November 13, 2001

TSI Telecommunication Services Inc. (TSI) (www.tsiconnections.com), today announced that it will provide Hutchison Telecom (Hong Kong) with its GRX service, inpack(SM).

The solution offers a platform for Hutchison Telecom to connect its GPRS network with global GPRS network operators. The cooperation will enable the extension of Hutchison Telecom's GPRS roaming coverage and allow its users to enjoy highly convenient GPRS mobile data services globally.

As the GRX provider for all major North American GSM operators and now as a GRX provider in the Asia Pacific region, this contract with Hutchison Telecom makes TSI a leading worldwide GRX provider.

GRX is a centralized IP routing network that interconnects GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) networks and enables global roaming coverage directly or via other GRX networks. GPRS roaming is a requirement for making future global wireless Internet services possible.

"TSI's inpack solution will provide secure global connectivity between operators and other destinations such as portals, intranets and Internet service providers," said Paul Wilcock, vice president business development and strategy, TSI. "With our inpack solution, Hutchison Telecom's mobile data services' users will have seamless access to several new applications while they are roaming."

"Hutchison Telecom has been leading local roaming services by offering the territory's widest roaming coverage and partnering with the largest number of roaming partners. The partnership with TSI signifies our dedication to offer more comprehensive roaming services to our users by further extending the coverage of the convenient GPRS roaming service to the rest of the world.

"In the future, we will continue our efforts to offer extensive GPRS roaming service, bringing greater convenience and flexibility to our users with high-speed data transmission technology," said Stephen Ngan, deputy managing director and sales and marketing director, Hutchison Telecom.

TSI's inpack is part of a suite of mobile data solutions offered to wireless operators and content providers. TSI's Asia Pacific offering will include global packet network services, content management services, event management services and messaging management services.
