By Telecom Lead Team: Telenity, a provider of service
delivery and location based services, announced that Turkcell has selected its
Canvas CSP.
Telenity‘s converged services platform
components will be deployed in Turkcell’s Telco 2.0 Service Provider Gateway
(SPGW). Also, Telenity provided Turkcell with Telco 2.0 enabled versions of
Service Provider Gateway and Service Control and Management Environment (SCME)
components.
The company said that the upgraded SPGW and SCME enhances
Turkcell’s Service Delivery Platform Architecture (SDPA) to support enabler
catalog management, capability exposure, and consumption of in-house and third
party enablers in ways that are aligned with emerging Web 2.0
technologies.
“Thanks to Telco 2.0 infrastructure, our corporate
customers are able to enrich their own services with Turkcell
capabilities. This is the best and the most effective solution for our
customers since they can create innovative services including mobile and its
capabilities together, deliver the right service to the right customers via
right channels, and save time,” said Selen Kocabas, chief corporate
business officer at Turkcell.
With this upgrade to Telco 2.0, Turkcell will be able to
offer its subscribers a variety of service packages that are a mix and match of
its own services along with services from third parties.
“We wanted to turn the SDPA into a marketplace of
network assets and enablers that serves the needs of an increased number of
upstream/downstream players and multi-sided business models. Telenity was a key
vendor in the successful deployment of our Telco 2.0 Service Provider
Gateway with their knowledge and flexibility of their technologies,”
said Cenk Bayrakdar, chief new technology business officer at
Turkcell.
Turkcell is the leading communications and technology
company in Turkey, with 34.4 million subscribers and a market share of
approximately 53 percent as of September 30, 2011.
