Telikom picks Verso Tech system
VERSO Technologies, Inc, a global
provider of next-generation network solutions, has announced that
its GSM A.bis optimisation technology was selected by Telikom PNG
to reduce network congestion, double current capacity, and
substantially increase the carrier’s mobile subscriber base.
A report on BusinessWire said the upgrade was part of the
carrier’s plan to improve its telecom network and subscriber
services.
“Our GSM A.bis solution is a key component of PNG’s rapidly
expanding infrastructure.
“We will continue working with the carrier on its five-year
development programme to provide bandwidth optimisation and reduce
OpEx,” Tim Peyla, vice-president of sales, Verso Technologies,
said.
The Telikom PNG subscriber-base is experiencing rapid growth, and
Verso’s GSM solution allowed Telikom to increase its mobile
network customer base from 50,000 to 120,000 with a total network
of 35 base stations in 22 locations nationwide.
Specifically, the solution had reduced congestion on the carrier’s
mobile network and doubled capacity so that 16 new mobile base
stations nationwide, plus five super stations, could be added to
the existing network.
Additional plans include adding 50 base stations that will be
rolled out by March to increase mobile network coverage and
quadruple network capacity.
