VSNL, a leading communications solutions provider, and Ascade, the
global market-leader of Interconnect Solutions, announced today a
partnership to provide Calling Line Identification (CLI) delivery
assurances to Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) worldwide. By utilizing
Ascade’s CLI Verification service, VSNL’s
offering branded as Teleglobe VTS Prime Service presently assures Tier 1
quality and CLI delivery to over 135 networks reaching 44 countries
around the world. The coverage is persistently growing as Ascade is
continuously expanding the span of the service.
Ascade’s CLI Verification service rigorously
tests, monitors and gathers reports on the CLI delivery effectiveness of
VSNL’s voice traffic and network. VSNL, in
turn, uses this information to make real-time changes to correct any
degraded CLI delivery performance, providing MNOs with high quality
termination with highly effective CLI delivery. VSNL’s
CLI assurances help MNOs boost revenues and reduce customer turnover.
“CLI delivery assurances are increasingly in
demand by MNOs around the world to boost not only their own
international call revenues but also the level of customer satisfaction
of their international roamers,” said Michel
Guyot President, Global Voice Solutions, VSNL. “Customers
utilizing Teleglobe VTS Prime and Mobile Direct
services will benefit from this partnership because our enhanced
products address the specialized needs of MNOs. Ascade’s
CLI verification capabilities complement VSNL’s
sophisticated voice network architecture, enabling us to offer our
valued customers the best quality service and products in the growing
mobile marketplace.”
