[October 22, 2003] Telsis Switches At Core of Jtech Start-Up Package For Telcos Would-be telcos and service providers denied funding by traditional lenders are being given a fast and affordable start in life thanks to an innovative start-up package created by network integration house Jtech. Pivotal to the offer is the Ocean fastSSP from Telsis, a carrier-grade switch whose unique combination of price, features and abilities has just enabled Jtech (www.jtechltd.com) to win its eighth such order. Explains Jtech managing director Ian Steele: “Many new ventures today can’t get funding. Where we find a strong business plan, we step in with a complete package under which we fund, house, configure and remotely manage the required infrastructure, enabling the new operator to get off the ground. Our choice of switch is crucial to the success of the offer. We chose the Ocean fastSSP and have just installed our eighth.” The fastSSP is a programmable IN platform that is widely used by both major carriers and OLOs around the world. It is delivered complete with powerful remote control facilities and on-board application programming. “It’s a perfect choice for us,” says Steele. “PC-style downtime is totally unacceptable to any telco expecting to make money in today’s market, so the robustness of the purpose-built Telsis platform immediately puts it ahead. The small footprint means third-party hosting fees are low while the remote management suite and internal programming environment keep purchase and lifetime costs under control. That’s a unique combination and it’s why we keep coming back to Telsis for more switches.” With its headquarters, research and production site in the UK, Telsis (www.telsis.com) 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. [ Back To TMCnet.com's Homepage ]
