Qujing Tel Selects ACE*COMM Convergent Mediation(TM)

Technology for Real-time Data Collection Project

ACE*COMM Corporation (NASDAQ: ACEC), a global provider of advanced operations support systems (OSS) technologies and Westlake Global Technology Solutions (Westlake), a technology solutions reseller and ACE*COMM's Master Reseller partner in China, announced today the signing of a contract with Qujing Tel to deliver ACE*COMM's DCMS(R) mediation solution for the initial phase of a real-time data collection initiative in Yunnan Province. When completed, the program will provide for timely delivery of detailed transaction information to Qujing Tel's customers. Further details of the contract were not released.

"We are pleased to be gaining momentum in terms our market penetration efforts in China. This new application further underscores the value and viability of ACE*COMM's Convergent Mediation(TM) technology to this marketplace," said Shanjun Xiong, Vice President of Westlake. "ACE*COMM's mediation technology will play a vital role in the modernization of Qujing Tel's network and call accounting system. We look forward to working with Qujing Tel to provide a fast and considerable return on investment, both financially and in terms of functionality, service, and reliability."

ACE*COMM's DCMS(R) data gateway captures, collects, processes, and stores Call Detail Records (CDRs) and traffic data generated by network elements and switches in a telecommunications environment. As part of the Convergent Mediation(TM) solutions suite, DCMS(R) significantly improves the reliability of customer billing operations, reduces the risk of having lost or inaccurate billing data, and speeds the transport of billing records between the network and the central billing systems. It also reduces operational costs, boasts a very high performance rating, and allows for rapid integration of emerging standards and technologies.

"There are many reasons why Chinese communications service providers are improving their call accounting and mediation systems. One of the most compelling of these is the matter of cost savings and revenue assurance," said Martin Demers, ACE*COMM's Chief Marketing Officer. "From ACE*COMM's perspective, effective revenue assurance begins with reliable single-source data capture and collection, security, validation and repair. The objective is to first ensure that every usable record is indeed captured, and to then ensure maximum revenue from each of these records. Qujing Tel can expect our robust collection and mediation system to reduce data capture, collection, and processing costs, and to virtually eliminate revenue leaks caused by older and riskier processes."
