We also offer integrated value-added features to enable our customers to increase ARPU and retention. Our solutions include core as well as radio access network infrastructure, supported by state-of-the-art professional services.

Trends in Worldwide Communications

• The worldwide number of mobile subscribers will cross the 3 billion mark in 2007-2008, closing in on the number of wireline subscribers.
• For GSM alone, while it took 12 years to establish the first billion subscribers, it took less than a quarter of that time to add the next billion.
• In the U.S.A., the number of mobile phone-only households surpasses the number of wireline-only households, indicating that we have entered an era when wireless is more than just an adjunct to wire line communications.
• Rural environments are increasingly turning to wireless solutions as a cost-effective alternative for communications.
• Outside of social communication, the next biggest driver for wireless communications is safety and security.

Technology Vision

Tecore’s technology vision is based on two fundamental and revolutionary trends in communications. First, IP has proven to be the most robust and flexible platform for building and managing scalable networks, dynamically providing new types and levels of services. Second, wireless communication is the medium of choice worldwide for users demanding anytime-anywhere services and operators striving to further telecommunications access into regions not covered today.

Our IP-based core and access products have allowed an unprecedented level of functionality, including:

• supporting multiple technologies including GSM, CDMA, 2.5/3G data and VoIP in a single network;
• integrating multiple network components and value-added features in a single chassis; and
• delivering innovative new services such as Over-the-Air Prepaid Roaming, an award-winning offering enabling operators to capture roaming revenue directly from network visitors without the need for a roaming agreement.

The industry has recognized the value of an IP architecture for next-generation mobile services, now known as IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS). Tecore has incorporated IMS into its portfolio as well, thus allowing a powerful bridge between current and future services.
