Toronto, Ontario. June 17th, 2003 - NTG Clarity Networks Inc., announces that it has been awarded a contract by INTERLINK, through its strategic marketing partner in Kuwait, Middle East Digital Communications (MEDCOMM Systems), to design, build and operate a financial clearinghouse for roaming settlement that will allow subscribers to purchase services and “top up” their accounts across multiple GSM based networks in the Middle East Gulf States region.

In the Middle East market where more than 70% of the mobile subscribers have prepaid accounts, NTG’s solution will make it easier for customers to buy services directly from their mobile phones via an IVR and a secure web portal. For the first time, prepaid subscribers will have a more convenient roaming capability and be able to “top up” their accounts and purchase new services across multiple participating networks in the Gulf States region. When fully operational, the Clearing House will streamline settlement processes and data collection cycles, facilitate the roaming of prepaid phones, provide online processing of billing data and manage roaming data traffic and data services.

“We chose NTG as a strategic partner because of their strong expertise in designing and integrating networks and developing network-based applications”, said Naser Karmi, Managing Director of MEDCOMM Systems. “We were particularly impressed with the speed at which NTG can bring such a complex solution to market and their ability to provide full support in the Middle East.”

“This contract substantiates NTG’s growth strategy in pursuing international opportunities that capitalize on the company’s extensive networking, telecom and software development expertise”, commented Ashraf Zaghloul, NTG Clarity’s Chairman and CEO. “Our Roaming Subscriber Clearing House solution demonstrates NTG’s vision in delivering world-class technology solutions that provide a high return on investment for our customers and enable them to offer added value services. We look forward to growing our relationship with MEDCOMM in pursuing many more new opportunities in the Middle East.”

The first phase of the multi phase rollout will be launched within 90 days to mobile subscribers in Kuwait. The contract is valued at approximately $1M USD plus annual support fees and a revenue sharing agreement that gives NTG access to a percentage of the revenues generated from settlement and clearinghouse fees.
