Cherry(R) from Mondial Telecom Selects Comverse to Launch Mobile Services in Belgium

When subscribing to Cherry's mobile service, customers receive a
dual-mode mobile handset that operates over WiFi within its coverage
zone and switches seamlessly to GSM technology when leaving the WiFi
coverage zone. This communication between GSM and VoIP over WiFi is made
possible by Comverse Netcentrex IP Communications.

Deployed as a Software as a Service (SaaS) service model at the Comverse
Netcentrex hosting center, this has allowed Cherry to launch service in
the Belgium market without a mobile infrastructure. As a Mobile Virtual
Network Operator, Cherry also does not have its own licensed frequency
allocation of radio spectrum.

"Comverse has been a valuable partner in this innovative project by
enhancing the intelligence of the network to offer affordable mobile
services over a unified network with user transparency," said Bernard
Noel de Burlin, CEO of Mondial Telecom.

"Comverse Netcentrex hosted services is at the heart of our strategy to
innovate into the mobile market and by doing so, become a
differentiating mobile service provider," de Burlin said. "Both our
business model and the technical know-how of Comverse were critical
success factors for this launch."

Comverse's technology, for instance, complemented Mondial Telecom's
experience in all customer facing aspects, including back-office
operations and agreements with a wide range of operators, such as global
hotspots, WiFi providers, and mobile and fixed network providers.

"This innovative technical FMC solution is an excellent example of how
IP Communications expands the telecommunications business model," said
Lionel Chmilewsky, CEO of Netcentrex IP Communications at Comverse, the
world's leading supplier of software and systems enabling value-added
messaging and content services, converged billing and active customer
management, and IP communications.

"Our hosted IP Communications model, together with the robust,
high-quality Comverse Netcentrex solution, lowers the technical and
financial risk and the high entry cost for service providers to provide
voice services," he said.

Cherry envisions launching a similar service in other countries with
various Internet Service Providers (ISP) and fixed and/or mobile
operators. "This model that we developed with Comverse and some other
partners has high potential," said Jose Zurstrassen, Chairman of Mondial
Telecom and the founder of Skynet, the largest ISP in Belgium.

Comverse's hosting facilities provide a full range of IP communications
services for the enterprise and consumer markets with carrier-grade
service quality and availability. Comverse Netcentrex Hosted IP
Communications is the ideal solution for rapid, cost-effective
deployment of innovative and attractive value-added services.
