Boston, USA and Woerden, Netherlands – February 11, 2008 – XIUS-bcgi, a leader in delivering innovative, revenue-generating solutions for mobile operators and MVNOs worldwide, today announced an agreement under which ASPIDER Solutions, a leading European MVNE, will deploy the XIUS-bcgi Mobile Services Platform to power the growth of their MVNE operations, including the recently announced wholesale deal with Vodafone Malta. More deals across Europe and the US will be announced by ASPIDER Solutions in the coming months.

Using XIUS-bcgi’s Mobile Services Platform, ASPIDER Solutions can offer MVNOs a powerful service-oriented platform that supports rapid deployment and management of applications that seamlessly integrate with existing infrastructure and third-party solutions.”
Upendra Bhatt, vice president of sales for XIUS-bcgi, added, “This partnership is particularly strategic for XIUS-bcgi as it expands our global reach into the European marketplace -- a key area of emphasis for our company.”
According to Luis Carrera, managing director of ASPIDER Solutions International. “We look forward to working with XIUS-bcgi and leveraging their knowledge and experience in the areas of innovative network infrastructure and BSS. XIUS-bcgi has developed comprehensive plug-and-play components that will greatly enhance our ability to roll out innovative MVNE services that meet the changing needs of subscribers. The deal with XIUS-bcgi strengthens our position as a leading MVNO Enabler that offers one-stop-MVNO and wholesale solutions for both MVNOs and MNOs irrespective of country borders.
Luis Carrera continued, “This deployment supports our customer growth throughout Europe and the US, and is an integral component in our partnerships with leading Mobile Network Operators and MVNOs. The infrastructure supporting our MVNO solutions must be reliable, flexible and scalable, and XIUS-bcgi technology is a natural fit. We chose this solution to enhance our speed to market and for its unique ability to provide flexibility in pricing, branding and service management across multiple countries.
Both parties expect the global MVNO market to develop in much the same way as other regions including the Benelux, Scandinavia and the UK.
