MetraTech Provides Swisscom Eurospot with Next Generation Billing and Commissioning Solution for Wi-Fi services

London, April 21, 2004— MetraTech®, a leading provider of Web Services-based billing, customer self-care, and partner management solutions, today announced that Swisscom Eurospot, Europe’s leading provider of high speed broadband Internet access for business travelers, has deployed MetraNet™ to provide a billing and commissioning solution to facilitate their rapidly expanding number of hotspots.

As the largest, international WLAN network in Europe with hotspots in the United Kingdom, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Spain, Italy and Portugal, Swisscom Eurospot was looking for a solution that addressed key challenges including sophisticated commissioning schemes, multiple language and currency support, reporting and analysis tools. Deployed in just eight weeks, MetraNet was seamlessly integrated with Swisscom Eurospot’s existing systems and has been calculating commissions for Swisscom Eurospot hotspots throughout Europe since Q4 last year.

“We are very pleased Swisscom Eurospot has selected MetraNet as its billing and commissioning solution,” said Scott Swartz, president and CEO of MetraTech Corp. “Our Web Services-based platform was designed to enable service providers to quickly deploy compelling new business models.”
