Intec and Ericsson China sign strategic billing agreement with China Unicom

April 8, 2004: London - Intec Telecom Systems, a global provider of Operations Support Systems (OSS) for fixed, wireless and IP/next generation networks, and telecoms giant Ericsson China are pleased to announce they have signed a billing software agreement with China Unicom, the second largest wireless communications provider in the country. Under the terms of the contract Intec will supply China Unicom with InterconnecT, a billing solution which will simplify the company's settlements operations among its growing number of fixed and wireless partners. Ericsson China will be responsible for the implementation and support of Intec's system and will provide China Unicom with maintenance services and development to support new network elements and products offerings.

InterconnecT offers China Unicom the ability to adapt to a changing interconnect market by handling all types of rating schemes across different networks. The solution simplifies billing and reconciliation as well as reduces costs and increases interconnect revenue. This is achieved with the help of many advanced features, including sophisticated discounting, optimised routing, and automated reconciliation.

"We are delighted that Intec is able to provide the capabilities for China Unicom to support all the aspects of its interconnection activities," said John Rocca, Intec's Director in Asia-Pacific. "With InterconnecT, China Unicom will be able to accurately charge other inter-exchange and local exchange fixed and mobile carriers for using its facilities and to automatically reconcile its own invoices with their incoming bills. The solution will also provide superior scalability to deal with China Unicom's growing volume of calls while minimising operational overhead in settling with other carriers."
