Tertio Telecoms and Inmarsat to provide 3G service via satellite
September 18, 2003
Tertio Telecoms, specialist in service provisioning and mediation for
the telecoms sector, has announced that it has been selected to provide
its systems to Inmarsat, a telecommunications satellite operator. In a
contract worth $1.5 million over 4 years, Inmarsat has bought Tertio’s
Provident Service Activation provisioning solution and its Evident convergent
mediation solution, to support the launch of the Broadband Global Area
Network (BGAN) due to be launched in early 2005.
Inmarsat BGAN will be the first 3G service via satellite and will provide
high-speed data access virtually anywhere in the world using a new constellation
of Inmarsat satellites. The precursor to this service called Regional
BGAN launched in November 2002 and provides GPRS-compatible services to
99 countries in Europe, Africa and the Middle East.
Danet, systems integrator and prime contractor for the Inmarsat BGAN
project, was already responsible for implementing the business support
system for Regional BGAN. Danet adopted a best of breed approach based
upon b.bridge, Danet’s EAI architecture to meet Inmarsat’s requirement
for the future- oriented integration of flexible packages from established
expert vendors. Tertio was chosen for its ability to demonstrate proven
support for 3G services, with its convergent, flexible & highly scaleable
solutions. It was also able to offer specialist consultancy and integration
services built on in depth knowledge and experience gained in the 3G environment.
Jean-Marie Fabry, Director of BSS Systems at Inmarsat Limited, said:
“Provisioning and mediation are critical, enabling us to create and measure
any new service offering. Our commitment to provide the first 3G services
across a mobile satellite network meant that we needed to first carry
out a thorough assessment of the proposed networks. Tertio offered us
a proven and scaleable solution, supported by exceptional customer references
from leading telecom operators.”
Provident Service Activation from Tertio is designed to enable operators
to provision next generation services quickly and cost effectively. Tertio’s
Provident provisioning solution has already proven its 3G capabilities
following its global implementation at 3 in 2002.
Nigel Clifford, CEO of Tertio commented, “Partnering with the market
leader in satellite technology is a unique opportunity to build on our
existing expertise in global 3G implementations. Tertio has already proved
its worth in the 3G provisioning space, supporting the successful roll-out
of Hutchison’s 3 service. Inmarsat is leading the way in the future of
next generation mobile technologies, and we look forward to being part
of this.”
