Dhaka, Bangladesh (BBN)- Banglalink, mobile phone operator, has signed a five-year deal with Ericsson to upgrade its charging system, including intelligent network expansion, consulting and systems integration services.
The upgraded charging system will enable Banglalink to offer subscribers new and innovative value-added services, a press statement said.
It said more than 90 percent of Bangladesh's mobile subscribers belong to the prepaid segment.
The upgrade will also make it easier for Banglalink to adopt a convergent prepaid and postpaid billing system.
"This is why we wanted to get a powerful unified, consolidated and standard solution that provides us with a competitive edge in prepaid services," says Mohammed Osman, Acting CEO and Chief Financial Officer of Banglalink. "This upgrade will also make it easier for us to adopt a convergent prepaid and postpaid billing system in the future. More importantly, it gives us the ability to quickly launch new value-added products and services."
By integrating the Ericsson OSS Navigator with the Ericsson Charging System, Banglalink will benefit from more effective network monitoring and improved service-aware network management.
