Aricent ties up with Nepal Telecom

GURGAON, INDIA: Aricent, a provider of technology and services company, today announced that Nepal Telecom, has awarded the company a three year systems integration contract to provide convergent mediation and convergent interconnect billing solutions that enable a wide range of next-generation communication services.

Following on the heels of Aricent’s announcement of its Innovation Lab in support of systems integration for service providers, Aricent would act as the primary systems integrator for Convergent Mediation and Interconnect solutions, said a press release.

Aricent would integrate systems, which together enable next-generation product and service offerings for both pre-paid and post-paid customers.

In support of the agreement, Aricent would be implementing and integrating its Active Mediation System, in conjunction with Intec’s market-leading InterconnecT software.

The engagement also includes post-deployment managed services in support of the converged solution.

Nepal Telecom provides telecom services to its existing five million customers in a variety of networks such as Fixed, GSM, CDMA and Data. The company’s customer base is estimated to grow to over nine million subscribers in the next three years.

“As the leading telecom service provider in Nepal, we strive to bring the best experience to our customers,” said Amar Nath Singh, managing director of Nepal Telecom.

He added that they are confident that Aricent’s solution would allow them to create a unified mediation platform as well as a single interconnect system for their entire network.

“We are thrilled to partner with Nepal Telecom and help them deliver an innovative, scalable subscriber experience for their customers,” said Sanjay Dhawan, president and COO at Aricent.

He added that they have the privilege of working with some of the largest network operators in the world and we are pleased to add Nepal Telecom to their roster of service provider stars.

The broad compatibility of Aricent’s solution across different networks and systems will pioneer operational convergence within Nepal Telecom by enabling the operator to create a common, unified mediation platform and a single interconnect system for the entire network. The solution has the potential to reduce total cost of ownership and minimize revenue leakage, the release added.
