Brazil's largest mobile operator, Vivo, selects Intec Telecom Systems to
consolidate mediation platforms


•  Telefonica Moviles and Portugal Telecom wireless joint venture Vivo
signs contract for Intec's Inter-mediatE to collect and process over 215 million
voice and IP/data calls daily


April 6, 2004 - Global operations support systems (OSS) provider Intec Telecom
Systems has won the mediation software contract for Vivo, a joint venture
between Telefonica Moviles and Portugal Telecom. Vivo will use Intec's mobile
mediation solution to consolidate six different companies throughout Brazil into
one data collection centre. The contract includes Intec's Inter-mediatETM
convergent mobile mediation platform with Duplicate and Correlation Manager as
well as Inter-mediatE Reporting. Vivo joins several other major service
providers in North America and Europe who have recently chosen to consolidate
multiple companies or platforms into a single convergent Inter-mediatE platform.



Selected at the conclusion of a detailed and competitive solution analysis,
consolidating mediation on Inter-mediatE will enable Vivo to shorten the time to
market for new mobile service offerings while reducing operating costs.
Inter-mediatE Reporting will allow Vivo to generate revenue assurance reports
and gain more control over its mediation processes.  Inter-mediatE's Correlation
and Duplicate Manager will help Vivo improve its billing accuracy for increased
revenue and better customer service quality, particularly for advanced IP-based
network services.



Luis Beato, CIO of Vivo, said, "We selected Intec because it has a leading-edge,
convergent solution for high-volume mobile mediation, a Centre of Excellence in
Brazil, and the technical knowledge to help us provide the most accurate and
advanced services to our customers. Because Vivo serves over half of the
cellular subscribers in Brazil, we needed a high performance solution that can
handle our current customer demand and scale to meet our needs as we continue to
grow."



The implementation of Inter-mediatE at Vivo will be managed by Intec's Centre of
Excellence in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and will be completed in the third quarter
of 2004.



Vivo has more than 21 million customers in 19 Brazilian states, including the
Federal District, covering 86 percent of the region. The Brazilian mobile market
is experiencing very rapid growth. Anatel, Brazil's telecommunications
regulator, estimated mobile phone users in Brazil at 46.4 million at the end of
2003.



"As shown in benchmark testing, Inter-mediatE is capable of processing more than
1.2 billion network events per hour," said Per Martell, Caribbean and Latin
American operations director for Intec. "Inter-mediatE was the mediation
platform of choice for each of the individual companies that now form Vivo.
Selection again by the Vivo joint venture validates that Inter-mediatE delivers
solid business value and a measurable return on investment to all mobile
operators, regardless of size."
