Acision and Accuris Networks Collaborate to Provide Alltel Wireless with Innovative, OPEX-reducing OTA Provisioning Solution

PLANO, Texas, July 26, 2011/PRNewswire/ --

   
         Acision Innovation Network partnership enables Alltel Wireless
  to automatically provision and update handsets and eliminate traditional
                  manual provisioning processes and costs

    Acision, a world leader in mobile data, in partnership with Accuris
Networks - a member of the Acision Innovation Network - will provide Alltel
Wireless with Accuris Networks' OTA (over the air) solution, to enable the
operator to deliver value added services to subscribers such as handset
activation and national and international roaming updates. Acision plays a
key role in integrating Accuris' platform with the operator network,
ensuring a smooth and flawless installation.

    Acision's deployment at Alltel Wireless, a provider of wireless services
to customers across six states in the U.S., will enable the carrier to use
Accuris Networks' OTA platform, AccuPROFILE(TM), to automatically activate,
update and reprogram all handsets in use in their network. This includes
updating Preferred Roaming Lists (PRL) to enable both national and
international roaming as well as enabling the prevention of handset cloning.

    This innovative approach enables operators like Alltel Wireless to
provision devices themselves, while addressing network coverage and
congestion challenges. This helps to reduce OPEX costs and handset
manufacturing provisioning fees, while saving time and money getting new
devices and services to market and improving the user experience.

    "Alltel Wireless is committed to delivering an exceptional customer
experience," said Ken Borner, Vice President of Engineering and Operations,
Alltel Wireless. "Acision and Accuris will provide technical resources that
facilitate provisioning, accelerate solution development and testing, and
enable other operational efficiencies for Alltel."

    "This Alltel Wireless deployment is validation of the power of the
Acision Innovation Network, which is designed to address the needs of
operators by aligning Acision's unmatched experience in mobile data services
with companies like Accuris Networks," said Claudia Grandjean, SVP and GM
for North America at Acision. "Through this partnership, Acision is able to
leverage Accuris Networks' expertise to enable Alltel Wireless to more
efficiently deliver services to subscribers, resulting in cost savings and
enhanced customer quality of experience."

    "The Acision Innovation Network provides Accuris Networks with a unique
opportunity to put our technology to work to meet the challenges facing
operators like Alltel Wireless," said David Reeder, Vice President Business
Development, Accuris Networks. "With Acision's support and cooperation,
Accuris Networks is making it possible for Alltel Wireless to realize the
full potential of the provisioning, roaming and updating capabilities that
provide subscribers with a reliable and enhanced user experience."
