- Acision Increases Capacity by 250% to Cater for Boom in SMS Traffic

Acision, the world's leading messaging company, announced
today that Telenor Pakistan, one of the leading mobile operators in Pakistan,
has again selected the Acision SMSC to expand its messaging capacity to cater
for continued SMS traffic growth. With a capacity expansion of up to 250%,
Telenor Pakistan is well prepared to meet the messaging requirements of its
fast growing subscriber base.

The Pakistan mobile market is experiencing rapid subscriber
growth with thousands of customers signing up every month. The growth in
subscriber rate has consequently led way to triple digit growth in messaging
traffic over the last year. The Acision SMSC offers Telenor Pakistan a
complete solution to support the operator's entire SMS business managing
enormous messaging volumes with undisputed quality of service. In 2007,
Telenor Pakistan together with Acision conducted a messaging capacity upgrade
to cater for 12 million subscribers. As of December 2008, the subscriber 
base has reached 19.3 million, so an increase in messaging infrastructure 
capacity to meet anticipated messaging volumes was required.

Chief Technical Officer, Telenor Pakistan, Peter Anthony
Dindial commented, "For us, it is crucial to tap into the potential of the
Pakistan mobile market. To do this, we must meet the growing needs of our
subscribers and offer them reliable and high quality services that they
demand and deserve. Telenor and Acision have a relationship that spans the
globe across all Telenor entities. Based on our past experience with the
Acision SMSC, we recognise that having a reliable system is absolutely
critical in high volume traffic scenarios, enabling Telenor Pakistan to offer
subscriber services without an incident or any downtime."

Boudewijn Pesch, Managing Director for Acision in Asia
Pacific, added: "SMS continues to be the critical source of a mobile
operator's mobile data revenues. For Telenor Pakistan, growing and protecting
this revenue base is a fundamental business objective. Again, Telenor
Pakistan has selected Acision to deliver a highly stable, high performance
messaging solution. With a strong track record in global deployments, the
Acision SMSC continues to be the top choice for operators with high volume
data services."
