Luxembourg's Tele2/Tango Selects Teleglobe for SCCP Transport and Advanced Mobile Signaling Services

Business Wire
Teleglobe International Holdings Ltd (NASDAQ:TLGB), a leading
provider of international telecommunications services to Internet
service providers and fixed and mobile network operators, today
announced that the company has entered into an agreement with
Tango, the mobile operation of the Tele2 Group in Luxembourg, to be
Tango's International Gateway Provider (IGP) connection to other
mobile network operators around the world for Signaling Connection
Control Part (SCCP) and advanced signaling services for roaming.
Under the agreement, Tango will connect directly to more than 400
GSM operators spanning over 225 countries through Teleglobe's
global SS7 network for SCCP transit coverage. The reliable and
secure SCCP service and its associated management and reporting
will provide Tango with a high degree of revenue and service
quality assurance for Tango's international roaming and SMS
services. The service also provides access to a variety of revenue
and margin enhancing hosted value-added services, including a host
of roaming management services. "Beyond its extensive reach and
high-quality C7 network, Teleglobe has been able to differentiate
its services from alternative SCCP providers through its
signaling-based Mobile Services Platform, which will allow Tango to
benefit from high value-added services without the need to
integrate new equipment on our network," said Alex Zivoder, CEO of
TANGO. "Moreover, Teleglobe's signaling services provide unique
reporting and alert functionalities which are becoming increasingly
needed to properly monitor our roaming traffic." "Growth in roaming
and in international SMS is driving GSM operators to pay greater
attention to international service quality and maximization of
revenue and margins," said Stephane Brisebois, General Manager,
Signaling Services at Teleglobe. "Our global SCCP transit service
and corresponding roaming management services empower our GSM
operator customers to obtain the highest value for these growing
services. We are very excited to enable Tango and the Tele2 Group
enhanced roaming capabilities." Teleglobe's SCCP service is
designed for ITU and ANSI GSM operators who wish to use Teleglobe's
global signaling network to transport roaming and SMS signaling
traffic. It provides transport and Global Title Translation (GTT)
based on either ITU E.164 and E.214 or ANSI E.164 and E.212
numbering plan formats. The signaling is specific to roamers and
subscribers sending inter-network Short Message Service (SMS)
messages. The service can be used alone or with Teleglobe's
Wireless Global Roaming Service for ITU/ANSI conversion, allowing
seamless connectivity to and from North America. SCCP transit
customers directly connect to Teleglobe's network. Managed Roaming
enables the home network GSM operator to assign a traveling
subscriber onto a specific visited network. The home network
operator may specify the visited network that provides the best
delivery of the home network suite of services (improving the
customer experience and increasing use of these services) and/or
the preferred tariff terms for roaming (contributing to better
average margin per user, or AMPU). Combined with Teleglobe's
existing SCCP service for international SS7 transport and routing
management between mobile networks and the Wireless Global Roaming
(WGR) service for SS7 ITU/ANSI conversion, Teleglobe's advanced
Hosted Roaming Services provide the customer with a complete
integrated roaming solution for best service scalability,
reliability and costs. About Tele2/Tango: Tele2 is Europe's leading
