KTF Deploys Oracle for Mobile Service Delivery

Oracle (ORCL) announced Monday that Korea Telecom Freetel (KTF) has deployed components of the Oracle Communications Service Delivery portfolio to create a service delivery platform (SDP) for launching new next-generation mobile services.

Using an open interface KTF can bring new services to market quickly through connections with thousands of content providers. The platform also helps KTF reduce risk and costs by delivering services on existing network infrastructures.

“Oracle has helped us establish our position as an innovator in the mobile industry in Korea and in the world. With our service delivery platform based on Oracle software, we are able to develop faster and easier data services for customers who want more than mobile services. We are moving toward our goal of becoming a communications leader in the digital age," said Byoung-Chol Choi, vice president of Korea Telecom Freetel.

KTF also is using Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database and Oracle Real Application Clusters to develop an integrated subscriber- and service-authentication system for its wired and wireless services. The system, which is updated on a real-time basis, enables KTF to process more than 60 million transactions daily at an average processing speed of one millisecond per transaction.
