Telecom Italia's German subsidiary HanseNet - which last year more than doubled subscriber numbers and grew earnings by 40% - is to launch Alice 0137, an advanced mass calling service powered by carrier-grade Telsis platforms. By using established Telsis technology and a proven network model, HanseNet expects to move the new service quickly into profit, taking a substantial slice of the German mass calling market. HanseNet's blueprint for Alice 0137 is MegaCall, the record-setting mass calling system operated by TeliaSonera in Sweden, which has been using Telsis technology and expertise for nearly 10 years. Alice 0137 will run on Telsis' advanced Ocean range of interactive voice response equipment and switches. At the same time, HanseNet is buying additional Telsis Intelligent Network platforms to make cost savings by routing calls more efficiently to ported numbers. HanseNet is aiming the service at television, radio and print media, as well as service providers. It will use Telsis Ocean fastIP advanced IVR platforms distributed across Germany, but controlled centrally. The architecture will enable huge peaks of calls to be handled without causing network congestion for other types of traffic.
