Argent Rolls out Rating and Billing for Liberia

Argent Networks has announced that it has deployed its Eclipse real-time data billing solution to Libercell, Liberia's national telecommunications provider.

ArgentSDP and ArgentEclipse provide a fully converged solution and will provide Libercell with IN & NGN based pre-paid and post-paid voice and data billing, unified real-time rating and CRM for all mobile, fixed line, and value-added next generation services.

ArgentEclipse will operate on a network supplied by Huawei Technologies and Ericsson Communications. The platform will have dual interconnects to both the existing Ericsson MSC and a new Huawei supplied MSC.

Larry Barker, CEO of Argent Networks says that with more than five times the number of mobile phones to fixed lines and increasingly more convergent data being used by Libercell's many customers, Liberia is set to continue its rapid growth in its telecommunications networks.

"We have worked with Huawei elsewhere in the world including Africa and they are a leading telecommunications player with a commitment to building innovative and customized network products so we're sure the deployment of Argent's IN SDP and real-time converged voice and data billing for Libercell will provide Liberia with a solution that will create long-term value and opportunity."
