Bharti Airtel deploys Ericsson's intelligent network solution to upgrade its pre-paid platform
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
* Modernizing one of the world's largest multi-service charging prepaid
customer bases
* Offers flexible data plans to prepaid subscribers across multiple domains -
2G, 3G, 4G and Wi-Fi
* Will enhance customer experience through personalized, real-time charging
Bharti Airtel, a leading global telecommunications company with operations in
20 countries across Asia and Africa, today announced that it has deployed
Ericsson's (NASDAQ: ERIC) Intelligent Modernization Network solution for the
company's prepaid subscribers, across 23 telecom circles in India. Ericsson and
Bharti Airtel planned and executed the systems integration of the solution that
will allow Bharti Airtel to enhance the prepaid customer experience by offering
a wider and more attractive range of prepaid services, flexible bundling and
real-time control of chargeable services.
As part of the deal, Ericsson's multi-service Mobile Broadband Charging suite
will allow prepaid customers to have a personalized profile-based data charging
plan. Prepaid customers will be able to customize their data plans across
mobility, fixed line and broadband by cross-bundling over multiple domains -
2G, 3G, 4G and Wi-Fi. It will also offer flexible multi-service charging in
geographical redundant mode to the world's largest prepaid subscriber base.
Jagbir Singh, CTO & Director, Network Services Group, Bharti Airtel, says:
"Prepaid customers are demanding flexibility in service packages. Bharti Airtel
has the world's largest prepaid base; therefore it was imperative to deploy a
solution that supports us in meeting the requirements of our prepaid customers.
Ericsson's Mobile Broadband Charging suite has the capability to control complex
tariff plans and service bundles. The wide array of prepaid services,
personalized data plans and real-time charging experience will allow prepaid
customers to control their mobile usage, thereby allowing us to further enrich
their lives."
Fredrik Jejdling, Head of Region India, Ericsson, says: "Data consumption is far
more complex than voice and this solution will help Bharti offer enhanced data
services to increase flexibility, control and enrich their customer experience."
Ericsson's recent ConsumerLab study on India's Generation Z indicated
transparent billing and charging were key requirements from service providers.
The Bharti Airtel Mobile Broadband solution, powered by Ericsson Mobile
Broadband Charging, keeps the subscriber in focus while collecting, deriving and
analyzing metrics from various network elements, application servers, and end-
user devices. Bharti Airtel is the largest Ericsson customer to implement
Geographical Redundancy for its prepaid and mobile broadband services.
Ericsson has been a strategic partner of Bharti Airtel since 1995.
