TECNOMEN RECEIVES USD 2.1 MILLION PREPAID EXPANSION ORDER FROM GUATEMALA

Tecnomen has been chosen to supply a prepaid voice service capacity expansion to
PCS Digital in Guatemala. PCS Digital Guatemala has been using Tecnomen's Prepaid
System in Telgua fixed networks as well as CDMA and GSM since 2003.

"This expansion will provide PCS Digital the needed capacity to support their
continuous subscriber growth. In Guatemala the cellular market has a 50% growth
rate", says Mr Oscar Fernandez, Managing Director, Tecnomen Latin America. "The
Guatemalan cellular market penetration is still under 50%, therefore we expect
market growth in both the number of new subscribers and in new types of services
offered."

Tecnomen's solution features a new range of value-added services focused on
increasing ARPU. Tecnomen Charging includes comprehensive functionality for
prepaid and post-paid billing, charging and rating of voice and video calls, raw
data traffic and any kind of content services in both mobile and fixed networks.
The solution has been pre-integrated with network equipment from leading network
vendors, and supports the simultaneous use of different bearer network standards.
