BTC Bahamas Selects Comptel Dynamic OSS for Mediation, Provisioning and Activation

HELSINKI, April 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Comptel Corporation (OMX Helsinki: CTL1V), the leading vendor of dynamic Operations Support System (OSS) software, announced today that Bahamas Telecommunications Company (BTC) has selected Comptel to supply mediation, provisioning and activation solutions.

Until a few years ago BTC offered services predominantly on TDMA and CDMA. In recent years, the GSM standard has gained popularity, and now most users are on the GSM network. Comptel has been used by BTC since 2002 for service mediation, provisioning and activation for TDMA and CDMA.

Recently, the growing complexity of GSM services required BTC to search for a more robust and reliable solution to replace its current 3rd party solutions. BTC has now selected Comptel Provisioning and Activation Solution and Comptel Convergent Mediation Solution.

Ms. Nickola Dawkins, CIO at BTC Bahamas, says: "At BTC we have a very demanding customer base. BTC must be able to deliver services fast and reliably, so we expect an excellent time-to-market and reliable delivery from our suppliers. Having worked with Comptel since 2002, we knew that their Comptel Dynamic OSS solutions would be able to meet our strict criteria."

Ms. Arnhild Schia, Comptel's Senior Vice President South and West Europe, Asia Pacific and Americas concludes: "The evolving business environment of BTC demonstrates the need for OSS to be dynamic and reliable in the way Comptel solutions have proven to be. We are of course delighted that BTC has chosen us as their OSS partner for the future."
