TeleBarbados Implements Equinox Information Systems’ TeleLink Software
TeleLink joins with MetaSwitch to process usage records
Nashville-based Equinox Information Systems announced today that TeleBarbados installed the TeleLink mediation software system. The TeleLink solution integrates with nearly all switch types including the MetaSwitch Softswitch, which is the primary switch deployed in the TeleBarbados network.
“Equinox is a well-recognized software development firm in the communications industry,” noted Michael Lively, Network Engineering Manager of TeleBarbados. “The initial results from installing TeleLink are excellent with simplified billing processes and improved overall efficiency. We look forward to collaborating with Equinox on future software projects.”
TeleLink facilitates the delivery of usage records by filtering and converting data to the appropriate formats for operational support systems (OSS), such as billing, fraud detection, and network traffic analysis. For many communication providers, TeleLink replaces previously time-consuming manual processes with an automated process that is not only much faster, but also better ensures the integrity of usage data as it travels from switching platforms to billing and other downstream OSS processes.
“We are pleased that TeleBarbados has chosen to install TeleLink to process its usage and call detail records (CDRs). We look forward to a long and healthy customer relationship,” said David West, Equinox Executive Vice President.
