Achieves Top 10 Ranking for Second Consecutive Year
LHS Group Inc. (NASDAQ: LHSG)(Neuer Markt: LHI) today announced that its subsidiary LHS Priority Call was ranked no. 10 in the New England Technology Fast 50. The Fast 50 program, sponsored by Deloitte & Touche LLP and Hale and Dorr LLP, recognizes the fastest-growing technology companies in the region.

"Our commitment to creating innovative applications for next generation networks has resulted in continued record growth for the company," said Andrew Ory, founder of LHS Priority Call. "Recognition for the second year in the Fast 50 program is an honor shared by all our dedicated employees."
The award-winning ORYX platform is designed for service providers seeking an open platform that will provide the flexibility, scalability, and reliability for the rapid delivery of new services to subscribers.
