COLUMBIA, Md.-Tecore said it plans to deploy its AirCore platform prepaid solution in Nigeria
for cellular operator Bourdex Telecommunications.
The Tecore system will connect to Nitel, the public switched
telephone network, and will interface to Bourdex Telecom’s existing Advanced Mobile Phone Service cellular network.
Bourdex Telecom is licensed to provide service in nine southeastern states of Nigeria, which comprises about one-third
of the country, said Tecore.
The AirCore platform is a multiservice switching system for cellular and personal
communications services networks in small- to medium-sized, rural and emerging markets, said the company.
The
prepaid functionality can be integrated into the AirCore platform or purchased as an adjunct platform. The system
provides real-time call rating and debiting, notifies subscribers when they are approaching their limit and automatically
terminates calls when the customer’s account has been depleted.
