Marocco's Wana Selects Comptel's IMS Solutions


HELSINKI, Finland, May 23/- Comptel Solutions Part of Wana's Next Generation Network Strategy

Comptel Corporation (OMX Helsinki: CTL1V), the leading vendor of dynamic Operations Support System (OSS) software, announced today that it has been selected by Wana (formerly Maroc Connect), a Moroccan supplier of fixed and mobile telecommunications services, to provide provisioning, mediation and identifier management solutions for their next-generation network (NGN).
Integrated by Bull in the global Information System of the customer, these solutions are being deployed in the context of Wana's strategy of incremental deployment of IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem), which will facilitate the launch of new converged services in the Moroccan market.

Wana's new IP-based network will help it acquire fixed and mobile customers with services like voice over IP (VoIP) and virtual private networks (VPN), in a country where penetration for such services is still comparatively low. Comptel's IMS-ready solutions will enable Wana to provision customers and services on that network, collect usage information for charging purposes, and manage IP addresses and mobile numbers.

Mr. Pascal Bourgain, CIO for Wana says: "We chose Comptel because we considered it to be a leader in provisioning and mediation, with a long history of innovation. We also selected Bull as the System Integrator of our complete Information System and we knew that Comptel's solutions could be deployed under the very tight time-scales we needed for this project.
Comptel's convergent solutions are also aligned to Wana's strategy to deploy their fixed and mobile services over a converged network and management infrastructure."

Mr. Mikko Saavalainen, Senior Vice President Sales at Comptel concludes:
"Comptel is experiencing a growing demand for its solutions in the region, and we believe this is due in no small measure to our reputation for delivering timely, reliable and innovative solutions that respond to our customers' requirements. Wana's strategy built on technological leadership will also help Comptel maintain our own leadership in OSS."
