Milton Keynes, UK -- Millenicom, Turkey's largest calling card and call
shop operator, has migrated its entire prepaid services portfolio onto
the DIGITALK Media Application Server (MAS), providing a full set of
turnkey value-added features and applications on the multiservice
platform.
Millenicom, a fully-owned subsidiary of Germany based European
Telecommunication Holding AG, adopted the DIGITALK MAS as part of its
strategy to migrate all its services to an IP-based solution and to
align its platform with its sister company in Germany, which has been
successfully using DIGITALK since 2003. The operator will also use the
DIGITALK platform to launch a range of new services, including a
web-based virtual calling card and a residential VoIP service, both
planned for launch in 2008.
The operator successfully completed deployment of the DIGITALK MAS in
July 2007 allowing it to replace its previously separate calling card
and call shop prepaid platforms with a single scalable, IP-based
solution. As well as reducing complexity, this implementation will
allow the company to exploit synergies by using the same platform
across all its subsidiaries.
"The DIGITALK Media Application Server was an integral part of our
strategy to migrate all our prepaid services over to an IP-based
platform," said Tugrul Cora, General Manager Millenicom Turkey. "Our
sister company in Germany has been using DIGITALK for five years so we
have seen first hand how robustly the platform has performed. We have
also been continuously impressed by the level and responsiveness of
DIGITALK's 24/7 customer support."
"We see Turkey as a key market poised for growth so we are very excited
to be working with Millenicom to support its IP-based prepaid
business," said Mark Ashdown, Sales and Marketing Director, DIGITALK.
"Our Media Application Server is one of the most successful IP-based
NGN platforms to incorporate a Turnkey Multi Service Concept. This deal
is further evidence that DIGITALK is the platform of choice for service
providers that are looking to rollout new IP-based services quickly and
easily."
