Single Platform for Asian Operator Alliance
Published on:
LogicaCMG says that it has been chosen as a solutions and systems integration partner for Bridge Mobile, an alliance encompassing eight Asia Pacific mobile operators, to go live with its inaugural regional mobile services offering.
Bridge Mobile alliance, serving a combined subscriber base of 64 million, aims to facilitate a regional mobile infrastructure and a common service platform. This platform will enable the creation and seamless delivery of regional mobile services across all geographies and enhance the quality of service to roaming subscribers of the member operators. The eight operators in the alliance are SingTel Mobile (Singapore), SingTel Optus (Australia), Airtel (India), Maxis (Malaysia), Telkomsel (Indonesia), Globe Telecom (Philippines), Taiwan Mobile (Taiwan) and CSL (Hong Kong).
One inaugural service is Bridge Prepaid, which will enable the alliance member operators' pre-paid subscribers, for the first time, to conveniently and quickly top-up their pre-paid account while roaming in any of the member countries. Currently this is only possible in the originating country, where a pre-paid subscriber is required to carry extra top-up cards, or ask someone in their home country to activate a top-up.
LogicaCMG is setting up the underlying core infrastructure with a Common Access Gateway and a Wholesale Billing and Settlement System, as well as enabling the initial service offering of Bridge Prepaid. The Access Gateway comprises LogicaCMG's Open Messaging Gateway (OMG) and Aepona Causeway - the standards-based integration backbone for convergent networks. LogicaCMG partnered with Intec for the billing and settlement systems and selected Utiba for the Bridge Prepaid solution.
Dr. Patrick Sim, CEO of Bridge Mobile said: "LogicaCMG's solutions will help our member operators provide an enhanced international mobile experience and enable our members to commercialise new services and technologies faster. The solution allows us to set new standards of innovation, with a faster time to market in order to support the rapidly evolving business needs. Bridge Mobile is now able to facilitate the launch of more innovative products and services on a regional basis to create competitive differentiation for our member operators."
