Syniverse Wins PEOPLEnet Universal Roaming Contract


    Syniverse Technologies (NYSE: SVR), a leading provider of
    technology and business solutions for the global telecommunications
    industry, announced today a new contract to supply PEOPLEnet,
    Ukraine's first nationwide 3G mobile operator, with a comprehensive
    range of roaming and clearing solutions that will drive choice for its
    subscribers and accelerate new data services.

    The unique multiservices contract will take PEOPLEnet services
    offering to the next level and enable CDMA-to-GSM and CDMA-to-CDMA
    network roaming for its subscribers as well as an improved, seamless
    data services experience in any location. Syniverse will manage all
    the processes for PEOPLEnet, who will gain time-to-market, operational
    expenditure and subscriber experience benefits.

    The contract win draws on Syniverse's long-standing expertise in
    the global CDMA market and as one of the leading global providers of
    roaming and clearing solutions.

    "We wanted much more than just a data clearing system," said
    Roaming Manager Tatiana Mashnina, PEOPLEnet. "We chose Syniverse for
    several reasons. First, PEOPLEnet will be able to leverage Syniverse's
    extensive roaming experience, allowing us to launch a high-quality
    universal roaming service for our subscribers. Furthermore, Syniverse
    has a truly comprehensive solution portfolio. We are able to get all
    our roaming and clearing needs addressed from one company via an
    integrated multiservices solution."

    The agreement also includes a number of complementary solutions
    that have been developed specifically to improve subscriber experience
    and PEOPLEnet's business agility in a dynamic and growing marketplace.

    PEOPLEnet will use Syniverse UniRoam(R), the first ever
    international standard, international roaming solution that allows
    operators to provide a universal global roaming service across both
    CDMA and GSM-based networks. UniRoam is complemented by Syniverse
    ACCESS(R) roaming data transaction clearinghouse service. ACCESS which
    will ensure accurate invoicing and settlement of PEOPLEnet's roaming
    voice calls and wireless data events, and simplify the exchange and
    management of information between the company and its roaming
    partners. PEOPLEnet also will use INPackSM, Syniverse's CDMA-based
    roaming data exchange service that provides secure, reliable transport
    of data as well as access to PEOPLEnet's roaming partners and
    Syniverse's mobile data roaming services. The multiservices agreement
    also encompasses Syniverse's International Networking Solution to
    support SS7 signaling and Syniverse's conversion services to support
    multiple roaming standards.

    "We are extremely pleased to have reached this important agreement
    with PEOPLEnet," said Eugene Bergen Henegouwen, Executive Vice
    President, EMEA, Syniverse. "This agreement is an excellent example of
    the expansion Syniverse is gaining in Eastern Europe, and we fully
    expect our momentum in the region to continue and grow with the
    market. It also clearly illustrates one of Syniverse's most important
    advantages, which is our ability to be a single-source supplier with
    the capability to support mobile operators whatever their roaming,
    clearing and exchange requirements."
