VAS enabler, Acision announced that India’s Tata Teleservices (TTSL) has selected its solutions for the operator’s messaging and charging services requirements.

As part of the contract, Acision will deploy its Acision SMSC, Acision MMSC, Acision Business Tools, and Acision’s mobile data charging solution. The solution will support TTSL’s CDMA as well as GSM subscribers.

The new deal is extension of the business association between the two companies since 2004. It involves capacity expansion on the Acision SMSC and Acision MMSC, with the aim of increasing Tata’s text and multimedia messaging traffic volumes by up to 90%.

Moreover, TTSL will also have the ability to view information and report on data usage and performance across all its messaging services with Acision Business Tools.

Acision’s real-time charging solutions will enable TTSL to reduce exposure to revenue leakage and secure the network against the threat of prepaid fraud.
