Intec wins second deal with Taiwan's 3G operator APBW for
InterconnecT solution
London/Taipei, June3rd 2003: Intec Telecom Systems has signed a second deal with
Taiwan-based 3G operator Asia Pacific Broadband Wireless Communications (APBW)
to supply its world leading settlement solution InterconnecTTM. Intec's solution
will be installed alongside Intec's Inter-mediatETM convergent mediation
solution, which APBW purchased last month. InterconnecT, the world's leading
interconnect billing solution, will meet the complex 3G requirements of APBW by
offering support for interconnect bill settlement with other telecommunications
operators for voice, data, content and other services as well as prepaid and
postpaid business models. APBW plans to launch the first CDMA2000 commercial
service in the country this year, in the 800MHz frequency band that was awarded
in the recent Taiwan 3G spectrum auction.
"InterconnecT offers APBW a customisable solution with the sort of flexible
usage collection, processing and settlement capabilities that a 3G operator with
multiple, complex services will require," says John Rocca, Intec's director for
Asia-Pacific. "InterconnecT will easily manage APBW's business needs and network
traffic levels, delivering the highest quality of information to the operator
and maximising the revenue potential from its next-generation services."
Commenting on the deal, Kevin Adams, Intec's CEO said: "Intec is pleased to have
signed another contract with APBW, Taiwan's newest mobile operator. This
agreement further establishes InterconnecT as the primary settlements platforms
in the next generation OSS market, and increases our presence in Asia-Pacific.
As mobile communications evolves, new technologies will provide mobile operators
with different products and services. Intec's solution will ensure that APBW is
at the forefront of these technological changes by providing the scalability to
manage increasing call traffic and the flexibility to support next generation
service products."
