Tango Telecom has today announced the availability of Parlay Gateway functionality in its Prepaid Charging solution.

We believe that the Parlay standards represent a very significant advance towards the goal of cost effective, rapid
and open deployment of a very diverse range of new services in mobile networks. We are committed to providing the
benefits of this technology to our customers, enabling them to differentiate their services from their competitors
while increasing the cost effectiveness of their operations" said David Gunning, VP of Sales and Marketing with Tango
Telecom.    

The Tango solution provides a Parlay compliant interface to existing cellular Prepaid solutions, enabling third party
applications to charge in real time for a variety of value added services, thereby removing any potential for fraud
and maximising the operators revenue potential. The product also includes sophisticated rating capabilities,
allowing operators much greater creativity in marketing SMS, GPRS and content based services and in targeting the
needs of specific
market segments.

We see this a as a key step towards aligning our product portfolio with the Parlay standards" said Colm Ward, CEO
and co-founder of Tango Telecom. In particular, the ability of third party content and service providers to
charge Prepaid subscribers in real time is critical to the achievement of a wide range of content based services
which will drive usage of GPRS into the large Prepaid installed base in the coming years".
