Dialled Roaming Number Correction Now Available As “Zero Touch” Remotely Hosted Network Service November 29th 2011
Evolved Intelligence, the network value added services company, has launched a virtual home environment (VHE) application as a remotely hosted service. This service automatically corrects dialled numbers for roaming mobile phone users. This results, claims the company, in an increase in billable calls made by roamers.
Already a market leader in VHE functionality, with full support for prepaid and postpaid subscribers, inbound and outbound roamers and a uniquely flexible number translation plan rules engine, this new development allows operators to deploy the service with very little operational cost.
Nick Jones, CTO at Evolved Intelligence explains: “The key benefit of this new technology is that it allows us to deploy VHE for an operator without having to install active SS7 equipment in their network. In fact, because there is no SS7 install project, the operator can even trial the service before rollout. For this reason we refer to this technology as “zero touch”.”
“Zero touch” technology is an extension of Evolved Intelligence’s existing work on remote hosting technology for network value added services. The company already offers multi-tenanted hosted value added services which are connected to client operators via a secure IP connection to a local “network interface function” or “NIF”.
Says Robin Burton, Head of Marketing at Evolved Intelligence: “This new service is built upon our existing VHE solution. This solution already has a number of key advantages over alternative systems. Because of our network architecture, for example, we can offer VHE for pre-paid as well as post-paid subscribers. We have also put a lot of innovative work into the development of the number translation plan. If you think about it, you soon realise that providing dialled number translation for roamers is a very big challenge. The number of combinations that may need translation is huge. It is also a task that can never be finished; there are always changes being introduced to numbering plans. Our team has developed a language that allows us to easily change the rule sets for individual countries. We also, as part of our service, monitor the calls being made by roamers and identify the ones that are problematic. That way we can quickly cover the bulk of calls being made.”
VHE is one of several roaming applications now available from Evolved Intelligence.
