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."
