H3G Selects MIND CTI to Bill 3G Services

H3G Italy Purchases MIND’s Authentication, Authorization and Mediation Platform


H3G, the first multimedia mobile operator in Italy, and MIND CTI Ltd. (NASDAQ: MNDO), a leading developer and worldwide provider of billing and customer care, today announced the signing of a multi-year contract for the delivery of MIND’s solution for 3G mobile services in Italy.

The MIND-iPhonEX solution for H3G is an integral part of the SES – Services Enabler System – one of the critical components within the H3G network.

MIND-iPhonEX enables diverse content services for prepaid and post-paid subscribers and provides real-time AAA (Authentication, Authorization and Accounting). In particular, for prepaid subscribers the risk of balance overrun is eliminated, even when the services are used simultaneously.

MIND-iPhonEX is fully integrated with the best-of-breed components in H3G’s network, interfacing in real-time with the IP network elements and content servers on one hand, and with the back-office (OSS/MIS) applications, such as legacy billing, monitoring and fraud systems on the other hand.

“The agreement with MIND CTI is another piece of our strategy to create high-quality technological platforms. The billing system is one of our strengths and a partner like MIND CTI lets us optimize the work that we are completing as we get closer to the launch of our services. Together with the exclusive rights we have obtained, the availability of the most evolved platforms will enable us to present a winning offer to the market,” said Bob Fuller, H3G CEO.

“We are delighted to team with H3G, the multimedia mobile operator that plans to launch its services within the fourth quarter of the current year,” said Monica Eisinger, MIND President and CEO, “enabling the roll out of concurrent prepaid and post-paid data and content services. This win is a proof to MIND’s leading position as a 3G Service Enabler.”
