             Poland's Tel-Energo buys integrated OSS solution from
                             Intec Telecom Systems

  •         Intec signs fourth deal in largest telecoms market in Eastern Europe
  •         Valued at over 2 million Euros

January 07, 2004: London/Warsaw - Intec Telecom Systems, a global provider of
Operations Support Systems (OSS) for fixed, wireless and IP/next generation
networks, today announced an integrated OSS solutions deal with Tel-Energo, one
of Poland's leading telecoms operators.  Under the terms of the agreement Intec
will supply the company with its InterconnecTTM and Inter-mediatETM billing and
mediation solutions to support the complex and diverse challenges of
Tel-Energo's fibre optic network. Tel- Energo is Intec's first Inter-mediatE and
fourth InterconnecT customer in Poland, making the country one of the biggest
revenue earners for Intec's software solutions in Eastern Europe.  Intec's new
agreement with Tel-Energo is valued at close to 2 million Euros and includes
licence and support fees.

"Intec's systems were selected over other suppliers for their ability to support
all network types as well as provide the scalability we require for our
telecommunication infrastructure", said Piotr Jonczyk, IT Director of
Tel-Energo. "The flexibility of these world-class solutions will ensure that the
billing system can grow with our needs without further upgrade requirements,
providing us with the income to compete in Poland's competitive
telecommunications market."

With proven performance and scalability, Intec's InterconnecT billing system
will optimise Tel-Energo's inter-carrier billing revenue by allowing the company
to charge other carriers and service providers for using its network facilities
and services. The solution will also support the demands of Tel-Energo's growing
network traffic, which will increase with Tel Energo's nationwide expansion.

Intec's convergent mediation solution, Inter-mediatE, will provide the platform
to facilitate the performance of InterconnecT. Compatible with fixed, wireless
and IP networks, Inter-mediatE's real-time mediation capabilities will enable
Tel-Energo to quickly collect, process and deliver information on the traffic
passing through its network. This will be performed on a single mediation
platform, minimising the support costs associated with running the system.

"Poland's telecommunications sector is in a state of rapid transition," explains
Peter Deane, Intec's Managing Director for EMEA. "Pressure from the EU and the
WTO has forced the state regulator, URTiP, to introduce new telecoms laws that
will encourage fiercer competition and increase mobile and fixed penetration
rates in Poland. Tel-Energo is responding to this new business environment by
investing in InterconnecT and Inter-mediatE. These solutions are specifically
designed to support interoperability with other operators and to help carriers
launch new services quickly and cost-effectively."

As a fully convergent solution, Inter-mediatE also allows Tel-Energo to use the
same mediation system for both its present voice services as well as its planned
introduction of next generation services.

 "Many Eastern European operators like Tel-Energo are facing the challenges
raised by telecoms deregulation and EU membership requirements," said Kevin
Adams, Intec's CEO.  "Unfortunately most of their in-house billing and mediation
systems are not prepared for these challenges since they have been designed for
routing simple CDRs and therefore cannot cope with the significantly increased
volumes of data from competing mobile and fixed carriers. Fortunately the
integration of Intec's solutions will provide a sophisticated billing package
for Tel-Energo's network. InterconnecT and Inter-mediatE are widely recognised
as the very best OSS products on the market today and will offer the necessary
flexibility and scalability Tel-Energo needs to achieve its expanding business
requirements."
