Enables Wireless Operators to Consider Actual Call Location in Determining Tax Liability

Berkeley, California – September 1, 2010 - Newfield Wireless® announced today the availability of a new taxation feature set for its flagship network visualization software TrueCall®. Available in TrueCall 2.1, these features allow wireless operators to consider the call origination location in determining the applicable tax liability charged to the operator for each subscriber’s call.

“As wireless operators measure their costs related to delivering subscriber packages, they need to consider the regulatory burden of taxation per user event,” said Warren Dumanski, vice president of sales and marketing, Newfield Wireless. “With TrueCall, an operator is able to precisely determine the number of intrastate, interstate and international calls being made on its network and file appropriate taxes to their regulatory authority.”

The new taxation features are available to customers purchasing the Marketing and Regulatory Module of TrueCall. Users can review all calls (whether voice or data) in the system covering an entire market for more than one year and segment them based on the actual location of the mobile user originating or receiving the call. Furthermore, the taxation features enable identification of intrastate, interstate and international calls to apportion appropriate taxes.  While regulatory authorities such as the FCC have established taxation standards for wireless operators based on call disposition, historically wireless operators have had difficulty to prove the location of their subscriber for more favorable tax consideration – until now.

“A New York subscriber roaming in Los Angeles and calling a local phone number would be considered an interstate call in the past,” explains Dumanski. “With TrueCall’s proprietary geolocation capabilities and the new taxation features, an operator can pay taxes applicable for a local call versus an interstate one. Extend that example to millions of daily user events and operators can deliver a much more accurate tax remittance to their regulatory authority.”
