Yeniseytelecom, the largest telecoms company in Krasnoyarsk Krai, has launched high-speed data services within its IMT-MC 450 (CDMA 2000) network. Supporting the network upgrade was the Convergent Business Operations Support System (CBOSS).

Yeniseytelecom, by upgrading its network, has expanded its data offering beyond its GPRS- and EDGE-enabled 2.5G GSM capabilities. The company's IMT-MC 450 subscribers can now also enjoy high-speed Internet access and data services at speeds of up to 2.4Mb/s.

Rating and service control in both networks are provided by a CBOSS solution built on the company’s CBOSSbcc (Billing & Customer Care) system. It solution enables efficient 3G support, which in turn allowed Yeniseytelecom to switch to new technologies in minimum time and without any system update costs.

"Mobile high-speed data technologies dramatically enhance our service offerings, creating exciting new opportunities for innovation, which is in line with our goal to fully satisfy every need of our customers",said Vladimir Kostjuk, IT Director at Yeniseytelecom.

For more than eight years, Yeniseytelecom has been installing a wide range of CBOSS products.

Today, in fact, Yeniseytelecom is the largest telecommunications company in the region with over 40% market share and the largest customer base. Total subscriber base is 1.5 million. Just last year, market share increased by more than 42%.

A major challenge to any company in this region is the fact a solution such as the CBOSS end-to-end IT solution requires to be operated in an area one third of the EU or five times as large than France.
