TELUS Turns to DigitalRoute for Efficient Mediation
STOCKHOLM, March 21, 2012/PRNewswire/ --
DigitalRoute, a leading provider of mediation solutions for the communications
industry, today announced that its MediationZone product has been deployed by Canadian
telecommunications provider TELUS.
TELUS set out to replace its existing mediation platforms in order to reduce costs for
processing usage data across the company's multiple business support systems (BSS).
DigitalRoute was selected after a thorough evaluation of the available mediation
technologies on the market.
MediationZone is now in live operation at TELUS, providing an integration layer
between the mobile core network and the BSS. The deployment is one of the first steps in a
comprehensive replacement program. TELUS is now looking to further enhance cost
performance by expanding the use of MediationZone to replace its other mediation systems
over time.
"MediationZone has reduced our total cost of ownership for mediation, and it also
provides the ability to reduce the overall load on our business support systems," said
James Ritchie, vice-president of consumer development and support at TELUS. "With its
implementation, we are able to efficiently meet our expanding mediation needs, the result
of continuous growth in mobile data."
"We are extremely pleased to work with TELUS and look forward to supporting the next
steps in the mediation replacement program," said Jan Karlsson, CEO at DigitalRoute.
"DigitalRoute is established in the market for providing the most sophisticated and
cost-efficient mediation technology. Our pure focus on mediation and our commitment to our
customers has earned us the trust of the world's leading service providers."
