Telefonica Deutschland Chooses Telarix to Deliver Traffic Management, Trading and Least Cost Routing Software

    VIENNA, Va., April 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Telarix, Inc., the leading provider
 of Interconnect Business Optimization software, today announced an agreement
 with Telefonica Deutschland GmbH to implement Telarix's iXTools to provide
 traffic, revenue and cost visibility, and to support the trading and routing
 processes for Telefonica's Germany-based interconnect voice operations.  The
 implementation will allow Telefonica Deutschland GmbH to grow its emerging
 interconnect voice business, providing insight into voice traffic and
 financial data for the carrier.  Telefonica Deutschland GmbH is a subsidiary
 of international telecom service provider, Telefonica International Wholesale
 Services, and is the first Telefonica group member to choose Telarix.
     Telefonica International Wholesale Services selected Telarix's iXTools to
 enable a real-time view of its German and UK networks and to better monitor
 its interconnect agreements with international telecom carriers.  The company
 selected Telarix among several other vendors because of the flexibility and
 functionality of its solution.  In addition, Telarix was selected for its
 ability to provide local and global support, and to deploy quickly within
 Telefonica Deutschland's networks.
     With global interconnect voice activity on the rise, the need for
 streamlined methods to reduce costs and lower the risk of lost revenue is
 high.  iXTools will provide round-the-clock visibility into Telefonica
 Deutschland's networks and the ability to analyze risks and rewards when
 dealing with telecommunications carriers.
     "We were impressed by Telarix's ability to respond to our need for rapid
 implementation and to provide an end-to-end solution at the same time," said
 Susana Calvo Redondo, director of international carrier services for
 Telefonica Deutschland GmbH.  "By having a high-quality solution, we are
 confident we will create operational efficiencies and have detailed visibility
 throughout our organization.  This type of business intelligence is invaluable
 as we work to expand Telefonica Deutschland's international wholesale
 business.  We hope to broaden our partnership with Telarix within Telefonica
 International Wholesale Services."
     The traditional method of manually inputting routing and rate changes can
 take a carrier days or even weeks to compile and analyze the data.  iXTools
 streamlines the rate, dial code, and routing management processes.  In
 addition, it also provides a business intelligence and analytics platform that
 enables carriers to make better and timelier business decisions.
     "Our success is measured by our client's ability to improve its
 profitability," stated Amir Yazdanpanah, CEO for Telarix.  "Telefonica
 Deutschland looked to Telarix to provide a solution that allows them to
 analyze financial and interconnect data that will be crucial in managing their
 voice operations.  We are pleased we were able to quickly deliver a cutting-
 edge solution that will be a key element to their long-term success."
