Bahamas Telecom Launches Commercial Wireless with Advanced Billing and Charging Solutions, Enabled by Aptilo Networks

December 7, 2010/in Carrier Wi-Fi /by Johan Terve

First Atlantic Commerce Delivers Advanced Multi Currency Credit Card Processing Solution via Secure Payment Platform

NASSAU, THE BAHAMAS; HAMILTON, BERMUDA and STOCKHOLM – Paradise just became even more exciting as The Bahamas Telecommunications Company Limited (BTC) announced the launch of commercial wireless services through a Wi-Fi mesh network across the region, enabled by Aptilo Networks, the global leader in pre-integrated solutions for control of billing, user services and access in wireless networks including Wi-Fi, WiMAX™ and LTE. The system integration was provided by Alcatel-Lucent.

The service features advanced billing and credit card processing functionality enabled by First Atlantic Commerce (FAC), a leading multi-currency, online payment gateway and fraud risk solutions provider, to provide guests of BTC’s customers – which include major tourist destinations such as Atlantis, Paradise Island, now using the network – a superior Wi-Fi user experience that’s tailored to the needs of the customer (or venue).

FAC is a secure, PCI-certified payment gateway that offers a range of credit card processing and alternative payment options to online merchants across the globe. The company is now providing BTC with Visa and MasterCard transaction processing services, supported by 3-D™ Secure for Verified by Visa and MasterCard® SecureCode™. The objective of 3-D Secure™ is to reduce fraud through the verification of the cardholder at the time of payment in a ‘Card-Not-Present’ environment.

Alcatel-Lucent’s turnkey end-to-end wireless system integration services allow BTC to focus on its core business while leveraging Alcatel-Lucent’s expertise with complex multi-vendor networking. BTC is using the Aptilo Service Management Platform™, a field-proven, state-of-the-art system for delivering carrier-grade broadband access services in large public, semi-public and private networks. The platform facilitates easy and scalable service delivery, administration, billing control and monitoring.

“The ability to offer our customers a flexible wireless solution that’s scalable, cost-effective and fast to deploy is critical in today’s economic climate when time-to-revenue is key,” said Howard Mason, Chief Information Officer, BTC. “Alcatel-Lucent’s complete solution enables seamless, simplified installations. Combined with Aptilo’s platform which fast-tracks deployments and the advanced e-commerce solutions from First Atlantic Commerce, this was the right choice for Bahamas Telecom.”

Aptilo’s feature-rich platform allows BTC to offer their customers a wide array of options such as customized pricing plans for access to pay-for-use services, including premium levels and the capability to utilize a credit card-payment architecture tailored to their clients’ specific needs. BTC can also associate price plans to a specific location (e.g. hotel) or provide a multi-location service plan through Aptilo’s location-based and roaming features.

“Pay-for-use wireless models that deliver premium services can deliver significant revenue for today’s businesses,” said Torbjorn Ward, Chief Executive Officer, Aptilo Networks. “BTC installations are an excellent showcase for Aptilo’s full feature set, and the ability to deliver a wireless solution tailored to meet the unique needs of large-scale installations.”

Additionally, BTC can automatically process and analyze data output from the Wi-Fi service, including usage information and events, using the Aptilo platform. Aptilo also provides comprehensive Quality of Service control.
