Sunrise Picks Comverse

NEW YORK -- Comverse, a unit of Comverse Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: CMVT - News), and the world's leading supplier of software and systems enabling network-based multimedia enhanced communication services, today announced that sunrise, the leading independent telecommunications provider in Switzerland, has implemented the Comverse InSight(TM) Open Services Environment.

The InSight Open Services Environment helps operators succeed in the competitive communications arena by enabling the rapid and cost-effective deployment of a wide variety of communication and content services from Comverse and third parties across all types of networks and devices. Operators can choose from a portfolio of ready-to-launch services including rich-media messaging, video applications, content solutions, call management, personalization and voice applications. The next-generation, open, IP-based architecture separates the application from the data, access, and OSS/BSS layers, enabling the use of shared components, increased modularity, and greater capacities - significantly reducing capital and operational costs.

"InSight supports our vision to provide our customers with an increasing range of personalized communication services on their preferred device, whether mobile, fixed or PC," said Kurt Luscher, COO Mobile at sunrise. "Proven deployments at operators around the world along with InSight's advanced next-generation architecture and technologies clinched our decision."

"We are pleased to welcome sunrise to the expanding group of operators who are moving to the InSight Open Services Environment," said Gadi Bahat, President of Comverse EMEA Division. "InSight's extensive and evolutionary roadmap is designed to meet the needs of today's operators."
