Redknee to Partner in Digicel's Expansion Across 15 Caribbean Countries

TORONTO, Ontario – October 26, 2005 – Redknee, Inc., a leading global provider of communication software to wireless network operators, announced today it won a contract to become a strategic partner to the Digicel Group as it moves forward in expanding its GSM network across 15 countries in the Caribbean region.

Redknee said it would extend Customer Care and Billing/Settlement functionality including CRM and USSD applications to additional Digicel islands, as well as provide complete integration with Ericsson’s prepaid charging system.

With the completion of Digicel’s acquisition of seven Cingular Wireless operations in the Caribbean as well as Bermuda, the company is now in a position to increase the size of its pan-Caribbean network to include Anguilla, Antigua & Barbuda, Bermuda, St. Kitts & Nevis and Dominica and has received regulatory approval for the acquisition of Cingular’s operations on the islands of Grenada, St. Lucia and St. Vincent & the Grenadines where Digicel already operates. The company looks forward to receiving regulatory approval in the remaining islands of Barbados, the Cayman Islands in the near future.

Having acquired Curaçao Telecom in March 2005, Digicel, the fastest growing mobile operator in the Caribbean, is also preparing to launch in Haiti and Trinidad & Tobago. This impressive expansion brings the company to 15 countries of operation, covering a total population of 14 million.

“Digicel is pleased to partner with Redknee as we enter this next exciting phase of growth,” said Mario Assaad, Chief Technology Officer at Digicel Group. “Redknee’s advanced software will play a key role in ensuring our expansion will be as seamless an experience as possible for new and existing customers. We look forward to Redknee’s support for a smooth migration of our newly acquired prepaid customer base and postpaid subscribers into Digicel’s Converged Billing solution and messaging platform respectively.”

The deployment of Redknee’s Customer Care and Billing/Settlement services will begin later this year. Redknee did not disclose any financial details about the deal.

“Digicel’s expansion is a testament to their rapid and successful growth as the fastest growing mobile operator in the region,” said Lucas Skoczkowski, CEO of Redknee. “This expansion announcement exemplifies our long time partnership with Digicel, and Redknee is committed to helping Digicel build on their current successes and vision to deliver a wireless network that stretches across the entire Caribbean region.”

With investments in the Caribbean exceeding well over US$600 million, Digicel is making significant strides in its mission to create a seamless pan-Caribbean network. The company records a 67 percent market share across all its current markets and anticipates a 30 percent increase in staff by the end of 2006 from its current figure of 1051, due to subscriber growth and market expansion.
