Ulticom and Softeleware Team to Deliver Mobile Security Solution for KTF

Market Wire, October, 2005

Ulticom, Inc. (NASDAQ: ULCM), the premier provider of network signaling software solutions, today announced that Softeleware has deployed Ulticom's Signalware software in an Authentication Center (AuC) application at KTF, a leading mobile operator in South Korea. The Softeleware AuC application will provide KTF with rapid pre-call authentication for seamless roaming subscribers, as well as a fraud mitigation solution that will protect its network against false use due to lost, stolen or cloned handsets.

As mobile services become more widespread, operators bear the increasing costs associated with cloning fraud while having to provide subscribers with a private communications experience. To achieve these objectives, operators must deploy security solutions for authenticating mobile subscribers and encrypting voice and data sessions. The AuC application from Softeleware provides operators with a cost-effective means to conduct real-time verification of the mobile subscriber's identity before allowing secure access to their networks.

Softeleware and Ulticom have a long history of partnering together on mobility applications. For the AuC application, Softeleware leveraged the high performance platform features within Signalware 9 including dual support for both CDMA and GSM networks. The result is an extremely reliable and adaptable solution that can be deployed in multiple configurations to meet the varying needs of mobile operators around the world.

"Softeleware's AuC application, built using Ulticom Signalware, monitors usage patterns to identify and flag potential problems, saving operators such as KTF losses caused by fraudulent charges," said Youngsung Lee, sales and marketing vice president at Softeleware. "Signalware provided us with the comprehensive solution we needed to rapidly develop this application for KTF."

"In markets such as Korea where mobile phone usage is so widespread, preventing fraud is an important business concern," said Osman Duman, vice president of marketing at Ulticom. "We are happy to be Softeleware's chosen partner for this important application in a competitive market such as Korea."
