Type: News

Telenet Group Holding, a provider of broadband cable services in Belgium, will use Comverse One Billing and Active Customer Management as its real-time rating and billing platform for digital television and mobile services.

By selecting Comverse One, Telenet confirmed its long-standing partnership with Comverse to provide a broad set of new subscriber services through advanced real-time rating and charging, subscriber account management, and billing for content, data and other value- added services. Comverse One's real-time functionality also will allow Telenet to customize marketing and promotional campaigns to encourage service usage and adoption among its subscribers.
"Convergent real-time rating and billing uniquely gives us the ability to use one system to manage all subscribers consistently, regardless of payment or service type, as well as accelerate the launch of new offers and promotions," said Telenet Executive Vice President Technology & Solutions Jan Vorstermans. "It gives Telenet the flexibility for key differentiation through personalization and bundled offers across fixed and mobile services."

Real Time Billing is just one of several deployment modes within the Comverse One solution, which is a converged Business Support System (BSS) that enables multi-play operators to support any type of payment, such as prepaid, postpaid or hybrid. Comverse One also allows operators to create and deliver any service over its network.

"Comverse is very pleased to be selected by Telenet, Belgium's largest cable broadband provider, as we believe that our BSS solution makes an excellent fit with the needs of cable telecom operators," said Urban Gillstrom, Group President of Global Sales at Comverse. "As more operators become quad-service players, Comverse One Billing and Active Customer Management is an ideal BSS solution due to its single data model approach and unified architecture that reduce complexity and speed time to market with its ability to support any service, any network, and any payment type -- all natural advantages in multi-play environments."

Comverse is a provider of software and systems enabling value- added services for voice, messaging, mobile Internet and mobile advertising; converged billing and active customer management; and IP communications.
