Karupa Case Study

Italian operator increases revenues through one number services delivery over VoIP.

Increase Revenues and Gain Market Share with Enhanced IP Voice Services

In the highly competitive voice environment, service providers have the opportunity to deploy carrier VoIP infrastructure to support the launch of new services for which they can charge premium rates. Service providers can quickly respond to, and gain new revenues from, customer demand for premium-rate "one number" voice services such as daily horoscopes, weather forecasts, adult chat lines, technical support numbers, telephone voting, and other pay-per-call services.

Cisco IP NGN Difference

The Premium One Number application is enabled by Cisco Signaling and IP Interconnect solutions, which provide scalable, highly available, and resilient voice and real-time multimedia session control and interconnect capabilities. These capabilities allow service providers to offer a wide range of residential, business, IP transit, and managed IP services and applications. The application's essential components include the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch, the Cisco AS5400XM Universal Gateway, and the TappS services-creation platform from Personeta. The application enables service providers to offer premium-rate one number services with web-based self care, on a scalable platform that makes it easy to manage services and create new ones.
