Orange Orders Billing Platform

VoluBill, a provider of charging solutions says that it will supply its Charge it suite of solutions to Orange Cameroon. VoluBill's combined technologies will offer the flexibility and scalability to enable Orange to quickly implement mobile services and pricing when required. The solutions will also provide revenue generating support for Orange's new wireless data services.

Orange Cameroon's IT Manager, Eric Diwouta, cited VoluBill's previous experience with Orange as a key reason for choosing the vendor's solutions. "VoluBill has enjoyed successful collaborations with other Orange sites around the world so it seemed logical to approach them directly for our mobile charging requirements," explains Diwouta. "We are confident the vendor's sophisticated technology, coupled with a professional, highly experienced team, will ensure a smooth delivery of their solutions as well as a guarantee that our business needs will be met from day one. This includes real-time chargeable access to advanced data services for all our existing and future pre-paid customers."

The Charge it for IP solution will be installed to analyse all IP traffic to allow Orange to filter, control and charge, in real-time, any type of IP data. VoluBill's Charge it for Browsing solution for Web and WAP browsing will enable Orange to filter, control and charge, in real-time, for any WAP and HTTP traffic on its network. The Charge it on Delivery solution will then ensure the successful completion of WAP download services and enable Orange to charge customers only on successful delivery of services rather than on content requests.

France Telecom's mobile group Orange is one of VoluBill's most valuable and loyal customers. The company has deployed its charging solutions at a number of Orange sites around the world, including the Caribbean, Botswana and the Dominican Republic.

The Mobile World database reports that Orange has just over 1 million customers - and a market share of 43%."
