>WiMAX Telecom Launches Mobile WiMax Services Throughout Croatia Using Volubill’s Charge-IT
Volubill Enables European WiMax Operator to Deliver Added Value and Flexible Service Options to Meet Demands of Growing Subscriber Base

London, United Kingdom, 10 February 2009, - Volubill, a leading supplier of real-time charging, and control applications for mobile data and content services, today announced that their customer, WiMAX Telecom has launched their high-speed broadband Internet service using WiMax 802.16e technology in Croatia utilizing Volubill’s Charge-IT™ Dynamic Charging Platform.

Founded in 2004, WiMAX Telecom is a leading pan European Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) service provider with operations in Austria, Croatia, Germany, Slovakia and Switzerland. With 14,000 fixed WiMax subscribers in Austria and Slovakia, where Volubill’s solution is already in active use, the launch of the Croatian mobile WiMax service heralds the beginning of a new mobile WiMax operation.

Volubill’s Charge-IT™ Dynamic Charging Platform (DCP) offers high performance, real-time, bi-directional management of service requests between the network, service and application layers. The pre- and post-paid services being managed by the product are wireless broadband access and VoIP.

The cost-effective and comprehensive solution allows operators, like WiMAX Telecom, to prepare for the next wave of challenges:

-    Sharply scaling up subscribers and traffic without losing control over QoS/QoE or over operating expenditure
-    Adapting the service offering to mobility and a new breed of handheld and pocket devices
-    Moving up the value chain by introducing rich multimedia services with high stickiness


Peter Ziegelwanger, Chief Technology Officer, WiMAX Telecom said, “The choice of Volubill’s Charge IT™ product has been key to our strategy going forward, providing us with an ‘on the network’ charging and control solution which can be used to achieve our goals of bringing lower pricing to both home and business customers whilst bringing broadband access to places where, until now, it has been economically unviable.”

John Aalbers, Chief Executive Officer, Volubill said, “WiMax is an area within which Volubill is experiencing increasing interest. This relatively new technology requires a charging solution that will enable operators to implement sophisticated value-based charging strategies allowing them to differentiate their services through innovative packages, bundles and promotions. We are very proud that WiMAX Telecom is using our technology to push the boundaries within telecommunications, particularly now their services span three countries.”

Volubill will be exhibiting at Mobile World Congress on stand 1B18 Hall1. Come and visit us.
