Argent Rolls Out Converged Billing & Gprs For Liberia On Huawei
Argent Networks Deploys Billing Solution in Liberia on Huawei Network
Auckland, 9 February 2007 – Leading technology and telecommunications solutions company, Argent Networks, today
announced that it has deployed its Eclipse real-time data billing solution to Libercell, Liberia’s national
telecommunications provider.
ArgentEclipse™ is a fully convergent solution and will provide Libercell with prepaid and post-paid billing, single
rating and CRM to mobile, fixed line, and value-added next generation services and will operate on a network supplied by
Huawei Technologies.
ArgentEclipse™ will have dual interconnects to both the existing Ericsson MSC and the new Huawei MSC providing 2.75G
Edge billing for real-time convergent prepaid and postpaid subscribers using the ArgentEclipse unified rating engine.
Larry Barker, CEO of Argent Networks says that with more than five times the number of mobile phones to fixed lines and
increasingly more convergent data being used by Libercell’s many customers, Liberia is set to continue its rapid growth
in its telecommunications networks.
“The ArgentEclipse™ real-time data billing solution will be rolled out across all of Libercell’s mobile, broadband, and
next-generation network (NGN) services based on a Huawei platform,” says Barker.
Barker says that Huawei, China’s leading state-owned carrier provides next generation telecommunications networks, and
has built the platform for Liberia’s telecommunication infrastructure to expand on the current Ericsson network.
“We have worked with Huawei elsewhere in the world including Africa and they are a leading telecommunications player
with a commitment to building innovative and customised network products so we’re sure the deployment of Argent’s IN SCP
and real-time data billing for Libercell will provide Liberia with a solution that will create long-term value.”
