Seven Interconnect deals won in six months from MEA and CALA firms

Subex Limited announced today that it landed seven deals for its interconnect offerings in the Middle-East (MEA) and Central and Latin America (CALA) markets in the past six months. This is an absolute indication of increased adoption of the firm’s interconnect solutions in these regions.

The significant increase for interconnect solutions is a result of increased competition in these regions. Interconnect agreements are critical to operators as they generate a significant portion of revenues. The need for a more focused solution, targeted at providing the best service to subscribers has made operators opt for Interconnect solutions. Also, deregulation, which refers to operators being allowed to have multiple agreements in these markets, plays a crucial factor as operators are free to pursue new interconnect partners and new entrants in the market.

The 2007 study by Analysys Research entitled Global Operator Attitudes to Revenue Management Survey clearly showed that a third of the revenues lost by a telco pertain to interconnect related matters. This is a high risk for any telco, considering that interconnect is more profitable and significantly contributes to revenues.

Sudeesh Yezhuvath, COO, Subex Ltd., said, “Service providers are looking at ways in which they can increase their revenues and decrease their costs to manage interconnect agreements more closely. By looking at rates across current and potential partners, operators can manage their network more efficiently to drive down costs by using the lowest cost operator to route calls through a given variety of factors, such as time of day, day of week, destination and quality etc.”

Vinod Kumar, President RMS BU, Subex Ltd, said, “The recent interconnect deals we have won are a clear indication of operators taking cognizance of the significance of interconnect solutions, to provide faster and better services to subscribers and ultimately earn better revenues, through reduced costs.”
