Bintel Group Awards Redknee License Expansion
TORONTO, March 2, 2010--
- Redknee Supports Growth of Bintel Operation in Gabon
Redknee (TSX:RKN), a leading provider of business-critical billing and
charging software and solutions for communications service providers, today
announced it has received an order for a software license expansion for its
Turnkey Converged Billing (TCB) and Airtime Reseller solution at Azur,
Gabon's newest mobile provider, to support their rapid growth and subscriber
acquisition.
Azur Gabon, a subsidiary of Bintel Ltd, has successfully entered the
market with a vision of providing the best value, quality voice and data
services to the people of Gabon. Redknee's TCB and Airtime Reseller solution
are a fundamental part of this strategy, which equips Azur Gabon with a full
solution suite that delivers real-time rating, charging, billing and customer
care.
"We are excited about Bintel's rapid, ahead-of-schedule growth and the
opportunity to expand the license for Redknee's market-leading, turnkey
converged billing solution. We look forward to a long-term, strategic
partnership with the Bintel Group and supporting its further success in
Gabon," said Redknee CEO Lucas Skoczkowski. "At Redknee, we are continuing
our investment in the high growth markets of Africa, the Middle East and Asia
Pacific, along with the Tier-1 markets of the Americas, Europe and Australia,
to support the execution of our growth strategy."
Redknee's Turnkey Converged Billing solution delivers a functionally rich
platform that extends beyond basic rating, charging and billing models,
enabling operators to differentiate service offerings in competitive markets.
The TCB platform provides operators with the ability to launch creative,
real-time promotions and incentives to their customers, along with
consumer-friendly features that optimize the overall subscriber experience
and boost operator productivity and efficiency. A key feature of the TCB
platform is Redknee's Airtime Reseller, which enables voucherless, prepaid
wireless airtime top-up.
Bruno Valat, General Manager of Azur Gabon stated:
"Bintel has established itself as a leading and innovative telecom
operator in Middle East and West Africa within a short time period.
Completely in tune with our African markets, we aim to provide innovative and
flexible mobile solutions, based on best price, best value as well as the
highest level of customer service and network quality. Azur's successful
entry into the Gabon market is part of our continued growth in Africa.
Redknee's market experience and innovative solutions makes them our partner
of choice on billing, CRM and electronic voucher, which additionally ensures
that Azur is competitively positioned to provide a wide range of packages and
services to our subscribers."
