-- Orascom Telecom subsidiary in Bangladesh will use
Comptel software to improve fulfillment processes for
mobile services


    HELSINKI, Finland, Nov. 26 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ --
Comptel Corporation (OMX Helsinki: CTL1V), the leading
vendor of dynamic Operations Support System (OSS) software,
announced today that mobile operator banglalink, a fully
owned subsidiary of Orascom Telecom Holding (OTH), has
selected Comptel Provisioning and Activation Solution.
banglalink is the second announcement of an OTH subsidiary
selecting Comptel software since the publication of Comptel
status as preferred supplier to the group.

    banglalink has been pursuing an aggressive strategy of
growth. In 2006 alone, banglalink grew its subscriber base
by over 250%. However, banglalink identified that their
existing activation solution would not be able to keep pace
with their ambitions. As a result, banglalink selected
Comptel Provisioning and Activation Solution to automate
mobile service activation.

    Mr. Waleed El-Sonbaty, IT Director for banglalink,
says: "Orascom Telecom chose Comptel's solutions based
on their impressive track record and technological
superiority in the telecoms marketplace worldwide. With the
rapid increase of banglalink's subscriber base, over 5.1
million (Q2, 2007) in just over two years, it is imperative
for us to continue providing our customers with the best
available quality when it comes to our products and
services, service delivery, service stability and overall
credibility of our operations. Comptel's suite of products
will also provide us the required flexibility and optimal
time to market to tailor solution catering for our
differentiated clientele base."

    Mr. Mohamed Kamel Selim, Application Development &
Billing Support Manager at banglalink, continues:
"banglalink is a key-player in Bangladeshi telecom
market in products and services delivery. By selecting
Comptel Provisioning and Activation Solution, we want to
continue in delivering innovative products and services
fast and reliable to our customers and also cost effective.
We rely on Comptel's extensive experience and technical
capabilities to achieve these targets and to continue as
main key-player in the market."

    Comptel Provisioning and Activation Solution automates
the service fulfillment processes. With a single interface,
it covers the entire workflow -- from service order to start
of billing. At banglalink, Comptel Provisioning and
Activation Solution will be used to activate both voice and
data services, for postpaid and prepaid customers.

    Mr. Kari Pasonen, Comptel's Senior Vice President,
Provisioning and Activation Business, concludes:
"banglalink's selection of Comptel is yet another
proof of our leadership in fulfillment. It is also yet
another success for Comptel on the subcontinent which is
one of the fastest growing regions in the world for telecom
services. And of course, this announcement reinforces our
relationship with banglalink's parent company, Orascom
Telecom."
