MAXIS, MALAYSIA PURCHASES TECNOMEN MESSAGING SYSTEM TO HARMONISE ITS ARCHITECTURE Tecnomen has signed an agreement to deliver a Voice Messaging System expansion and upgrade to Maxis Communications in Malaysia. This expansion enables Maxis to diversify their service offering. It also secures cost effectiveness for the future. Maxis is able to streamline its voice messaging architecture by consolidating messaging platforms to Tecnomen's centralised solution. This Next Generation Messaging System upgrade and expansion enables Maxis to extend its service offering to customers. This delivery also consists of Next Generation Voice Mail as well as other voice services such as Missed Call Notice, Intelligent Call Back, and Greeting Centre. "Tecnomen and Maxis have a long cooperation in the field of messaging. As a natural extension to this cooperation, Maxis has now decided to complement its service offering with Tecnomen's Messaging System and services. This delivery strengthens Tecnomen's position as one of the leading Next Generation Messaging System supplier in the Asia and Pacific region", says Mr Matti Kakko, Managing Director of Tecnomen Malaysia. Tecnomen holds operations throughout the Asia and Pacific region and has steadily and substantially increased its customer base and market share in that area. The growth rate of Asian telecommunications markets remains high. The Asian market is characterised by vast differences between mobile markets in the region, GSM being the dominant mobile phone technology, followed by CDMA technology. W-CDMA and TD- SCDMA technologies are becoming more common. The composition of operators' total revenues is undergoing a large change, due to the expected relative increase of data service usage congruent with 3G adoption. The Asian Pacific market has great potential for Tecnomen's services and the company's key target is to deliver messaging solutions to 2G, 2.5G and 3G networks.
