WaselTelecom's operation is driven by the comprehensive convergent IT solution from CBOSS, based on the postpaid billing and customer care system CBOSSbcc and prepaid billing system CBOSSprepaid, which allows the telecom to offer its customers a much wider choice of tariffs to successfully differentiate itself from the competition.

Acting as a single supplier of the entire IT infrastructure for WaselTelecom, the CBOSS transnational corporation performed the preliminary testing of its products for compatibility with the switching hardware from Samsung used by Wasel. The flexibility of the CBOSS industrial solution and its open architecture allowed the successful completion of the testing within tight timeframes.

Using the CBOSS solution to provide up-to-date services, WaselTelecom is aiming to capture a considerable share of the Afghan telecommunications market. Internet access is going to be one of the key competitive advantages. In record time, Wasel is planning to become a leader of the mobile Internet segment, offering customers EVDO-based high-speed data services enabled and accounted by the CBOSSip Internet Platform.

WaselTelecom is to become the first Afghan telecom operator to actively promote the Internet self-care services. For this purpose, the solution from CBOSS includes the Internet customer service CBOSSics and web customer care interface CBOSSwcc.

CBOSSsms Short Message Service Center in WaselTelecom is equipped with gateways for SMS conversion to ICQ, email and voice. To offer even greater customer convenience, the functionality of SMS interconnectivity between different network technologies is also available in WaselTelecom.

The notification service CBOSSmissedCall, included in the comprehensive solution supplied, will allow the carrier to boost its traffic by 3-5%. CBOSSsplitCharging is also important for a developing economy, allowing subscribers to make collect calls or split charges in equal proportions between the called and calling parties. Similarly to CBOSSmissedCall, the solution also increases paid traffic.
