Far EasTone Selects Redknee & CommVerge Solutions for IMS Solution
Redknee Monetization products Enable Competitive Bundled Offering and Improved
Service Quality
TORONTO - July 17, 2007 - Redknee (AIM: RKN), a leading provider of innovative
infrastructure software that monetizes and personalizes services and content for
mobile operators, today announced that two of its monetization products have
been selected by Far EasTone Communications Co., Ltd. (4904:Taiwan Stock
Exchange) (Far EasTone), a leader in converged mobile communication and
Internet services, as part of Redknee's strategic reseller agreement with
CommVerge Solutions Holdings (Asia) Inc. (CommVerge Solutions). The deal
constitutes the first phase in a multi-phase project.
Far EasTone currently serves over 6 million subscribers and is actively moving
forward with its strategy to provide a converged fixed-mobile service
environment. The implementation of Redknee's next-generation network service
capabilities will enable Far EasTone to introduce competitive bundled offerings
and improved service quality across its subscriber-base, in addition to
delivering operating and capital cost efficiencies.
Jeffey Gee, Executive Vice President, Network Division, of Far EasTone
commented:
"As one of the first operators to implement HSDPA and IMS in Asia, our criteria
for a policy and data charging vendor were demanding. Together, Redknee and
CommVerge Solutions have demonstrated a deep understanding of both our business
requirements and the evolving nature of IMS standards."
CommVerge, in Phase 1 of the project, will provide project management and
engineering expertise to integrate Redknee's Policy Decision Rules Server (PDRS)
and Unified Rating & Charging System (URCS) with Far EasTone's
telecommunications network in Taiwan.
Edmund Wei, President & CEO of CommVerge Solutions, commented: "This win
provides further demonstration of CommVerge's integration competencies in
advanced IMS networks. Working with Redknee's world leading standards-based
products, we are confident in meeting Far EasTone's business and network
convergence requirements."
Redknee's monetization products provide Far EasTone with a real-time converged
rating, charging and policy management system for advanced data services across
prepaid, postpaid, fixed and mobile subscribers in a unified platform. Redknee's
PDRS and URCS products collectively provide a unified point of control and
management of data services across all access types from 2.5G to High-Speed
Downlink Packet Access ("HSDPA") and other emerging technologies.
Lucas Skoczkowski, CEO at Redknee, added:
"Redknee takes great pride in working with Far EasTone, one of Asia's leading
operators and a pioneer in global data services and IMS. This contract is a
further example of Redknee's growing leadership in monetizing mobile IMS
networks around the world. By working with our partner CommVerge Solutions, we
are deploying our open standard based monetization products to help Far EasTone
achieve success through improved quality of service on a per-subscriber,
per-transaction basis."
