TECNOMEN RECEIVES USD 2.4 MILLION PREPAID ORDER FROM NICARAGUA

Tecnomen has been selected to supply a prepaid voice service capacity expansion,

addition allows deployment of new convergent charging services for the data
market. Both markets, prepaid voice and data, are expected to keep growing in the
coming years", says Oscar Fernandez, Managing Director of Tecnomen Latin America.
"Tecnomen is committed to the Central America region as it is one of the top
prepaid areas in Latin America, with significant potential to develop further",
Mr Fernandez notes.

Tecnomen's system features a new range of value-added services focused on
increasing ARPU. Tecnomen Charging provides functionality for prepaid and post-
paid billing, charging and rating of voice calls, video calls, raw data traffic
and any kind of content services in both mobile and fixed networks. The Charging
