Starcomms Expands Billing Platform

Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) network operator, Starcomms, has contracted with Israel based FTS as its interconnect billing provider. Starcomms deployed FTS’ Leap Interconnect to support its growing subscriber base, and to ensure accounting accuracy of its growing interconnect revenues.
The new implementation offers Starcomms a range of interconnect services, including retrieval of mediation records from the operator’s mobile switch, rating of these records as well as generating and printing bills for Starcomms’ interconnect partners. Leap Interconnect also provides Starcomms with reporting and settlements capabilities as a result of its ability to flexibly integrate with other Starcomms applications.
“Our focus on innovative solutions was the reason for selecting FTS’ interconnects billing solution a few years ago. As we expand the reach of our network and services, and our subscriber base continues to grow, our interconnect services have become a major revenue stream. Leap Interconnect provides us with all of the billing capabilities that we need as we continue to expand, and we are pleased to be working with a trusted vendor like FTS to ensure the accuracy of our interconnect accounting,” said Hashem Sallam, Starcomms’ billing manager.
