Dialog Telecom Selects Alcatel-Lucent for MVNO Services

Posted on: Thursday, 14 August 2008, 12:00 CDT

Dialog Telecom has selected Alcatel-Lucent's convergent payment solution for its mobile virtual network operator services.

Under the terms of the contract, Alcatel-Lucent will deploy a service delivery platform which includes the Alcatel-Lucent 8610 Instant Convergent Charging (ICC) suite and the 5900 Specialized 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.

According to Alcatel-Lucent, its 8610 ICC suite, based on the open services platform, will give Dialog the capacity to expand its convergent service offering with mobile prepaid and post-paid 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.

Piotr Mazurkiewicz, president of management board of Dialog Telecom, said: "We chose Alcatel-Lucent because we are convinced that the MVNO (mobile virtual network operator) 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."
