Chicago-based WaveNation, a consumer wireless provider, selected PortaOne’s PortaBilling with an integrated softswitch as a key Mobile Virtual Network Enabler (MVNE) element of its voice and messaging service. PortaSwitch provides call completion as well as customer billing, provisioning, and self-care to the service that delivers calls, text messages, and data services seamlessly across both WiFi and cellular.
WaveNation is founded on the premise that all communication can be completed over data networks. The MVNO-based service allows voice, SMS (traditional text), MMS (picture, video, group texts), and data to be sent over WiFi where available, and a cellular network when WiFi is not available. By doing so, WaveNation not only provides best-in-market pricing to its customers, but also improved quality due to stronger connections and service.
PortaBilling is the highest combination of all available PortaOne products and technologies. Beginning with the company’s PortaSIP class 4/5 SIP softswitch, the platform upgrades the standard PortaSwitch billing and provisioning core with a high capacity redundant multi-server structure based on an Oracle Real Application Cluster (RAC) system for virtually unlimited scalability.
The PortaBilling meets all of our company’s operational requirements. Its unique advantages, combined with the responsiveness and reliability of PortaOne’s engineering support, has made it an excellent choice for WaveNation.
