ICON-X Solutions Secures Tele2 Russia During Trade Mission to Moscow
Irish interconnect vendor, i-conX Solutions, has announced that GSM operator Tele2 Russia is the latest telco to implement its wholesale billing solution.
Tele2 selected the licensed i-conX solution as part of a project to replace its existing system. The contract was formalised during a recent Irish Government Trade Mission to Moscow, organised by the Irish enterprise development agency, Enterprise Ireland (EI), and led by Ireland’s Minister for Trade and Commerce, Mr. Billy Kelleher T.D.
The Tele2 deal – details of which are still to be confirmed ¬¬- follows a spate of successful i-conX contract wins worth a combined €2.3m. During another EI Trade Mission to the UAE in November 2008, i-conX secured a €1.3m deal with Palestinian telco Paltel and Iraqi operator Newroz. The technology company has also just announced an open-ended contract with Belgium’s BASE Telecom.
The i-conX system allows telcos to bill, reconcile and maximise the margins of their wholesale and interconnect business and is specially designed to cater for complex rating rules and all known traffic types, including content.
Russia’s telecommunications market is heavily regulated with strict licence separation with regards to international, national, regional and local traffic, and regional spectrum (mobile) licenses. Tele2 Russia holds licenses in 20 regions, across 11 separate time zones and so required a solution with the capacity to cope with the proliferation of complex interconnect scenarios that could arise from the interaction between the Country’s carrier levels.
As well as the flexibility to work around these types of regional anomalies, the i-conX solution delivers the functionality to manage billing requirements within global corporations involving numerous subsidiaries or legal entities. This means that telco groups can manage billing operations centrally at both an individual and group wide level. In addition, i-conX’s reporting tools allow real-time visibility of interconnect transactions across a wide variety of business units.
