Wireless startup LightSquared will implement Convergys Corp.’s Rating and Billing Manager to deliver what Convergys calls extraordinary transaction volumes and flexible handling of complex account hierarchies.
LightSquared, which delivers 4G services to communication service providers and MVNOs, required a sophisticated system to handle the scale and complex nature of the wholesale model. Convergys says its solution was uniquely positioned to support LightSquared’s growth in the wholesale market.
“Offering advanced 4G-LTE technology, we were looking for a rating and billing provider to understand the complex nature of the industry and have in-depth knowledge of the wholesale market," said Mahmood Mirza, VP, Client Operations, LightSquared. “The sophisticated solution proposed by Convergys, which provides us with both flexibility and scalability, is most impressive."
LightSquared offers an exclusive wholesale model to clients which include some of the largest carriers and resellers in North America. The company aims to unleash the full power of the mobile Internet, driving innovation in devices, applications and services.
“The wholesale-only business model offered by LightSquared is going to be an interesting dynamic in the industry," said Bob Lento, president, Information Management, Convergys. “Convergys Smart Revenue Solutions fit very well with the innovative direction of LightSquared and we will provide robust, best-of-breed, rating and billing support as the company expands in the marketplace."
Convergys Rating and Billing Manager, part of a suite of Smart Revenue Solutions, is a comprehensive charging, rating, and balance management system that supports emerging services.
