Seeker Wireless and HP Facilitate Virtual Fixed-line Services with Fixed Mobile Substitution

By Niladri Sekhar Nath, TMCnet Contributing Editor

Mobile phone operators are increasingly opting for Fixed Mobile Substitution (FMS) solution developed by zone detection technology provider Seeker Wireless and HP to deliver virtual fixed-line services via mobile phones in Eastern Europe.
 
The solution is designed to eliminate the need for cables and outlets in the wall so that subscribers benefit from fast and easy access to telephone services, which also include a range of value added services such as SMS.
 
SeekerZone, the basis of that solution, is intended to encourage subscribers to use mobile phones instead of traditional fixed-line phones, by offering special price plans for users based on their location. SeekerZone detection technology is based on the SIM to help mobile operators introduce “fixed-like” services to all areas covered by their mobile networks.

 
“Fixed Mobile Substitution is an important part of mobile operator strategy as it enables operators to expand their business and drive revenue,” said Colin I’Anson at HP. “We partnered with Seeker Wireless because of their innovative approach to zone detection and their ability to make FMS truly profitable for operators.”
 
Seeker Wireless claims that SeekerZone can deliver 99.5% in-zone reliability with a zone size that varies from 100 meters to 500 meters.
 
HP acted as the System Integrator for the solution based on SeekerZone. HP took care of the overall project delivery and ensured the timely launch of the service. The company provided the Intelligent Network platform, facilitating real-time, accurate billing, as well as managing the smooth integration of SeekerZone into the operator network.
 
“FMS services are particularly significant in emerging markets where traditional fixed-line infrastructure is less prevalent. In these markets, FMS solutions like SeekerZone enable mobile operators to leapfrog traditional fixed-line services to capture additional usage and revenue,” said Dr Chris Drane, Chief Executive Officer at Seeker Wireless. “The innovative technology behind SeekerZone ensures that mobile operators maximize revenues from FMS services by delivering high in-zone reliability and tight zones around the home or office.”
