GTS Central Europe provides integrated telecoms solutions with its own fibre-based network in Central Europe. Its Hungarian subsidiary is preparing to launch a range of double play and IP Centrex packages for its operator and business clients with the intention of attracting 20,000 new customers within 12 months of launch. To fulfil these requirements, GTS Datanet needed a carrier grade platform capable of offering full class 5 voice features.
GTS Datanet strategy, according to CEO Geza Szathmari, CEO, is: "to increase market share with all customers - residential, business and carrier clients - by offering attractively priced advanced telephony solutions. We needed a softswitch able to provide all traditional TDM functions as well as new IP based services."
Jean-Pierre Dumolard, General Manager of Thomson?s Network Intelligence Solutions commented: "Broadband subscriptions in Hungary are rising rapidly, with a 60% increase registered by the Hungarian telecoms regulator National Communications Authority (NHH) in 2005 alone. This, combined with the recent introduction of telephony unbundling legislation in 2004, means there is a high potential for Voice over Broadband services in Hungary."
