- First major Interconnect business deal in Taiwan since the liberalisation of the market
- Precursor to future business deals as company prepares for IP and 3G services
- Raises Intec Profile in Asia
September 4, 2001 London - Intec Telecom Systems, a world leader in operational support systems (OSS) for telecom companies, today announced that Eastern Broadband Telecom (EBT), Taiwan's first private fixed network
telecommunications operator, has selected its InterconnecT™ software solution to support the company’s rapid delivery of value-added, revenue-generating services through intercarrier billing. As part of the lucrative deal, Intec will provide the project management and systems integration expertise to facilitate the in-service launch of the InterconnecT solution.
“Interconnect will enable us to increase network capacity without having to worry about the loss of vital call traffic information ", says James Jeng, Executive Vice President of EBT. “Accurate intercarrier billing solutions will provide a fundamental source of revenue assurance and a solid backup for our network planning and development as we expand the business to include IP and 3G services.”
As the world’s leading domestic and international intercarrier and settlement system, InterconnecT will offer EBT a sophisticated solution that can be tailored
to meet its changing business needs. Following the liberalisation of Taiwan’s telecommunications market, the competition among carriers and the demand for new customers has grown steadily, encouraging companies such as EBT to prepare for the roll out of the latest services, including IP telephony, Internet access and next generation networks. InterconnecT has the flexibility to support EBT’s new product introductions and the scalability to handle the increase of traffic volume that will occur with the convergence of new services.
“Taiwan’s telecommunications industry is changing rapidly”, said John Rocca, Intec’s Regional Director. “To survive in the new liberalized environment
companies must have cost-effective strategies to secure a majority market share. InterconnecT will provide EBT with a competitive edge by maximizing intercarrier revenue and facilitating the roll out of new, value-added business services for its customers.”
