Tecore Wireless Systems says that its customer, Telsom
Mobile, has deployed Per-Second Precision Prepaid for their prepaid
customers network-wide in Somalia.
Telsom is a Joint Venture Company between two
telecommunication service providers in Somalia, Somatel and Telcom Somalia,
and was established in February 2001.
"We've been able to implement Tecore's solution as a true real-time,
pay-for-what-you-say feature for prepaid services - on a per subscriber
basis for all calls, across peak and off-peak hours, every day of the week,"
said M. A. Jama, Telsom Mobile's CEO.
"These types of customized features allow us to compete in
the market and significantly increase our business while giving the customer
more flexibility and freedom of choice."
With the Per-Second Precision Prepaid capability, Tecore operators have
unparalleled flexibility to customize their billing increments to match
their market needs.
They are able to create a variety of billing increments from
1-second to over 5-minute intervals. When carriers face pressure to reduce
the per-minute tariffs that they charge to their customers, per-second
charging becomes a logical alternative.
"This implementation gives wireless operators the true flexibility of
per-second billing to stay ahead and quickly react to changes in the
marketplace," said Casey Joseph, Tecore's chief technical officer and vice
president of engineering.
"Our engineering team is equipped to design such innovative
and customized tariff structures on the AirCore System to meet our evolving
customer needs," added Joseph.
