NEW YORK--(Business Wire)--
Connectiva Systems, Inc., a leading provider of revenue and risk management
solutions, today announced that it has been selected by YTL Communications Sdn
Bhd, the communications arm of the Malaysian based conglomerate, YTL Corporation
Berhad, to implement Connectiva AFFIRM and manage its revenue assurance
processes. 

Built on an open standard based analytics framework, Connectiva AFFIRM will
enable YTL Communications to identify, correct and prevent leakage across its
entire revenue chain including its BSS and OSS components. YTL Communications is
currently deploying the world`s first nationwide 4G network, having been awarded
a license for a WiMAX 2.3 GHz wireless broadband access spectrum by the
Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC). In addition,
Connectiva will provide re-rating and re-billing services to support this
network. 

"The need for strong revenue assurance solutions has become increasingly
important as we gear ourselves for the commercial launch of our nationwide 4G
service later this year," said Lee Nyit Toong, the CFO of YTL Communications.
"The appointment of Connectiva portrays our firm commitment to continue working
with best-in-class partners in our 4G network deployment. We are pleased to
partner with Connectiva and look forward to future success," added Mr. Toong. 

"We are delighted that YTL Communications has selected Connectiva to provide the
highest quality revenue assurance solutions and to support the expansion of its
4G network," said Avi Basu, CEO of Connectiva Systems. "WiMAX usage in the
Asia-Pacific region alone is expected to increase at a compound annual growth
rate of 102 percent between 2009 and 2015.[1] The market potential combined with
YTL Communications` nationwide 4G network present an excellent opportunity for
both companies." 

Tech Mahindra, a global systems integrator and technology solutions provider to
the telecom industry, and Cisco Systems, Inc., the worldwide leader in
networking for the Internet, will act as the suppliers for the BSS and OSS
components of the implementation.
