Highlighting the company's strong position and achieving a significant industry
milestone, Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) has surpassed the 2 billion mark in the
number of worldwide subscriptions served by its charging and billing solutions,
which - according to the World Cellular Information Service (WCIS) database - is
equivalent to a 31 percent market share of global subscriptions.
The 2 billion figure is aggregated from subscriptions of Ericsson's charging
systems, BSCS, CBiO (Charging and Billing in One) and charging solutions from
the acquired Telcordia. These solutions comprise a mix of converged, prepaid and
postpaid deployments around the world.
Per Borgklint, Head of Ericsson's Business Unit Support Solutions, says: "Two
billion subscriptions served by Ericsson's charging and billing solutions is a
tremendous milestone that further reinforces our No. 1 market-leadership
position in telecom operations and business support systems (OSS/BSS). Reaching
this milestone also reflects the success of our operator customers, and we look
forward to supporting them with innovative convergent solutions that drive
greater operational efficiency and deliver an optimal user experience."
Ericsson charging and billing solutions allow communication service providers to
handle all customers, partners and services in a streamlined, convergent
process, covering prepaid and postpaid, voice and data, fixed and mobile, retail
and wholesale in real-time. Traditional telecom services such as SMS, MMS, voice
and broadband including bundled quadruple play offerings are all supported.
Ericsson also supports new machine-to-machine offerings and advanced subscriber
and partner management capabilities, which creates vast opportunities for
operators to innovate.
Larry Goldman, Partner, Head of Telecoms Software Research, Analysys Mason,
says: "Ericsson is well recognized for expanding its portfolio with the addition
of Telcordia and ConceptWave, which sets them on track toward the position of
being the No. 1 operations and business support systems provider. The company is
well positioned with the right mix of OSS/BSS assurance, fulfillment and billing
products and corresponding support, consulting and systems integration services
to further expand on its No. 1 market-share ranking."
