Alcatel-Lucent Picks Up Billing Contract for Polish MVNO
Poland's Dialog Telecom has selected Alcatel-Lucent’s convergent payment solution for its MVNO services. Alcatel-Lucent will also integrate the platform with the core network of a mobile network operator, acting as a host for Dialog’s mobile services, as Dialog, a virtual operator, doesn’t own a network.
“Dialog wants to be a leader in service convergence among independent operators in Poland. As one of the leading brands in the Polish telecommunication market we are in good position to integrate our fixed, Internet and multimedia services with a mobile portfolio and create a winning quadruple-play service bundle,” said Piotr Mazurkiewicz, President of Management Board of Dialog Telecom. “We chose Alcatel-Lucent because we are convinced that the MVNO capabilities of their solution provide the performance and flexibility required for creating attractive and reliable services for our customers. It was also very important that Alcatel-Lucent has the references of a leading integrator of telecommunication systems, and these skills are vital for the success of this project.”
Under the terms of the contract, Alcatel-Lucent will deploy a service delivery platform which includes the Alcatel-Lucent 8610 Instant Convergent Charging suite and the 5900 Specialised Resource Point for IVR functionality. It will also deliver its 8985 Mobile Provisioning system and NGN switching subsystem based on the Alcatel-Lucent 5020 Media Gateway Controller and Alcatel-Lucent 7515 Media Gateway, which support SIP-based OSP applications.
