- MetaSolv to Provision Mobile Convergent Services Across
Extensive MPLS VPN Network

MetaSolv Software, Inc., a global leader in comprehensive service
fulfillment solutions for next-generation communications service
providers, today announced that Cellcom Israel, the leading
telecommunications operator in Israel, has selected MetaSolv's IP
service activation solution to provision mobile convergent access
services across their extensive MPLS VPN network.

"After extensive testing and research, we selected MetaSolv's IP
service activation solution because of its comprehensive, out of the
box feature set coupled with its flexible and scalable architecture
that will easily allow us to activate additional services as we
grow," said David Ittah, Director of OSS at Cellcom. "The ability to
automate provisioning for complex VPN services across our
multi-vendor IP-based infrastructure allows us to continually expand
our service offering and maintain our commitment to customer service
excellence."

Cellcom is Israel's largest wireless operator with more than 2.5
million subscribers. Cellcom was the first to launch a GSM/GPRS
network in Israel, in addition to its TDMA infrastructure.

MetaSolv's IP service activation solution provides Cellcom with a
single software platform to streamline the management of the series
of tasks necessary to deliver real-time, dynamic services. Automating
network configuration processes for MPLS-based VPNs helps reduce
operational costs, speeds time to market, and significantly reduces
order errors and order fallout.

MetaSolv's IP activation capabilities enable rapid and efficient
provisioning of complex IP services, including Layer 2 and Layer 3
MPLS-based VPNs, Virtual Private LANs (VPLS), Traffic Engineering
Paths and IP Quality of Service, over large-scale, multi-vendor and
multi-OS IP networks. MetaSolv delivers high-reliability activation
through stateful service management, network auto-discovery and
synchronization, as well as sophisticated policy-based configuration
management. MetaSolv's multi-vendor, multi-service activation
capabilities have been deployed by more than 70 operators in over 25
countries for an array of services including Voice, VoIP, DSL, ATM,
Frame Relay, Optical and IP.

MetaSolv is working with Netcom, the Systems Integrator for this
deployment. Netcom specializes in organizational end-to-end
networking solutions.

"MetaSolv's global IP VPN activation leadership and market-proven
mobile solutions are key considerations for large service providers
such as Cellcom," said David Sharpley, MetaSolv's senior vice
president of marketing and product management. "By leveraging
MetaSolv's extensive experience in deploying large-scale VPNs,
operators can speed activation times and decrease time to market for
new services while at the same time reducing their operating costs."
