Telecom equipment vendor Ericsson on Monday said WIND Hellas completed its mobile packet core modernization project.
As part of the transformation and network evolution project, WIND Hellas has deployed a modern multi-access Evolved Packet Core network – including Ericsson’s Evolved Packet Gateway based on the latest SSR 8000 family together with the SGSN-MME and Service-Aware Policy Controller.
WIND Hellas CNO Nikos Babalis said: “Our mobile packet core solution is ready to serve our existing and new customer base with advanced mobile broadband offerings based on differentiated customer experience.”
WIND Hellas’ subscribers will benefit from advanced mobile broadband offerings, Ericsson in a statement.
As part of the transformation, Ericsson replaced legacy packet network systems of WIND Hellas and migrated subscribers to a single multifunctional platform suite.
Ericsson said the multifunctional platform suite can stream all related business operations and processes. WIND Hellas will benefit from mobile broadband monetization, and can offer unique data offers and promotions to enhance users’ satisfaction and avoid churn.
In addition, WIND Hellas will benefit from the reduced operational costs of a multi-access packet architecture that supports 2G, 3G and 4G subscribers with untapped ultra-fast data speeds.
The Evolved Packet Core solution enables WIND Hellas to offer new services, enhancing users’ experience and at the same time significantly simplifying operations and lowering costs.
“These are complex projects since they require the seamless transfer of existing subscribers and services to a completely new system, with extensive systems integration according to each customer’s needs and network,” said Maurizio De Dominicis, vice president and head of Ericsson in South Eastern Europe.
