Share:
CommunicAsia June 20, Singapore- Unico and Apertio today announce their first major joint contract win in Australia with a market-leading telecommunications operator. Unico will deploy Apertio One-NDS to manage subscriber data at the heart of the network. The new platform will consolidate the data of a leading carrier's mobile subscribers.
Apertio, the leading independent provider of subscriber-centric networks, and Unico, a technical and business consulting company, will be replacing traditional legacy core network components with a next generation open standards capability. The project, due for completion by the middle of this year, will provide the operator with the foundation to continue to remove substantial operating cost from the network by consolidating data into the Apertio One-NDS.
"In recent years, the Australian market has experienced significant growth and, as such, we have seen a concerted effort by operators to differentiate themselves through the rapid deployment of new converged services," said Russell Williams, general manager at Unico. "Today's deal illustrates how operators are responding to market by consolidating existing data into flexible platforms which will increase competitiveness of their current and new generation networks."
"This latest Apertio One-NDS deployment highlights the market's need for a flexible, IT standards-based architecture able to support current and future business growth," said Andrew Wyatt, chief product operations officer at Apertio. "The operator's strategic decision to streamline its infrastructure portfolio and liberate subscriber data will support the rapid development of real-time, on demand converged services."
