The partnership deal enables the leading French operator to create a centralised InterconnecT bureau service in France which can support the intercarrier billing requirements for any of its Orange subsidiaries around the world. The latest country to become part of this complex settlement initiative is Côte d'Ivoire. Over one million call detail records (CDRs) are sent from Orange's operations in the West African country to France Telecom's central bureau in France, which relies on local service hardware to support Intec's InterconnecT solution. The CDR information received from Orange's Cote d'Ivoire operation is gathered by the French central bureau and then used to produce accurate intercarrier billing settlements for the African affiliate. 

"The numerous opportunities France Telecom provides to increase InterconnecT's installed base creates a dynamic and exciting partnership for Intec," says Kevin Adams, Intec's CEO. "As part of a global co-operative agreement signed with Intec in 2000, France Telecom promotes and supports InterconnecT among its subsidiary companies. An amendment to the agreement in 2003 has helped to integrate the billing operations of France Telecom's Orange subsidiaries worldwide, while generating new market opportunities for Intec's core product, particularly in African countries such as Reunion Island, Madagascar, and now Côte d'Ivoire."

France Telecom operates InterconnecT service for Orange mobile subsidiaries

Orange Côte d'Ivoire latest mobile operator to benefit from service
 
March 30th, 2004: Intec Telecom Systems, a global provider of operations support systems (OSS) for fixed, wireless, and next generation/IP networks, today announced that the mobile operator Orange has gone live with Intec's InterconnecT(tm) solution in the west African country of Côte d'Ivoire. The successful implementation of Intec's intercarrier billing system was made possible by an extended global partnership agreement with France Telecom. 

Explains Christian Ciupek, Intec's Regional Director, "African operators are losing substantial revenue streams as a result of poor network infrastructures - there may be a difficult future for many of these businesses in a few years time if this level of loss continues. The companies that are now making the decisions to invest in reliable interconnect systems such as Intec's InterconnecT are the ones who will quickly overcome their intercarrier billing challenges and eventually dominate the market in a few years time. This includes France Telecoms' Orange affiliate in Côte d'Ivoire, which will immediately benefit from InterconnecT's flexibility and scalability in handling regional and international settlements."
