Inmarsat Chooses CSG's State-of-the-Art Billing Platform for New
Network
ENGLEWOOD, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Inmarsat
(LSE: ISAT.L), the leading provider of global mobile satellite
communications services, and CSG
International, Inc. (NASDAQ:
CSGS), a global provider of interactive transaction-driven solutions
and services, have joined forces to support the new Inmarsat
Global Xpress service.
Global Xpress is the world's first globally available Ka-band,
high-speed, broadband satellite network for mobile and fixed consumers.
It is designed to enable seamless global coverage from a single operator
and to support consistently higher performance (up to 50Mbps) delivered
with the market-leading network reliability for which Inmarsat is known.
"Global Xpress is a game-changer," said Leo Mondale, Managing Director,
Growth Management and Support at Inmarsat. "It offers airborne as well
as land-based and maritime connectivity across a secure, global,
high-speed broadband network. Our commercial success requires robust
revenue management and billing solutions that enable us to take the
complexity out of global high-speed connectivity and allow us to support
the growing needs of our partners and customers."
CSG will help deliver those robust solutions with CSG
Singleview, CSG's next-generation convergent billing platform, and CSG
Intermediate, one of the most trusted offline and online network
mediation platforms in the world.
"Our holistic billing and mediation solution will allow Inmarsat Global
Xpress to evolve, adapt, and adjust to changing market needs while
staying far ahead of the competition," said George Fraser, vice
president of Europe, the Middle East, and Africa at CSG.
The CSG solution will create sophisticated models to manage wholesale
channel and reseller billing partners; it will also deliver the
next-generation solutions necessary to meet the complex retail billing
needs of direct subscribers. Pre-paid, post-paid, and hybrid billing
will be supported across all Global Xpress applications and content
services.
