BARCELONA -- Tekelec (NASDAQ: TKLC), a leading developer of high-performance network applications for next-generation fixed, mobile and packet networks, today announced that its EAGLE® 5 Integrated Signaling System (ISS) capabilities, triggerless ISUP-based number portability (TINP) solution and INAP-based number portability (INP) solution will enable operator Pakistan Telecommunication Corporation Limited (PTCL) to implement inter-carrier mobile number portability. The Tekelec solution also will allow PTCL to support number portability for fixed-line subscribers when mandated by the government. PTCL is the largest telecom service provider in Pakistan, serving 5.5 million fixed-line subscribers across the region. PTCL expects subscribers to double over the next two years.

Under the mobile cellular policy announced by the government of Pakistan, PTCL is required to facilitate mobile number portability (MNP), which allows mobile subscribers to switch between cellular phone companies without changing their original number. The deadline for implementing MNP in Pakistan is in March 2007.
