FarEasTone Deploys OSS Solution for IMS Services

It has been announced that Taiwanese operator FarEasTone is using Comptel Corp's Convergent Mediation Solution, and Provisioning and Activation Solution to support the delivery of services on their new IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) platform.

Far EasTone deployed 3.5G and IMS technologies from Ericsson, and in order to be able to activate new IMS based services and charge for them, Far EasTone chose Comptel to supply its Dynamic OSS software.

In the first instance, FarEasTone is using IMS to deploy a new dual fixed and mobile service. This service allows users to make and receive calls using either a Wi-Fi Internet connection or the 3G mobile network. Users have just one number for both services, and can choose at anytime to use either their PC or a Wi-Fi phone running VoIP, or a mobile handset when on the move. FarEasTone has adopted Comptel Provisioning and Activation Solution to register and deregister users on the network, and to allocate and de-allocate the services to them. FarEasTone is also using Comptel Convergent Mediation Solution to collect usage information to charge for these services.

Mr. Mika Korpinen, Comptel's Vice President, APAC, concludes: "FarEasTone is a real pioneer, leading the way in using IMS to deliver appealing lifestyle services to their customers. For Comptel, working in close partnership with innovative service providers like FarEasTone is very exciting, and also helps us maintain our leadership in service fulfillment automation, mediation and charging, through our Comptel Dynamic OSS."
