Huawei secures KPN Telfort contract

Telfort, a unit of Netherlands' largest telco KPN has contracted Chinese telecom equipment vendor Huawei Technologies to provide a convergent billing solution (CBS) that helps operators build an open and horizontal billing architecture supporting various networks and services.

Huawei currently supplies the KPN Group with extensive transmission and all-IP based core network products. With the convergent rating, charging and billing infrastructure powered by the Huawei CBS, Telfort can significantly shorten its service delivery cycle for 2G and 3G services, Huawei says.
