| Seeker and HP Enable Virtual Fixed-line Services in Eastern Europe Seeker Wireless and HP announce that their joint Fixed Mobile Substitution solution has been deployed to deliver virtual fixed-line services via mobile phones in Eastern Europe. The solution has been deployed by one of the largest mobile operators in Eastern Europe and is providing consumers and businesses with "fixed-like" telephony services in the home or office via mobile phones. The solution eliminates the need for cables and outlets in the wall, enabling subscribers to benefit from fast and easy access to telephone services, which also include a range of value added services such as SMS. SeekerZone from Seeker Wireless has been created for the growing FMS market and is designed to encourage subscribers to use mobile phones instead of traditional fixed-line phones, by introducing special price plans for users based on their location. SeekerZone detection technology is based on the SIM card and enables mobile operators to roll out "fixed-like" services to all areas covered by their mobile networks. Unlike first generation HomeZone solutions, based on older Cell-ID technologies, SeekerZone can deliver 99.5% in-zone reliability with a zone size that varies from 100 metres to 500 metres in most environments, significantly reducing potential revenue leakage. HP was the System Integrator for the solution based on SeekerZone. HP managed the overall project delivery and ensured the timely launch of the service. As part of the delivery, HP also provided the Intelligent Network platform, enabling real-time, accurate billing, as well as managing the smooth integration of SeekerZone into the operator network. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Computing News :: home page |
