YOQNEAM, ISRAEL--(Marketwire - December 6, 2010) - MIND C.T.I. LTD. (NASDAQ: MNDO), a leading provider of convergent end-to-end billing and customer care product based solutions for service providers as well as telecom expense management (call accounting) solutions, today announced a major upgrade with an existing customer.

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a worldwide information security standard defined by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council. The standard was created to help payment card industry organizations that process card payments prevent credit card fraud through increased controls. The standard applies to all organizations that hold, process, or exchange cardholder information.

The carriers that use credit cards as a method of payment are included in the e-commerce vendors category and should be certified for PCI DSS and as part of PCI compliance must also meet the Payment Application Data Security Standard (PA-DSS) requirement for their transaction applications. MIND's solution includes full payment capabilities and thus must be PA-DSS validated.

Compliance with PCI and PA-DSS may help our customers grow their business since their subscribers can use credit cards without any hesitation as it becomes totally secure.

MIND supplies a unique fully convergent billing and customer care platform that incorporates the benefit of an integral comprehensive point-of-sale solution. Developed by MIND, after years of intimate understanding of carrier needs, our PoS (point-of-sale) module is aimed at the wireless retail market as it enables operators to offer their products and services in retail stores. It manages the sale process and inventory within our enhanced solutions that covers all dealer, store and cashier management needs. MIND PoS operates as part of our full B&CC platform or as an add-on to any other solution used by the carrier. 

The major upgrade is with an existing US customer, a regional mobile operator that deployed our postpaid billing solution in 2006 and implemented our prepaid IN during 2009. MIND Prepaid IN supports all versions of commercially used IN protocols and it scales from a few thousands to millions of prepaid subscribers. The current enhancement includes replacement of their existing PoS with our PoS application and also an upgrade to the latest version of our billing platform that will be deployed PA-DSS validated, enabling the carrier to obtain PCI compliance.

Monica Iancu, Chairperson and CEO, commented: "We are extremely grateful for the relationship we built with this successful carrier, a real partnership built on mutual respect and that benefits both parties. Our strategy has been for many years now to increase the new business average deal size, to build strong long-term relationships with our customers, to provide the best customer service and to continuously develop new modules that enhance our offering."
