National Carrier Continues to Realize Significant Cost Savings With RouteWatch(R) SAN DIEGO, Nov. 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- WFI (NASDAQ:WFII), a global leader in the design, deployment, and management of wireless communication networks, information technology solutions and security systems, announced today that it has signed an agreement with a national wireless carrier to continue providing call routing management services via RouteWatch(R). The carrier will extend the use of the RouteWatch technology with WFI and its partner, Connectiv Solutions, Inc., in a continued effort to reduce network expenses for this carrier's markets. The two-year contract extension is valued at approximately $1.2 million. RouteWatch is a comprehensive, top down solution incorporating both a web application and supporting services for identifying and quantifying variable network savings for network operators, a solution that is not easily provided with other tools. With a non-intrusive approach, RouteWatch can be deployed and scaled quickly to support the needs of different carriers or service providers to maximize their return on investment (ROI). RouteWatch has been instrumental in assisting carriers in managing and reducing their variable expenses, ranging from 12% to 18%, often equating to millions of dollars in savings. "The contract extension with this existing client is further validation of the tremendous value this solution is bringing to the wireless community," added Brian Silvestri, Vice President of Business Development for Connectiv Solutions. "Since developing this tool, we have been working with a number of carriers to identify potential savings opportunities and reduction in network expenses. The most innovative carriers have recognized the power of RouteWatch to assist them in reducing network expenses." "Today's announcement highlights the ongoing importance of the value-added solutions WFI provides in helping our customers achieve significant cost savings," said Eric DeMarco, president and CEO of WFI. "The WFI and Connectiv Solutions partnership continues to demonstrate the success of our best of breed software, tools and products partnership strategy, which we initiated earlier this year for the delivery of higher-value, differentiating offerings to our carrier customers." "Additionally, our strategic relationship with Connectiv Solutions is furthering our strategy of building recurring revenue and profit streams throughout each area of WFI business," DeMarco concluded.
