        Intec signs groundbreaking €2 million mediation deal in Romania

April 26, 2004, London/Bucharest: Intec Telecom Systems, a global provider of
Operations Support Systems (OSS) for fixed, wireless and next generation/IP
networks, today announced it has a won a two million euro contract to supply
Romania's national fixed line provider ROMTELECOM with Inter-mediatE(TM), the
market leading, high-performance, fully convergent mediation solution. Under the
terms of the agreement ROMTELECOM will implement Inter-mediatE to centrally
manage its service offerings quickly and efficiently, taking advantage of the
application's powerful, distributed architecture to gather and process network
call data information for use in billing and other downstream systems.
ROMTELECOM's selection of Intec as its mediation provider was based on the
quality of Intec's comprehensive solution in addition to its strong local
service and support capabilities, extensive experience in mission critical OSS
and recognised expertise in designing and implementing mediation systems.

The contract win underlines Intec's ongoing business expansion into emerging
European markets. The Polish, Hungarian and Latvian PTTs are already existing
users of Intec's solutions, in addition to a growing number of mobile carriers
including Eurotel in the Czech Republic and VimpelCom in Russia.

"After an extensive evaluation of other mediation products Intec's Inter-mediatE
was chosen for  a number of reasons, including its high level flexibility, which
stems from the application's configurable, fully convergent, rules-driven
architecture," explains David Craig, CIO at  ROMTELECOM. "No other mediation
software on the market could better deliver the scalability to allow us to
independently control business rules. With Inter-mediatE, ROMTELECOM will be
able to roll out new services quickly and efficiently - with real-time
functionality - by using the software to format, process and output network
data. Intec's relationship with local partners as well as its dedicated support
team will also be beneficial to the company both during and after the migration
project."

ROMTELECOM is currently consolidating its main network applications at a central
level. When fully installed, Intec's solution will enable the company to
integrate its voice and data mediation processing activities from a single data
centre in the country's capital. This will be achieved by configuring the
application to collect and mediate all of the Call Detail Records (CDRs)
generated by ROMTELECOM's diverse range of switches, which include pulse-based
as well as state-of-the-art digital technologies.

"Intec is gaining momentum in the high-growth emerging markets in Europe where
providers must possess the capability to rapidly address changing conditions and
requirements to create competitive advantages," said Peter Deane, Intec's
director for EMEA. "The flexibility and scalability inherent in Inter-mediatE
will help bring ROMTELECOM's services to market quickly and help support the
company's nationwide expansion as it grows its customer services.  These
features will also ensure that the company can rely on Inter-mediatE for both
its present as well as future services, thereby maximising its return on
investment."

ROMTELECOM's fixed line system supports a fast-growing subscriber base of about
4 million users at present.  The company is expected to increase this figure to
25% by the end of next year.
