Opera Telecom Deploys Telsis Programmable Switches

Opera Telecom has deployed additional programmable switches from Telsis to support its business expansion in the UK and Ireland. The operator launched in November 2000 with a Telsis Ocean fastSSP switch and fastSCP service control point at its Birmingham operations centre. Opera Telecom has now invested in further Ocean fastSSPs from Telsis’ small-footprint, high-performance, carrier-grade technology portfolio for its new switching centres in London and Dublin.

Headquartered in Birmingham, Opera Telecom is one of the fastest growing and most profitable providers of premium SMS services worldwide. It also offers a full range of telecom service facilities including international switching, IVR application hosting, Web development, unified messaging, ISP and WAP infrastructure as well as global billing.

Opera Telecom also provides services direct to some of the world's leading portals, national broadcasters, national and regional publishers, international carriers, network operators and independent telecommunication companies. Customers include GMTV, BT, MSN, EMAP, Eircom and ITV.

With its headquarters, research and production site in the UK, Telsis has sales and support operations in France, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, Spain, Singapore and Australia. The company offers a range of carrier-grade infrastructure platforms, including intelligent SMS Routers, IN service control points, switches and advanced IVR solutions that support a wide variety of innovative value-added text and voice services. Telsis products are in use with major fixed and mobile network operators around the world.

Opera Telecom’s managing director, Gary Corbett, said, "The Telsis platform is remarkably flexible and robust and lets us create and launch new mobile services quickly and cost-effectively, in order to support the evolving requirements of our customers.”
