DIGITALK today announces that leading Caribbean operator MIO has chosen the DIGITALK Multiservice platform (MSP) to deploy a range of wireless value-added services targeted at the residential and business markets in Curacao.
The services will leverage the power of the DIGITALK MSP to take advantage of the well established and extensive wireless network that spans much of the Caribbean, and will include a range of prepaid calling card applications and indirect telephony services using CPS (Carrier Pre-Select).
Using the DIGITALK MSP as the core of its network, MIO can consolidate its billing requirements onto a single platform, allowing it to offer consolidated billing to its customers and to reduce its operational overheads.
EOCG Wireless, MIO’s parent company, holds both 2G and 3G (cdma2000) licences throughout the region, including on the islands of Curacao, Bonaire and Saint Maarten.
John Perry, COO / EVP, EOCG LLC commented “We are continuing to strengthen our partnerships in the Caribbean to deliver highly competitive rates to the people who need it most, by delivering cost effective, fast entry to market and value added services.”
MIO previously used an agent partition on a third-party’s DIGITALK Multiservice Platform but has now opted migrate their services to its own dedicated DIGITALK switch due to the continued rapid growth of their services.
MIO is experiencing significant growth in the region, which is being fuelled by increasing deregulation in the market aimed at stimulating competition.
The DIGITALK platform will also act as a voice services gateway and is supported by SS7 interconnects both nationally and internationally which enables MIO to offer the most competitive call rates for both prepaid and account based customers.
Mark Ashdown, Sales and Marketing Director at DIGITALK added; “The DIGITALK MSP is designed to be a flexible platform that allows operators to use it across a range of access technologies including both mobile and fixed line. The MIO deployment of the MSP serves as a good example how it can be used to support a range of services, thus allowing them to target a whole range of business and residential customers”.
