MADRID, June 2 /PRNewswire/ --     Link2One, provider of the world's fastest growing multi-lateral roaming

The pioneering Link2One hub has been developed by MACH, the
leading provider of solutions to simplify and accelerate the creation and
operation of the mobility supply chain, in partnership with Telefonica, one
of the world's largest communications operators. It offers global roaming
coverage to operators through one agreement and one connection, in addition
to full Inter-Standard Roaming capabilities covering GSM and CDMA
technologies.

Link2One is a fully-operational, global coverage Open
Connectivity roaming hub that delivers carrier-grade service, combining
industry Open Connectivity requirements and MACH's stringent product testing
programme and service standards.

"Link2One's proven reliability, competitive pricing structures
and the speed at which operators can join the hub are reflected in the
numbers we have announced today," said Terence Ledger, Senior Vice President
of Link2One. "We have been leading innovation in Open Connectivity hub
development and management for 5 years, and the growth statistics announced
today highlight our leadership position in the industry."

Increasing regulation of the mobile roaming market, along with
heightened consumer sophistication and competition, have put pressure on
mobile operator roaming revenues. At the same time, growing consumer demand
for data-based applications has changed the nature of roaming services,
requiring operators to quickly embrace new technologies. The resulting margin
pressure requires that operators reduce time-to-market for new services and
drive down costs in their roaming business.

Link2One brings over 20 years combined experience in setting
up and managing roaming agreements so that operators can quickly establish
their roaming business based on proven principles.

Access to new partners, to the full range of roaming
technologies and services, and to emerging technologies and providers, is
fast and risk-free. The ongoing cost of operating partner agreements is
greatly reduced, and members can leverage MACH's full range of roaming
services including clearing and settlement, messaging, fraud protection and
business intelligence solutions.

"Link2One has greatly simplified the management of our roaming
relationships and reduced the cost of operating our roaming business. We can
now get to market faster, and concentrate on delivering a reliable,
innovative and competitive portfolio of services to our customers," said
Steve Lambourne, Technical Sales Director of CTS Gibraltar, part of the CTS
Group and the new 3G operator covering the 7 million roaming visitors each
year to the European state. "With Link2One, we receive a single IMSI roaming
solution, access to our most important destinations and new roaming partners
every month without the need to maintain a large roaming department."
