PHOENIX, July 21 /PRNewswire/ --

- Infrastructure Facilitates Communications Between Jordan, Baghdad and 
Basra

Antenna Technology Communications Inc., a provider of commercial
satellite communications systems, today announced that it has completed one
year operations of an advanced cellular communications system for Mobile
Telecommunications Company (MTC). MTC offers mobile telephony services in
Kuwait and is currently one of the leading mobile operators in the Middle
East with over 3.4 million customers across the region in Kuwait, Bahrain,
Jordan, Iraq and Lebanon. MTC is currently known as MTC-Vodafone in Kuwait 
and Bahrain, Fastlink in Jordan, MTC Atheer in Iraq, MTC Touch in Lebanon and 
Celtel in Africa (13 countries).

In cooperation with Intelsat's global satellite fleet over the Middle
East, for over a year, ATCi has been able to complete GSM services from
principally Iraq to anywhere in the world. Moreover, through this system Zain
can use their next generation network infrastructure to provide profitable
yet efficient services globally.

The innovative contract signed between the two companies calls for an
after-care warrantee period upon the Intelsat verification of the integrity
of the circuit to ensure continued high quality communications to these
regions for the future. ATCi is in the process of implementing additional
cost-effective GSM backhaul systems which are being implemented
throughout the Middle East and Africa over the upcoming years.

"The Zain vision for providing dependable high quality mobile services is
really making a positive difference in these regions," said Gary Hatch,
ATCi's CEO. "Conceivably, Zain's caring ability to work honestly and
reasonably with integration companies such as ATCi formulates the teaming
required to provide vital communications services to one of the most
precarious countries in the world," Hatch concluded.

This has now become the widest reaching mobile telecommunication network
in the country, MTC Atheer provides services to about 3,250,000 customers.
ATCi handled the scope of the project from turn-key design and integration to
installation and testing.
