Luxembourg, 10 October, 2006 – MACH, one of the leading providers of inter-operator solutions to the telecommunications and data industry worldwide, today announced that it has opened a regional office in Poland to strengthen its global Client Support programme and service development. MACH was also recently selected by Poland’s new operator P4, the mobile communication challenger who was awarded 3G license in September 2005. MACH will deliver data and financial clearing and MACH’s regional presence was key to P4’s selection.

MACH already has three years of experience with outsourcing of development projects to Poland where the country’s large number of highly educated and multilingual workforce offers an excellent location for a Client Support and development centre.

“Poland is in the heart of Europe and is one of the foremost locations for R&D investment – which makes it ideal for us” commented Martin Lippert, Chief Executive Officer at MACH. “We are always looking for ways to ensure that the client support operators receive from us is the best in the industry. Our new regional office is testament to this.”

Lippert continued: “We are delighted to have been chosen by P4, one of the coming leading operators of the region, and we are looking forward to partnering with them to share our expertise. MACH has vast experience in supporting new licensees providing both the technology and the knowledge to help them secure additional revenue streams. This requires a reliable global support team which we can provide from a regional location.”

Chris Bannister, Chief Executive Officer from P4 explained: “The mobile market in Poland is growing rapidly. We are keen to make sure that our customers from the outset benefit from a comprehensive portfolio of services including dependable and secure international roaming.

“Not only can MACH offer expertise in data and financial clearing, they combine global reach with local understanding to provide a service that fits with what we are looking for.”
“P4 is proactively securing international roaming agreements with operators to help our subscribers when travelling abroad” added Paul Morrison, Roaming Manager at P4.

MACH Poland will serve as an extended competence centre to MACH’s ten other locations in Brazil, Denmark, Germany, India, Luxembourg, Russia, Singapore, United Arab Emirates, U.K., and U.S.
