MOBILE WORLD CONGRESS — Portugal-based WeDo Technologies has announced the availability of BASE, targeted specifically at mobile network carriers with up to 1 million subscribers.
WeDo says BASE is a new low TCO and fast deployment tool for small operators that want to protect their revenues. With BASE Mobile Prepaid Template, WeDo Technologies offers Tier 3 mobile operators a system that in a very short time frame, and with a low budget, addresses the key issues and processes within the mobile operator prepaid revenue streams, the company said.
“Roughly one-third of the mobile operators in the world have less than 1 million subscribers and many of these still don’t have commercial revenue assurance tools," said Rui Paiva, WeDo CEO. Smaller carriers with more pragmatic attitudes generating good margins on voice and certain data services do not grab quite so many headlines, but this market has exactly the same needs of their bigger counterparts and we want to make sure we have the right offer for them."
Traditionally, the prepaid market attracts subscribers with tighter budgets and there are a wide range of prepaid MNOs and MVNOs successfully operating globally. From a broader perspective, the prepaid model is a huge success worldwide, particularly in the developing markets which WeDo Technologies expects represent the best target market for its BASE Mobile Prepaid Template.
