Intec signs substantial mediation and service activation
deal with Kenyan mobile leader Safaricom
Atlanta/London, July 22, 2004 - Intec Telecom
Systems, a global provider of operations support systems (OSS)
for fixed, mobile and IP/next-generation networks, today
announced the signing of a contract with Kenya's leading mobile
telephony provider, Safaricom, a Vodafone company. The agreement
includes the licensing of Intec's Inter-mediatE™ solution for
mediation and Intec's Inter-activatE™ solution for flow-through
activation of mobile services. This is the sixth contract
announced in the past year by Intec in Africa, a continent that
boasts some of the world's most dynamic telecom markets. As part
of the agreement, Intec's support center in Cape Town, South
Africa will supply Safaricom with the technical and
implementation expertise to ensure a swift and seamless
integration of the solutions.
Intec was selected as the provider of Safaricom's mediation and
service provisioning solutions as a result of the company's
global reputation for proven performance and fast deployment of
services. These are crucial requirements for Safaricom as the
company expands its GSM network across the country. Intec's
solutions will provide the necessary support for Safaricom to
achieve its growth without any compromise in the quality and
reliability of its wireless services.
"We are pleased to be working with Safaricom, a subsidiary of
Telkom Kenya and Vodafone Group, the world's biggest mobile
operator," said Kevin Adams, Intec's CEO. "Like many of our
existing customers in Africa-including Telecom Egypt, Nitel,
Vodacom South Africa and MTN Nigeria-Safaricom will install
Intec's solutions to gain the required network reliability and
support to maintain a significant competitive advantage in
Kenya's fast-growing market."
