ComArch enables next-generation networks

POLAND -- ComArch has taken telecommunications forward with OSS and BSS solutions supporting the technology of the future -- EDGE and UMTS, and expanded the possibilities of implementing new types of services for customers. It has given new wide business opportunities for telecom operators and content providers as well. The ComArch TYTAN billing platform and InsightNet network management platform enables information and communication service providers to deploy, then effectively use 3G networks, and allow for the extension of their current functionalities within 2.5G networks.

The accounting of new type of UMTS services requires open and flexible billing systems to handle huge amount of data, new complex types of services and multiple service and content providers. The fully integrated TYTAN billing platform enables operators to develop new revenue streams, handle new services and share the revenue with whole chain of service providers. Its real-time capability allows full prepaid and postpaid convergence. The TYTAN data processing server (DPS), as the kernel of the platform, is an efficient rule-based rating engine, that has been benchmarked on major hardware platform to process the volume of data that UMTS will generate. TYTAN InterPartner billing component uses the DPS to respond to the new market requirements.

ComArch InsightNet service management gives the operators innovative tool for managing UMTS networks and monitoring QoS for current and unique UMTS services. The information about the continuity and the quality of the offered services has the essential value in the context of the revenues of the carrier. The monitoring of the network as well as the services and early detection of the potential problems allows the carrier to take measures aiming at minimising the revenue loss.

Another key component in InsightNet solution - InsightNet service level agreement is ready to facilitate the implementation of new types and class of services. Operator can see their network state from the business point of view. This approach is especially important in today's high-competitive market where the quality and price decides about the customer satisfaction and customer retention processes.

Christophe Debou, board member, business telecommunications unit, ComArch, said: "Our OSS and BSS systems handle the complexity and huge volumes of data connected with the NGNs and services. They enable fast introduction of new services to the market giving the competitive advantage for the carriers and content providers and taking out the real business value out of new technologies."
