For mobile.

Reduce call dropping.

Reduce churn.The smartphone explosion continues. Mobile data traffic has been growing

threefold and mobile video will soon eclipse all other types of traffic. So even

basic voice calls put a strain on your already-stretched network resources.

More calls are being dropped and the risk of churn increases.

Even with higher-bandwidth 4G networks, capacity is finite and there comes

a point where you can only optimise what is there.

Thats where Horizon can help. By making better use of the bandwidth available

and minimising the volume of data consumed. Helping you to reduce call

dropping. And ultimately churn.

With the worlds most bandwidth-efficientVoIP platform.Horizon is the worlds most bandwidth-efficient VoIP platform. By using our

SmartPacket technology, it enables mobile VoIP from only 2kbps compared

to around 8kbps from other mobile VoIP services today.

This industry-leading solution has been totally developed in-house and is fully

compatible with digital telecommunications standards. It operates over GPRS,

EDGE, 3G, 4G/LTE, WiFi and WiMax and is capable of interconnecting any

phone system over IP on mobile, fixed and satellite networks.

We are certified for ISO 9001 and ISO 20000-1, underlining our commitment

to both quality and innovation.

Sounds of silence.Our SmartPacket technology enables greater bandwidth

efficiency by reducing IP overhead and optimising packet

flow, delivery and playback.

Its also extremely efficient in the way it handles silence.

Traditional VoIP calls send the same amount of data in both

directions, regardless of whether someone is speaking or not.

Horizon is designed to detect silence and send heartbeats

instead of data, so you know the line hasnt been dropped.

And those heartbeats get sent at only 0.25kbps.

Enabling

competitive advantage.Maintain network availability.Horizon uses wireless bandwidth much more efficiently than any

other mobile VoIP app. This helps you manage competing demands

for network resource more effectively, maintain network availability

and reduce the level of dropped calls.

Offer more competitive tariffs.Horizon gives you the potential to offer more competitive tariffs, such

as free VoIP-to-VoIP calls, reduced rates for VoIP to PSTN and other

mobiles or lower international roaming rates. You decide strategically

how to offer it commercially to encourage customer base growth and

on-going customer loyalty.

Give the user more control.As mobile data networks become more congested and monthly

allowances more restrictive, users will become increasingly conscious

of the burn rate of different apps. Horizon is uniquely designed to

give the user more control over the volume of data they consume.

Customise to your brand.Unlike any other mobile VoIP app, Horizon can be customised with

your branding to become part of your portfolio as one of your own

value-adds to encourage customer loyalty.

Retain PSTN revenue.Unlike other mobile VoIP apps, Horizon enables you to control

call routing for PSTN termination of outbound mobile VoIP calls.

You can also assign local mobile number ranges for Horizon DirectInward Dial to the smartphone, thereby retaining a greater share of

revenue from inbound PSTN calls to your network.


5/12

Your mobile VoIP app.

Just as fixed operators have seen internet telephony take a

significant share of call revenues, mobile operators now face

the same threat from mobile VoIP apps. These apps are also

bandwidth-hungry.

Horizon is different because its a mobile VoIP solution that

you own and deploy. And it also helps you manage rising

traffic volumes. You decide strategically how to integrate it

within your portfolio. You decide how to offer it commercially.

And you control the call routing to retain PSTN revenues.

Mobile Apps.Horizon CallThe Horizon Call app enables highly bandwidth-

efficient VoIP calls over a smartphone using

a GPRS, EDGE, 3G, 4G/LTE, WiFi or WiMax

connection. It is currently available for iPhone

and Android.

It has a simple, familiar interface so the user

makes a call just as they normally would, but

with the added feature of allowing them to

choose from three different levels of call quality

for optimal cost/quality control:

Level 1 2.15kbps

Level 2 3.75kbps

Level 3 5.75kbps

(Bandwidth required for both talking and listening.

IP headers are excluded at all levels.)

The user has the option of setting their preferred

quality level as a default, or dynamically changing

it before or even during each call.

A data counter keeps the user fully informed of

how much theyre consuming as they talk either

as an increasing number of kilobytes for pay-monthly

subscribers or as a reducing number of units for

pay-as-you-go subscribers.

The app includes all the standard call features:

Recents missed, dialled and received calls

Voicemail send and receive

Contacts uses smartphones central

Outgoing calls.On-net calls from one Horizon number to another

VoIP-to-VoIP calls which enable considerable cost

savings as Horizon optimises IP bandwidth much

more efficiently than other mobile VoIP services.

Off-net calls from a Horizon number to landlines

and mobiles.

Incoming calls.Two-stage dialling for calls from landlines or

mobiles to a Horizon number where the caller

dials a local PSTN number and a PIN to access the

Horizon network and then dials the Horizon number

they wish to reach.

Alternatively, the caller can dial a local PSTN

number and then a Horizon Alias number, where

calls are routed to the destination without the need

to dial a PIN first.

Direct Inward Dial numbers are also available

where off-net callers can dial a local PSTN number

which routes directly to a Horizon number without

the need to enter a PIN or Alias number first.

Operations

on the Horizon network.Billing.With fully-audited Call Data Records for both voice

and data services, the Horizon system supports

pay-monthly and pay-as-you-go billing and we

provide full integration with your own systems.

Legal interception.Horizon supports all regulatory requirements

for legal interception in those territories where

it is mandatory.

Support.Horizon Globex uses ITIL V3-compliant

IPM (Incident, Problem, Management)processes to capture and manage all

network incidents.

We guide you through your own

specific implementation of Horizon

from training individual users

to working with a full project

management team overseeing

the implementation of a Global

Exchange with your infrastructure

and billing integration.

The Horizon portfolio:

a flexible, scalable solution.Horizon is a complete end-to-end solution for mobile

network operators and service providers. Besides

smartphones, it also enables low-bandwidth VoIP based

on SmartPacket technology via PCs, analogue and digital

fixed phones. This extends into a range of optimised data

applications. We provide all the necessary elements andoptions for you to build and operate your own Horizon

network or we can host the service on your behalf.

Horizon Global ExchangeThe Horizon Global Exchange is essentially the core

network of the system. It authenticates, routes and

manages all calls over the network.

It maintains a secure database of all products and

services connecting to it, and generates highly-

detailed Call Data Records for seamless integration

into your billing system.

Running on industry-standard servers, the Global

Exchange is easy to maintain and caters for

business resilience and redundancy.

Horizon VoIP SwitchA standard-size rack-mountable server that can

PBXs onto the Horizon network to take advantage

of low-bandwidth VoIP.

PRI-PSTN mode enables call routing from the

Horizon network onto the PSTN.

The Horizon VoIP Switch can handle multiple

call-routing combinations, including calls from

Horizon-enabled smartphones to the PSTN; calls

from the PSTN to Horizon-enabled smartphones via

Direct Inward Dial; and calls from digital phones to

Horizon-enabled smartphones.
