Inmarsat Picks ADC Billing System

MINNEAPOLIS and LONDON -- ADC (NASDAQ: ADCT; www.adc.com ) announced today that Inmarsat Limited will install ADC's Singl.eView* dynamic transaction management software for its new Broadband Global Area Network (BGAN) service, which follows the successful Singl.eView installation for Inmarsat's current Regional BGAN service. Based in London, Inmarsat provides voice and multimedia mobile communications services through its nine geostationary satellites to users involved in ground, air and sea transportation; communications; health care; local and national government; and international peacekeeping.

Inmarsat is currently using Singl.eView for rating and billing for its Regional BGAN service, which offers high speed data connectivity in 99 countries via a secure, shared 144kbit/s channel. In addition to rating and billing, Inmarsat is using Singl.eView to manage customer hierarchies.

"We're pleased with Singl.eView's performance and reliability for our Regional BGAN service, and based on our experience it makes a great deal of sense to implement Singl.eView for our new BGAN service," said Jean-Marie Fabry, director of Business Support Systems for Inmarsat. "We have an ever-growing portfolio of mobile satellite solutions serving some the world's most dynamic companies and organizations, and we plan to offer our new BGAN services in 2005. By standardizing on Singl.eView for our BGAN and Regional BGAN services, we'll set in place a platform that will support our future business needs."

"Inmarsat's global anytime, anywhere, no-matter-how-remote approach to communications is an exciting convergence of voice, data and satellite technologies," said Rudi Baumann, vice president of Software Systems Business Unit for ADC. "They're continually investing in and evolving their services to meet some extremely challenging telecommunication demands, delivering services to businesses and individuals who might not otherwise be able to access a terrestrial network. We're pleased to be a part of their efforts."

Singl.eView is a single application framework for real-time revenue, transaction, billing and service management, regardless of business model or service type. It measures and monetizes any combination of service, asset or resource, and has a proven performance, scalability and reliability record from its origins in the telecommunications market.
