Business Editors

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 25, 2000

Amdocs (NYSE: DOX), the world's leading provider of customer care, billing and order management solutions for communications and Internet services, announced today that Airserve will deploy Amdocs' IAF Horizon system for real-time flexible billing and service management. IAF Horizon for mobile IP has been enhanced to support complex business models such as revenue sharing, sponsored services and m-commerce.

Airserve is a mobile Internet provider offering end-to-end mobile IP solutions that enable its customers to quickly and easily launch revenue-generating services at minimal costs with low risk. Airserve currently offers WAP, SMS and hosting services, and will use the IAF Horizon platform to continue to introduce next-generation wireless services such as GPRS and UMTS.

"The Solect Division's integrated billing and customer management system was a natural choice for us," said Airserve Managing Director, Ian Dabson. "IAF Horizon is integrated with Nokia's Artus WAP Gateway and Mobile Application Exchange portal technology which we have already selected."

Dabson continued, "With more mobile customers wanting to taking advantage of m-commerce, only real-time billing can meet customer demands and give us the necessary credit and fraud controls. The billing system must be highly flexible, user friendly and allow unrelated programs to 'talk' to each other. In addition, it must have the ability to base charging on any combination of usage records. IAF Horizon met all of these requirements."

"The Solect Division was first to market with a mobile IP billing solution, and as a division of Amdocs we are well positioned to leverage a very large installed base of leading mobile service providers who will launch Internet services in the very near future," said Paul Atkinson, President of Amdocs' Solect Division. "Mobile IP is a key component of our product strategy and we will continue to work closely with leading network equipment vendors to ensure we remain ahead of the technology curve in the mobile IP arena."

Airserve will use the IAF Horizon solution, further enhanced by a hierarchical account structure capability, to allow for accounts with rating tables allocated individually and assignable numbers of users for each. This enables billing against usage, time, and access level, individual or group transactions, and cross promotions and subsidies, depending on the account profile.

In addition, due to IAF Horizon's virtual ISP capability, large companies will have the ability to manage their own databases. IAF Horizon also has the ability to rapidly process multi currency transactions, promotions, supermarket points, air miles and ticketing.
