WOODBURY, NY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 9, 2004

Comverse, a unit of Comverse Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: CMVT), and the world's leading supplier of software and systems enabling network-based multimedia enhanced communication services, today announced that a number of compelling solutions from its Total Communication portfolio will be showcased at CommunicAsia2004. The Total Communication portfolio delivers innovative Real-Time Billing, Data & Content, Advanced Messaging, and Call Completion & Management solutions that are designed to enable operators to build profitability and customer loyalty. Participants visiting CommunicAsia2004, June 15-18 in Singapore, are invited to visit the Comverse booth (Hall 5, Booth 5H1-01) to learn first-hand about solutions from the Total Communication portfolio.

Real-Time Billing Solutions

The Comverse Real-Time Billing & Prepaid Solution delivers dynamic control of telephony services, including real-time rating of all services for all subscribers. This solution enables subscriber segmentation, flexible tariff setting, and improved customer care. Comverse's billing solution can manage many millions of active customer accounts simultaneously, with real-time authorization of every user request for voice, data and emerging m-payment services. The Comverse solution also imposes credit limits on all accounts, whether prepaid or postpaid, based on the user's ability to pay.

The Comverse Real-Time Converged Billing Solution offers the best of both prepaid and postpaid billing. The system offers a consistent administrative interface, a single tariff database and the ability to define and control multiple balances per user. As a result, users can enjoy the benefits of a hybrid account that allows them to distinguish between corporate and personal use.

Advanced Messaging Solutions

Comverse is highlighting a number of its advanced messaging services for 2.0, 2.5 and 3G networks at CommunicAsia2004.

MMS: At CommunicAsia2004 Comverse will announce the availability of Compact MMSC, a smaller configuration of the Comverse Multimedia Messaging Service Center (MMSC) solution. Designed primarily as an entry-level MMSC solution for smaller operators, Compact MMSC is a cost-effective solution that enables rapid time to market. Compact MMSC is fully scalable to the standard Comverse MMSC solution that is designed for high capacity and availability.

Comverse MMS A2P Expeditor is another recent addition to Comverse's MMS offerings; specifically designed to support event-based peaks and traffic bursts characterizing application-to-person MMS services. MMS A2P Expeditor can be deployed as a stand-alone A2P MMS system, integrated side-by-side with a lower-capacity third-party MMSC or upgraded to a high-capacity Comverse MMSC.

SMS: Comverse has recently announced that SMART Communications, the largest mobile operator in the Philippines, has selected the Comverse Intelligent Short Message Service Center (ISMSC) Accelerate solution. Operating one of the world's busiest networks in terms of SMS traffic, with a current peak load of 120 million SMS messages per day, SMART chose ISMSC Accelerate to manage its high-volume SMS traffic and better utilize the capacity of its existing Short Messaging Service Centers (SMSCs).

Comverse ISMS Accelerate integrates with Comverse and third-party SMSCs. Comverse's ISMSC delivers short messages in more than 140 mobile networks worldwide. The ISMSC offers throughput of 2,500 messages per second, cost-saving connectivity options, and the ability to optimize system resources and delivery mechanisms to match the different kinds of SMS traffic in the network. As a result, the ISMSC enables more efficient message delivery. Moreover, its support for prepaid SMS allows mobile carriers to provide the same level of SMS service to both prepaid and postpaid subscribers.

Videomail: Comverse Videomail includes Video Call Answering (VCA) capabilities that ensure that all video calls are answered, even when the called party is busy, out of 3G-coverage or simply not available. In such cases, video calls are diverted to the Video Call Answering service where callers view the called party's personalized outgoing video greeting, and then record and deposit their video message. Video messages are easily accessible from the user's mailbox by phone or PC, just like voice or email messages.

Record & Send: Comverse Record & Send enables users on next-generation (2.5 & 3G) networks to record voice messages on their handset and send them directly to individuals or groups - without making the phone ring or interrupting recipients. Like SMS, Record & Send lets subscribers send non-intrusive messages, but with the ease of use and richness of expression of voice. Record & Send makes it possible for voice messages to be sent to all users regardless of network type and voicemail status. Already used successfully in many businesses, Record & Send brings voice messaging to the masses, quickly becoming a preferred communications medium.

Mobile IM: The Comverse Mobile Instant Messaging (MIM) Solution recreates the PC-based IM experience on the mobile handset for quick uptake and increased usage. In addition, the solution enables immediate access to the large installed user base of the leading IM communities.
