Telenity has announced its Canvas UMS, Unified Messaging System and Canvas F-SMSC, Fixed-Line Short Message Service Center have been deployed through Turk Telekom. The company is a fixed-line operator, recently privatized and owned by Oger Telekom, based in Dubai. The deployment is one of the largest commercial rollouts in Europe and services 20 million Turk Telekom subscribers with more than four million active mailboxes.
The Canvas UMS and Canvas F-SMSC are built on the Canvas Converged Services Platform (CSP) and offer distributed architecture functionality and high scalability. They may be deployed as fully integrated or as point solutions. The UMS solution supports email, voice mail, fax, SMS, virtual phone and message information services. The initial deployment by Turk Telekom supports 9,860 voice channels and is easily expanded to 34,560 by a software license upgrade. The F-SMC supports short messaging in fixed-line networks and offers legacy telephone support through text-to-speech for fixed-line and wireless networks.
"Turk Telekom first chose Telenity for our advanced Canvas UMS solution. When they also decided to offer fixed-line short messaging services, they did not have to search far", said Dilip Singh, CEO at Telenity. "With our underlying converged service delivery architecture already deployed in their network, we were able to expand their existing UMS infrastructure with fixed-line messaging capability cost efficiently and with time-to-market."
"Messaging--SMS, MMS and UMS--is and will continue to be one of the most lucrative value added services to increase ARPU and reduce churn," said Serif Beykoz, general manager at Telenity Europe. "The commercial deployment of Canvas UMS and F-SMSC will ensure that Turk Telekom can very effectively compete with its wireless competitors and offer its subscribers innovative services such as the three new end user services they recently announced - Voice Mail, Family Card, and Fixed-line SMS."
"Fixed network operators around the world are struggling with how to compete with wireless operators and increase service revenues while lowering costs," said Paul Doany, general manager at Turk Telekom. "Telenity came to us with new ways of thinking about IP technology which create a network fabric that ensures we can compete very effectively with wireless service providers. Telenity's converged services architecture presents a strong business case that will potentially enable greater traffic and revenues for us while it provides integrated messaging capabilities and the ability to create and deliver new innovative services to our end users."
