Roamware selected to deliver network-based traffic steering to the leading roaming hub

SAN JOSE, California, June 23, 2010 - Vodafone Roaming Services has selected Roamware Inc., a leading provider
of mobile roaming solutions, to provide its Network Traffic Redirection (NTR)
service as part of a wider managed traffic solution on Vodafone's roaming
hub. NTR, also known as 'traffic steering,' is an innovative solution that
enables mobile operators to proactively influence their outbound roamers'
choice of mobile network based on signalling information.

NTR enables operators to steer international traffic to partners with
higher quality of service and lower inter-operator tariffs (IOT) resulting in
optimum customer experience, lower costs for end-users and increased margins
and revenues for mobile carriers. "Customers are expecting the same quality
of service at home and abroad. Previously, operators had little or no control
over which network their customers connect to. With traffic redirection,
operators are able to steer traffic to a network that provides voice and data
services at a quality and price their customers demand," said Richard Grohol,
Executive Vice President, Worldwide Field Operations at Roamware.

Roamware's NTR will form the basis of Vodafone Roaming Services'
innovative modular steering solution. Vodafone's roaming hub members will be
able to deploy network-based steering, SIM-based steering, or a fully
integrated combination of both methods. The managed service will give hub
members unprecedented flexibility and success rates in directing traffic to
any of their roaming partners.

NTR, installed in over 200 networks globally, is one of many Roamware
patented innovations in roaming and provides the home operator with complete
control over its outbound roaming traffic through the use of a number of
flexible and configurable parameters. Subscriber profiles can be used to
drive the selection of the appropriate preferred network. For example,
prepaid and post-paid roamers may require different networks and
identification of GPRS, MMS or BlackBerry, which will result in redirection
to an operator that supports these services.
