India-based Unitech Wireless has selected Telcordia prepaid mobile services platform for a Pan-India GSM Network to serve millions of subscribers.

Telecordia’s Real-Time Charging solution is expected to help Unitech Wireless to reduce time-to-market in offering sophisticated and innovative services for advanced wireless voice and data, in all 22 circles across India.

In a release, Telcordia (News - Alert) officials said that the Real-Time Charging solution offers Unitech Wireless a flexible, affordable convergent charging solution that can handle the demands of prepaid-postpaid, voice-data-content, and circuit-packet convergence.

Officials said that while reducing time-to-market for new advanced services, the solution will also help Unitech Wireless reap major cost savings and drive revenue by consolidating charging on a convergent platform while increasing customer loyalty, usage and retention.

"India continues to experience exceptional rates of subscriber growth and communication service providers (CSPs) will look to attract new subscribers and increase service use to boost revenue by differentiating their service offerings," said Anuj Kapur, country head, India, service delivery solutions, Telcordia, in the release.

Kapur said this marks the fourth CSP (News - Alert) in India to select Telcordia for real-time charging and is indicative of the value and much needed service differentiation that Telcordia brings CSPs in a highly competitive market by enabling value-added, personalized and interactive services.

Telcordia, a major player in the development of fixed, mobile and broadband communications software and services, enables communications service providers (CSPs), enterprises, suppliers and government entities to successfully deploy advanced services that help the clients realize operational efficiencies, drive revenue, and maintain a competitive edge in the new era of services-dominated communications.

"The order placed with Telcordia is one of the major orders for equipment and solutions placed by Unitech Wireless this year. Leveraging existing competencies in the infrastructure and services space will be central to our strategy to reduce time-to-market and ensure a swift and cost-efficient rollout of our services in the Indian market," said Rohit Chandra, chief operating officer at Unitech Wireless.
