Saudi Telecom Selects Narus for Real-Time VoIP Detection; Premier Middle East Carrier Chooses Narus' IP Platform to Manage and Protect Network Revenue.

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. -- Narus Inc., the world's leading carrier-class IP Platform provider, today announced that it was selected by Saudi Telecom, the pre-eminent telecommunications provider in the region, to provide Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) detection services. By employing Narus' VoIP detection application, Saudi Telecom has recovered revenue that would otherwise be lost through unregulated VoIP traffic.

The Narus IP Platform captures and analyzes all VoIP traffic in the Saudi Telecom network; the VoIP detection application identifies and blocks traffic destined for unregistered international VoIP gateways thus enforcing that traffic must be directed through regulated, tariffed gateways. Narus is the leading choice for managing IP services in the Middle East largely because of its ability to successfully address critical business issues like VoIP detection in real time. Narus' Partner, Giza Systems, deployed and configured the Narus IP Platform for VoIP detection at Saudi Telecom.

"We are pleased that Saudi Telecom has selected Narus' IP Platform and its VoIP detection application to provide real-time information in order to better manage and protect its corporate network," said Greg Oslan, president and CEO of Narus Inc. "The Narus IP Platform provides complete analysis of both summary and detailed content data simultaneously so that Saudi Telecom has a complete view of its network in real time and can make immediate business decisions."

In choosing Narus' Carrier-Class IP Platform, Saudi Telecom not only receives the benefit of capturing and analyzing VoIP traffic, but also has the opportunity to extend the already deployed infrastructure to new applications for infrastructure protection, IP billing mediation, traffic analysis, customer analysis, and lawful intercept.

Narus provides a carrier-class IP Platform for the largest, most profitable networks in the world. The Narus IP Platform offers a "Total Network View" through the real-time collection and analysis of one packet to billions of packets across multiple networks at up to OC192 rates. The Narus IP Platform is used by Tier-1 carriers to enable IP applications such as, security, traffic and customer analysis, IP monitoring and billing. Narus is privately held and fully funded, backed by JP Morgan Partners, Mayfield, NeoCarta, Intel, Presidio Venture Partners, Sumisho Electronics and Walden Ventures.
