London, Munich, Alpha Telecom, the brand leader in the prepaid
fixed-line telephony segment in Great Britain and a subsidiary of Tele2 AB, needed to replace its legacy prepaid calling card platform with a
high-density, state-of-the-art solution that could accommodate hundreds of E1 lines. After considering an upgrade of their older equipment and reviewing leading prepaid platforms, Alpha chose ECT’s AutoCarrier® Softswitch and Prepaid Services Application.
ECT delivered the turnkey solution within several weeks and migrated the complete calling card data from Alpha’s older equipment which was subsequently taken out of service. In addition to the technical advantages of ECT’s solution, business considerations such as its short return on investment and significantly lower maintenance costs played a crucial role in Alpha Telecom’s decision. „By winning over this very important UK provider of prepaid services, we have further solidified our position as Europe’s market leader in this segment,“ says Chris Foxell, President Sales of the European Computer Telecoms Ltd. „By migrating to ECT technology, Alpha Telecom made the right choice. We are proud to be contributing to the continued success of Alpha and the entire Tele2 Group.“
