- SEGway Eases Mobile Service Provider's NP Challenges

ROCHESTER, New York

July 11, 2012

/PRNewswire/ -- PT (NASDAQ: PTIX), a

leading global supplier of advanced network communications, today announced

that Bakcell chose its SEGway Number Portability Solution for their network in

Baku, Azerbaijan

. The upgrade was required to comply with the country's

Ministry of Communications' mandate for service providers to make mobile

number portability available to subscribers this year. Bakcell is the first mobile

operator and leading Internet provider in the country, and presently serves

nearly 2.6 million customers.

The Number Portability solution was swiftly and economically deployed on PT's

robust SEGway Signaling platform, a modular and scalable system that is

already an integral element of Bakcell's mobile infrastructure. SEGway's

carrier-grade IP backbone provides an ideal platform for seamless growth and

the addition of revenue-generating features as networks evolve to next

generation.

Jordan Rashev, Bakcell's Head of Network Management Center Unit,

commented, "We faced an enormous challenge of selecting a vendor, testing,

and turning up Number Portability within a very short window of time, and

without impact to our network. We were confident that PT would deliver the

quality we are accustomed to and meet our deadline. We are extremely

pleased with their product and service."

"It is PT's rich and lengthy history of experience in the signaling field that

enables us to nimbly respond to service providers' challenges such as these,"

remarked John Slusser, President and CEO of PT. "We are proud to see the

SEGway footprint extending around the globe."

PT's SEGway Signaling products are deployed in over one thousand locations,

providing the Signaling backbone for many of the world's premier wireless

networks. With its small footprint and high throughput capacity, SEGway is

widely recognized as the industry's leading signaling architecture, with the

ability to scale from small to very large networks.
