Mobitel has deployed FTS express to charge and bill for its range of broadband, VoIP and WiMAX services, as well as to enable the new services to be easily launched. In addition, using FTS express' business rules engine and policy control [http://www.fts-soft.com/category/policy-control ] functionality, Mobitel is able to dynamically change the subscriber's bandwidth, based on his quota and financial status.
"We will be experiencing fast growth over the next few years as we increase the range of services we offer to our customers," said Mr. Johnson Salako, CEO at Mobitel. "The FTS express solution fits in perfectly with our requirements as it can both grow with us and enable us to launch those new services quickly."
