Narus mediation products selected by more tier-one carriers in Europe, the Americas, and Asia
May 15, 2003, Billing Systems Conference, London —Narus, the convergent mediation performance leader, today announced that it has been selected by KPN Mobile. KPN Mobile, the Netherlands, is the first company within KPN's Mobile Division who will be using Narus. KPN Mobile will initially be using Narus to enable value-based billing and revenue capture for both pre and post-paid services. Included in the agreement are the convergent mediation products, Narus MobileSight and Narus Prepaid Data, which allow mobile operators to increase ARPU, reach new customers, and also improve postpaid revenues.
“We selected Narus MobileSight and Narus Prepaid Data as our standard after testing various mediation products to determine the carrier-grade capabilities of different vendors in a mobile environment,” said Cees van den Heijkant, CEO of KPN Mobile The Netherlands. “Narus gives us the strategic capability for new pre and post-paid mobile services and allows us to implement these services quickly on a large scale with very low cost of ownership”.
“Narus’ selection by another premier tier-one mobile operator such as KPN Mobile, demonstrates the business value we bring to the creation of new value-based services for both consumers and business users”, said Ori Cohen, Chairman of Narus. “Our mobile mediation products have now been deployed for more tier-one services and subscribers around the world than any other mediation product”.
