Press Release Summary: Astellia is extending its activities in South America.

Press Release Body: Since beginning of 2008, Astellia has won two main new Customers
in this area: one in Chile and one in Colombia.

A large Operator in Chile appointed Astellia earlier this year to audit its GSM and
UMTS (3G) network.
The Astellia solution is compatible and complements the Operator’s internal tools.
It gives the operational optimization team a complete picture of customers’
behaviour and of the network QoS.
Our Customer mainly appreciates the fact that a single non-intrusive and
vendor-independent solution provides roaming statistics and information per handset
type. With it, he can monitor the core and the access network alike.

Astellia has been contracted by another tier one Operator in Colombia to perform an
audit of its GSM network. The Operator wishes to benchmark and check the behaviour
of its network after a swap to a new equipment manufacturer due to NGN migration.
After giving a snapshot of the network and delivering a detailed troubleshooting
report, Astellia makes recommendations on how to further optimise and improve
network performance.

Astellia will soon be participating in 2 exhibitions in South America. Meet our
experts there! Please mark your calendars:
- AmericasCom - 9-10 September 2008 - Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
- FutureCom - 27-30 October 2008 – Sao Paulo, Brazil
