Ericsson has been chosen by leading Indonesian operator Telekomunikasi Selular Indonesia (Telkomsel) for its Mobile Softswitch Solution (MSS), including the new MSC Server Blade Cluster. The solution will provide a common core network platform for both GSM and WCDMA technology and boost Telkomsel's network capacity, performance and coverage. Ericsson's MSS will allow Telkomsel to reduce its core network operating expenses, and is the first step towards an efficient, converged, all-IP core network. It supports improved call control and network intelligence, enabling a reduction in the number and size of main core network sites. It also offers bandwidth savings, improved voice-over-IP network services, and enhanced voice quality for subscribers. This is one of the biggest softswitch network modernizations in Asia Pacific and under the three-year agreement Ericsson will also provide services including network deployment and integration.
