London, 13 April 2004 - The Board of Intec Telecom Systems PLC ("Intec") is

Director. Mr. Manning replaces Edward Astle who has resigned after nearly 4
years' service as a non-executive Director. The Board wishes to express its
sincere thanks to Mr. Astle who has played a substantial and important role in
guiding Intec since its 2000 listing.

technical experience of the global telecommunications industry to Intec, as well
as high-level knowledge of public company management. His expertise in
high-growth companies and the business needs of our customers and target market
will be invaluable to us. And, on behalf of the entire Company, I would like to
thank Edward Astle for an outstanding contribution to the progress of Intec."



"I have been aware of Intec, as an important software supplier to the global
telecoms industry, for some years, so I am particularly pleased to be joining
the Board at this time as I believe Intec has great potential," added Mr.
Manning. "Intec has established a strong business position in its core markets
and a global reputation for technically strong products and long-term customer
relationships. I look forward to helping guide Intec as it executes its
ambitious business plans."
