Chilean cable firm moves into mobile

Attention: open in a new window. PDFPrint

One of Latin America’s largest telecommunications companies, the Chilean firm VTR, is entering the mobile telephony market. The cable operator, which already provides broadband, fixed-line and cable TV services, has selected Open’s SmartFlex B/OSS platform to support its endeavour.

Open will accompany the entire implementation and market rollout processes of the mobile telephony services of VTR, which will be offered to more than 5 million potential customers in a market with a cellular telephony penetration of 103%. The platform was chosen as it does not require solutions to be integrated, allowing for a faster rollout of products.

“Our convergence, flexibility and agility proposal will allow VTR to integrate all its services into a single B/OSS system. This will become a key factor in initiating cellular telephony services and becoming consolidated as one of the most important Latin American telecommunications sector companies,” Hernando Parrott, Open Vice President for Business Development, stated.
