Taiwan's FarEasTone Deploys Comptel Dynamic OSS(TM) Solution for IMS Services

Comptel's Convergent Mediation, Provisioning and Activation Software Helps Deliver Innovative Dual Wi-Fi and Mobile Services

Comptel Corporation (OMX Helsinki: CTL1V), the leading vendor of dynamic Operations Support System (OSS) software, announced today that Taiwanese convergent operator FarEasTone is using Comptel Convergent Mediation Solution, and Comptel Provisioning and Activation Solution to support the delivery of innovative services on their new IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) platform.

In making its vision of "Anywhere, Anytime, Communications Enriching the Lives of People", a reality, FarEasTone aims to outperform its peers. This means broadening the appeal of current service offerings and actively developing innovative services for the benefit of consumers.

As part of this process, FarEasTone deployed 3.5G and IMS technologies from Ericsson. IMS is a standardised network architecture that allows operators to provide multimedia services. In order to be able to activate new IMS based services and charge for them, FarEasTone chose its long term partner Comptel to supply its Comptel 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 (Voice over Internet Protocol), 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.

FarEasTone have been using Comptel Convergent Mediation Solution and Comptel Provisioning and Activation Solution for more standard mobile services for a number of years now. They have built a real partnership with Comptel.

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."
