· Growing ILEC to use convergent solution for multi-service
portfolio including GPRS
February 10, 2004 – Intec , a global
provider of billing and Operations Support Systems (OSS) for fixed,
wireless, and IP/next generation networks, today announced a
contract with Union Telephone Company of Wyoming, US for a suite
of products to automate and streamline the operator’s service
operations, and to enable Union Telephone to improve its service
offerings, quality, and delivery to its customers throughout the
region. Union Telephone will license all of Intec’s main US
product offerings, including convergent mediation
(Inter-mediatE), service activation (Inter-activatE), and
carrier access billing (InterconnecT CABS CG). This will provide

assures customer service satisfaction.
In business for 90 years, Union Telephone Company is a
family-owned and operated independent local exchange carrier
(ILEC) serving areas of Wyoming, Utah, and Colorado. Originally
a wireline operator for southwest Wyoming only, in the last
decade Union Telephone expanded its service offering and
coverage area with wireless voice, cable, and Internet access.
“Intec has a long history of serving the needs of the ILEC
community and is actively targeting this market with
appropriately sized, comprehensive solutions that will allow
them to maximise the revenue derived from their network usage.
Intec is very pleased to add Union Telephone to our growing list
of ILEC customers,” said Fred Brott, President of Intec North
