GO dials out legacy platform

MONTREAL: In a move to modernize its network, GO, Malta’s quadruple play operator, has chosen Blueslice Network’s CSP 3000,  Subscriber Data Management (eSDM) platform, to replace legacy Home Location Register systems, as well as to provide the necessary HSS, AAA and Subscriber Repository building blocks for GO’s converged services strategy.

Blueslice’s geo-redundant, carrier-grade subscriber-centric database architecture will be the base on which GO can migrate existing subscriber profiles, and later on can be leveraged to rapidly bring to market new applications, avoiding data silos and operational cost and complexity. The Subscriber Data Server’s flexible data schema and range of LDAP and XML/SOAP interfaces will enable subscriber consolidation across the Fixed and Mobile access networks., adds a release. 

“With the Blueslice SDM solution, GO will be able to deliver on its “converged services” business strategy to increase customer stickiness as well as to change the customer experience altogether,” said Joseph Bugeja, Chief Technical Officer, GO, “This project will be an essential part of GO’s wider strategic transition towards a converged business entity, with an integrated network, operating systems and processes.”

“GO is known worldwide as one the most innovative and forward-looking network operators. Like many others, they are faced with the issue of replacing legacy equipment in order to get their core network ready for personalized, subscriber-centric telecommunication services. We are pleased to be working with GO to revamp their Subscriber Data Management solution and support them in breaking subscriber data silos across all of their business lines”, said Leonard Scheepsma, VP Sales EMEA, Blueslice Networks
