Reliance Infocom selects Comverse to enable prepaid services for
its CDMA2000 network
December 23, 2002
Comverse, a unit of Comverse Technology, supplier of network-based
multimedia enhanced communications services, today announced that
Reliance Infocom has selected Comverse to enable prepaid and voicemail
services for its CDMA2000 wireless local loop (WLL) wireless communications
network in India.
Comverse's modular, technology-independent prepaid solution offers
scalability to support millions of subscribers and seamlessly integrates
into networks composed of multi-vendor switches implementing CDMA/TDMA/GSM
technologies, separately or in mixed environments. Additionally,
Comverse offers a rich set of service features adaptable to virtually
any signaling environment, whether it is intelligent network (IN)
or pre-IN based.
"Comverse is pleased to be joining the select circle of Reliance
partners who are working to provide advanced communications throughout
India," said Pushpendra Mankad, General Manager, Comverse India.
"We are confident that our proven voicemail and prepaid service
platforms will play a vital role in helping Reliance realize its
vision for India. We believe this contract is the beginning of a
long-term relationship that will contribute to Reliance's success
in bringing world-class voicemail and real-time prepaid solutions
to market."
"Reliance Infocom selected Comverse after a long and rigorous technical
examination of its voicemail and prepaid platforms, as well as the
business benefits that the solution offers. We put the Comverse
solutions through their paces, and they came up a winner on all
counts," said J. Thacker, Vice President of Procurement for Reliance
Infocom. "We greatly value Comverse's local presence and experience
in India, which is of critical importance in understanding and dealing
with our vast and diverse markets."
The CDMA-compliant Comverse prepaid system will be deployed in
India, supporting an initial 900,000 subscribers. This system is
expected to grow across India and has the potential to be one of
the largest prepaid deployments in the world, offering real-time
control of calls. The Comverse prepaid system, which can be configured
to run in all major wireless network environments, will support
the IS-826 IN standard in the Reliance Infocom network. Reliance
plans to utilize the flexibility of the Comverse prepaid system
to offer a variety of different features and services in each market
such as distance-based charging, concurrent tariffing schemes and
VPN capabilities.
