Deutsche Telekom ICSS expands its portfolio with leading edge mobile offering

Bonn, August 7, 2009 – Deutsche Telekom International Carrier Sales & Solutions (ICSS), an innovative player on the wholesale market and one of the largest voice carriers, is reinforcing its presence on the mobile markets by launching “ICSS Mobile World.”

Under the name "ICSS Mobile World", ICSS is offering a competitive set of mobile products combining basic and new aspiring services - a unique offer with one contract at attractive pricing conditions - starting immediately.
Within the comprehensive set of reliable, innovative, future-oriented data, roaming, and messaging services, the customer can choose to bundle four, three, or two services.

Customers can select the following offers:

• IP eXchange service, a premium-quality solution based on GSMA standards that promises reliable delivery of traffic while offering the flexibility to apply an appropriate level of quality.
  The solution includes a completely managed connection with quality of service, high flexibility,and scalability, including CPE (customer premise equipment) for fixed network access up to 2.5 Gbps or IPsec access up to 30 Mbps.

• SMS eXchange, an SMS hubbing service that provides seamless, worldwide termination of high-quality SMS messages regardless of the network and destination country.
  SMX offers a “one-stop shopping, one hub, one contract, one bill” solution with extended international connectivity and without additional investment to MNOs and MVNOs but also to SMS aggregators through a single interface.

• Signaling for International Roaming provides the customer with a high-quality, low-cost solution for all signaling for international roaming needs.

• MMX allows interconnection to a large number of partners and provides collection, mediation, rating, reporting, invoicing, and interworking negotiation.

In February 2009, ICSS launched SMS eXchange. In July 2009, ICSS then entered the market with the new IPX platform.
The IPX (IP eXchange) platform enables seamless convergence between different provider networks and thus interoperability among mobile network operators (MNOs), fixed network operators (FNOs), ISPs, and content and application providers. GRX traffic is supported on the ICSS IPX platform and GRX customers can be seamlessly migrated to IPX. The MMX service can be easily activated as existing service on the platform, as well.

All that in combination with the already existing, advanced WiFi roaming platform demonstrates ICSS’s commitment to next-generation interconnection.

"We are continuing to enhance our comprehensive portfolio of mobile products and offering our products and services in flexible, cost-effective bundles," Helmut Angst, Senior Vice President at Deutsche Telekom ICSS, says. "This lets our customers provide their own customers with more, new mobile services at attractive prices and thus improves competitiveness."
