GSM Carrier XIT Wireless Selects Blueslice Next Generation Home Location Register (HLR) (en anglais)

Las Vegas, Nevada, April 6, 2006 - Blueslice Networks, the leading provider of next generation HLR/HSS solutions for Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) and mobile carriers, today announced that XIT Wireless, a subsidiary of XIT Rural Telephone Co-operative, Inc., has selected the Blueslice ngHLR 3000™ to position with the Alcatel Mobile NGN to deliver GSM services to XIT Wireless' customers.

The Blueslice next generation, feature-rich Home Location Register (HLR) provides industry-leading capacity and scalability and a footprint 10 times smaller than legacy equipment. Combined with the Alcatel Mobile NGN (Next Generation Network), the Blueslice ngHLR 3000™ generates dramatic CAPEX and OPEX savings and protects investments for the introduction of IMS.

"The combined solution is the most flexible full core network in the market and will generate significant savings."

"By moving towards a in-house managed network model and selecting the Blueslice and Alcatel solution, XIT Wireless will have a competitive advantage in the market and future-proof their network for the introduction of IMS and emerging wireless broadband access networks," said Stephan Ouaknine, President and CEO of Blueslice Networks.

The Blueslice ngHLR 3000™ is a commercially available, field-proven solution that has been selected and has been deployed or is currently being deployed by leading MVNOs and mobile carriers in North America and Europe.
