Jeff Gordon, CEO at OpenCloud l

OpenCloud, the telecoms software provider, has announced a partnership agreement with Altech ISIS, one of Africa’s leading software development houses and systems integrators.

Under the collaboration, Altech ISIS will provide local development knowledge and operational support during the deployment of OpenCloud’s Rhino platform in South and sub-Saharan Africa; ensuring the full functionality of each roll-out is fully maximised. OpenCloud’s Rhino suite comprises Telecom Application Server, Service Interaction Server (service broker) and Sentinel products. OpenCloud and Altech’s partnership allows South and sub-Saharan African service providers to enrich their legacy, next-generation and converged networks with market specific innovation that can now be developed locally.

With the growth of the popular Java language, it is now much easier to find developers with the right skillsets in local markets. This has the benefit of providing services and applications that take local cultural issues and needs into consideration. Development resource is also sourced and paid for locally, with positive consequences for the African economies.

Altech ISIS general manager Anton van Heerden says OpenCloud’s Rhino platform has tremendous power and flexibility. “It is also an open platform designed for fast and simple telecom service development. With OpenCloud’s technology, Altech ISIS is able to address a very broad array of needs for African operators.”

“Altech ISIS has extensive, proven experience in delivering telecom solutions into African networks,” says Jeff Gordon, OpenCloud’s CEO. “By blending Altech ISIS’ knowledge with OpenCloud’s flexible platforms, our partnership enables network operators in this region to benefit from local solutions that are tailored to meet the needs of the local market.”

OpenCloud’s Rhino platform provides an open, standards-based service-layer framework which enables operators to develop advanced value-added services, within a shorter timeframe and at a lower cost. Altech ISIS is able to provide OpenCloud with local development and operational support for its Rhino deployments throughout Arica.

Managing Director of Airtel Ghana Philip Sowah

Airtel Ghana has added further value to its mobile commerce product, Airtel Money, by launching the Airtel Money Market (www.airtelmoneymarket.com), an online portal aimed at providing additional channels for Airtel Money customers and merchants.  The Airtel Money Market runs on Rancard’s Rendezvous Technology product which allows Ghanaians to use social interactions and contributions from trusted individuals as a guide in their decision to buy goods online.  The online platform will enable merchants have multiple outlets in addition to opening a virtual store and stocking it with merchandise available for sale.   For potential customers that visit the money market, they can window shop, as well as, compare prices from different merchants all from the comfort of their home or office.

Speaking at the launch of the Airtel Money Market, Managing Director of Airtel Ghana Philip Sowah said the launch of the online store falls in line with Airtel’s quest to introduce onto the Ghanaian market innovative products which customers will find beneficial to their daily lives. “The Airtel Money Market is just another addition to the many other packages that we have added since the launch of Airtel Money. As you know our customers are able to contribute to their investment portfolio, we have insurance packages and of course the payment of utility bills including DSTv and the convenience of linking bank accounts to the Airtel Money platform as some of the many benefits derived from Airtel Money”, Mr. Sowah.

Director for M-Commerce at Airtel Ghana, Kola Sonola explained that the rationale for creating the Airtel Money Market among others is to increase the channels for Airtel Money customers to do more with the service whiles positioning Airtel Money as an easier payment solution for online shopping. Mr. Sonola added that the creation of the online shopping portal will help merchants with cash mobilization and also increase self-initiated transactions. Explaining how Airtel Money Market works, Mr. Sonola said “the process is simple, much like making purchases though recommendations on a regular social commerce website. When a user checks out of the virtual store after making all their purchases, they receive an SMS message asking for a confirmation of the order and payment amount. Once the user selects send, the money is transferred to the retail vendor, and the user receives another text message with a purchase code. This purchase code is then used to identify and pick up their order from the merchant”.

The Managing Director of Rancard, Kofi Dadzie said the possibilities for Airtel Mobile Money/Airtel Money Market using Rancard’s Rendezvous product to create new markets by making social commerce available through online merchant portals is endless. It gives the African consumer an opportunity to buy products based on viable recommendations.  “Africa’s growing middle class provides a burgeoning market that can be energized to create greater demand in online shopping through social recommendations – this is what Rendezvous extends with the world of social commerce”, he said.

According to him, the big picture for Rancard’s Rendezvous product technology is the unleashing of social commerce, a natural form of driving sales in a connected and mobile environment. Rancard’s PayApp is a gateway that extends Airtel Mobile Money with online purchasing capability providing a complete solution that commences with social commerce enabled by Rancard Rendezvous.

Silverbird, Appliance Masters, Compu-Ghana, Sunshine Salad Bar, Crossroads Restaurant, ticketdoug.com, Office Connexion and Niobe Salon & Spa Limited have so far signed onto the Airtel Money Market. Interested merchants may contact airtelmoney@gh.airtel.com to be enlisted on the portal.

My only wish is that the authorities should put in place all the necessary infrastructure s to make life conducive for all. On the business side, revenue share with the mobile network are not favourable to us content providers and aggregators. For example you get content from someone in Asian and you want to deploy in this market, majority of the mobile operators take a very large chunk of the revenue. The content owners don’t understand why it should be that way, instead of the other way round. That is a big challenge for us.

Where do you see 70^th precinct in 5 years time?

Swedish power management systems specialist Flexenclosure brings green telecom solutions to the Asian subcontinent

Flexenclosure, a specialist provider of intelligent green power management solutions for base stations, today announced the opening of a subsidiary in India to serve the south Asian market. Flexenclosure India Ltd will offer ‘next generation’ green energy solutions to mobile operators in south Asia with the ability to drastically cut diesel consumption, operating expenses and CO2 emissions.

The new company has already started operations based in Gurgaon near New Delhi under the leadership of Mukesh Singh. Mr. Singh is formerly Head for Corporate and Business development at Nokia Siemens Networks, and has also worked for Ericsson as business manager. He has an MBA from the IHM Business School in Stockholm.

Flexenclosure India Ltd will serve mobile operators in India and the rest of the subcontinent – Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Nepal – with its award-winning advanced green power management solutions for off-grid base stations.

The E-site by Flexenclosure is an intelligent green base station site power management solution, mainly powered by renewable energy sources (sun and wind) and with an intelligent control system. E-site can bring a 90 percent reduction in diesel fuel consumption, CO2 emissions, and energy operating expenses compared to traditional diesel-based solutions.

Although focus for Flexenclosure India will initially be on the E-site, the company also supplies flexible, energy efficient, turn-key, modular data centers, heavy duty telecom shelters and mobile sites. Read more at www.flexenclosure.com.

“Flexenclosure fully recognizes the importance of the South Asian continent for our products”, said David King, CEO, Flexenclosure. “The launch of Flexenclosure India will bring us closer to our customers and help us to continue to develop the world’s most efficient power management solutions.  I have enjoyed working in India with three previous companies and I look forward to visiting such a vibrant economy on a regular basis again.”

250 E-sites sold to Airtel Nigeria

In the last few years, Flexenclosure has made great inroads in another emerging and rapidly growing telecom market: Africa. The company recently supplied Indian telecom giant Airtel’s African operations with 250 units of E-site to upgrade diesel powered base stations in Nigeria to make them greener and less expensive to operate. Airtel is the world’s fifth-largest telecom service provider with operations in 19 countries across Asia and Africa serving over 223 million customers.

”The E-site is especially suited for south Asia since electricity supply is unreliable and intermittent here, especially in rural areas”, said Mukesh Singh, CEO, Flexenclosure India Ltd. “One third or rural India lacks electricity. With sun and wind powering base stations, mobile operators can make rural expansion more profitable. We are building on the success in other markets like Africa where our solutions are well established and proven. With ever-increasing fuel prices, the possibility to power base stations with free renewable energy is a tempting prospect.”

Flexenclosure recently won the 2012 Green Mobile Award for its E-site solution at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. The jury handed The Global Mobile Awards to Flexenclosure for E-site being “current, practical and cost-efficient. The solution helps to alleviate issues around radio base station power availability and also deals with environmental preservation.”

Flexenclosure India Ltd is a joint venture with the Indian industry conglomerate Artheon. Flexenclosure in Sweden owns 51 percent of the new company.

Leading Telecommunications Services Provider, Airtel Nigeria  has been ranked the best operator for good quality of service by the Nigerian Communications Commission based on the Commission’s Audit Report for March and April, 2012.

According to the results published on the NCC’s Corporate Website, Airtel Nigeria recorded impressive performances when compared with the commission’s target on four crucial parameters namely Call Set-up Success Rate (CSSR), Call Completion Rate (CCR), Drop Call Rate (DCR) and Traffic Channel Congestion (TCH).

The tests showed that of the four major GSM operators in the country, Airtel recorded the best performances in Call Completion Rate (CCR) and Traffic Channel Congestion (TCH) in the period and high ratings on CSSR, an indicator that measures the ease in which calls are established or setup just as it rated the company high on DCR, a metric that captures an operator’s ability to retain call conversation when it has been established or set up.
