MALMO, Sweden, April 28, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- Teleca today announced a new contract to supply an inventory management system to MTC-Vodafone in Kuwait as part of a larger agreement with prime contractor Harris Corporation. Teleca will deploy the inventory management solution based on software from Cramer.
MTC-Vodafone in Kuwait will use the Teleca and Cramer solution to manage inventory in its GSM/GPRS network and, in combination with the Harris fault management, and ADC Metrica performance management solutions, to provide highly automated service assurance. Successful deployment in Kuwait could lead to additional commissions for operators connected with MTC in the region.
"We're pleased to note that our continuing success in delivering OSS solutions for wireless and wireline operators is bringing results," says Johan Strid, managing director of Teleca OSS. "We've been awarded this contract because we were able to present a well-integrated solution. In addition the solution is installed and customised in a pragmatic and cost-efficient way that makes the most of the best-practice experience we've gained from previous similar projects. Together with Teleca's proven ability to deliver successful OSS projects with short times to market this will bring significant business value to MTC-Vodafone in Kuwait."
The MTC Group operates in Kuwait and Bahrain as MTC-Vodafone; as Fastlink in Jordan; and as Atheer in Iraq. The Group is considered to be one of the most dynamic regional telcos with MTC-Vodafone in Kuwait, last year, celebrating 20 years in service and recently announcing its one million customer milestone against fierce local competition; whilst MTC-Vodafone in Bahrain was the first to launch a commercial EDGE and 3G service in the Middle East. The MTC Group was recently awarded the contract to take over the management of LibanCell in Lebanon.
