AsiaInfo to Upgrade China Mobile BOSS Systems in Henan and Jiangxi Provinces

­AsiaInfo Holdings has won a contract to upgrade Henan and Jiangxi Mobile's Business Operation Support Systems ("BOSS") to Next Generation Business Operation Support Systems ("NG-BOSS").

"Consistent with our previously stated goals, we are pleased to announce contract wins with Henan and Jiangxi Mobile, which brings the total number of provinces that we will upgrade from BOSS to NG-BOSS to 11," said Steve Zhang, AsiaInfo's president and chief executive officer.

"These 11 provinces give us approximately 33% market share of China Mobile's BOSS solutions, including one in Zhejiang and one in Henan province that each boasts a user-base of more than 45 million customers. In addition to these 11 upgrades which are a part of China Mobile's phase-I NG-BOSS rollout, we are currently developing the technical specifications for China Mobile's phase-II NG-BOSS system. With a strong foundation laid, I am confident that our experience growing alongside China Mobile will continue to transpire into sustainable, long-term growth opportunities."

The Company expects its phase-I NG-BOSS upgrades to be completed by the end of first quarter of 2010. Financial terms were not disclosed.
