The software and systems supplier, Comverse, today announced that Bulgaria-based telecom operator, Max Telecom (News - Alert), is now providing residential and corporate subscribers with voice and data over its WiMAX
infrastructure. The new service will utilize the Comverse (News - Alert) MyCall Converged Communications, IPCentrex and business trunking solutions.
"As a greenfield operator in a very competitive market, we required a solution that enabled fast time to market," said Krassimir Stoitcheff (News - Alert), CEO of Max Telecom.
"Using Comverse IP
telephony solutions, we were able to migrate subscribers in a totally transparent way to receive voice services via a WiMAX (News - Alert) access point we brand as MaxVox. Now our customers receive the benefit of high quality voice at an attractive price as part of a single, cost-effective service bundle,” Stoitcheff explained.
As a complete, pre-integrated, IP-based telephony solution, MyCall Converged Communications improves time to market, trims operational costs and easily scales up to meet high-capacity requirements. Primary line capabilities and a range of embedded value-added applications allow service providers to create a more competitive and profitable portfolio of services.
Based on a future-proof, IMS
architecture, MyCall Converged Communications works on Comverse's Class 5 Application Server. It can also be integrated with the complete Comverse portfolio of billing and value-added services solutions.
"This is an exciting implementation as Max Telecom is a fully integrated, IP-based next-generation network service provider using end-to-end IP-based infrastructure over WiMAX
, and this leads to many innovative services while maximizing the cost efficiencies of IP Communications," commented Franck Darmon, vice president and general manager of Comverse Converged IP Communications.
