           Intec wins substantial mediation and activation deal with
                         Kenyan mobile leader Safaricom

July 22, 2004: Intec Telecom Systems, a global provider of operations support
systems (OSS) for fixed, mobile and IP/next-generation networks, today announced
it has signed a contract with Kenya's leading mobile telephony provider,
Safaricom, a Vodafone company. The agreement includes the purchase of Intec's
Inter-mediatE(TM) solution for mediation and Intec's Inter-activatE(TM) solution 
for flow through activation of mobile services. The deal is the sixth contract
announced in the past year by Intec in Africa, a continent that boasts some of
the world's most dynamic telecoms markets. As part of the agreement Intec's
support centre in Cape Town, South Africa will supply Safaricom with the
technical and implementation expertise to ensure a swift and seamless
integration of the solutions.

With Intec's Inter-mediatE solution Safaricom will gain fully convergent
mediation capabilities to support the deployment of new mobile technologies.
Inter-mediatE will help the company gather, process, and distribute usage data
from its network in real time. It will also give Safaricom the flexibility to
implement its own business rules for mediation processing, enabling the company
to launch new products and services quickly in full support of marketing
initiatives and changing regulatory requirements. Complementing the mediation
solution will be Intec's Inter-activatE(TM) solution, which will automatically
activate services for new subscribers and subscriber features. By automating
this process Safaricom will be able to enjoy greater operational efficiency,
enhanced revenue streams and faster time-to-market for new services.

"Our win in Kenya is further proof of the business opportunities that Africa
provides for the OSS industry," explains Dave Baker, Director of Intec's
operation in Southern Africa. "Kenya boasts a thriving mobile industry with two
major operators vying for leadership and another contender recently awarded a
license for services. Competition is therefore fierce and wireless providers
require the right OSS support to ensure fast time to market for new services.
Intec's Inter-mediatE and Inter-activatE solutions will provide Safaricom with
this capability, helping the company roll out services faster and maintain its
lead in Kenya's mobile market."

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."
