Telenity's Converged Messaging Solutions Go Live in Turk Telekom Networks.

MONROE, Conn. -- Telenity (www.telenity.com), a leading provider of next generation converged services platforms and applications for communications networks, today announced that its Canvas(R) UMS, Unified Messaging System and Canvas(R) F-SMSC, Fixed-Line Short Message Service Center are commercially live in Turk Telekom, one of the largest fixed-line operators recently privatized and owned by Oger Telekom, a leading telecommunications, multimedia and information technology holding company based in Dubai. The Canvas UMS, which is one of the largest commercial deployments in Europe, serves 20 million of Turk Telekom subscribers with more than four million active mailboxes.

Both Canvas UMS and Canvas F-SMSC are built on Canvas Converged Services Platform (CSP) offering distributed architecture functionality and high scalability; and they can either be deployed fully integrated or as point solutions.

Canvas UMS supports email, voice mail, fax, SMS, virtual phone, and message information services. The initial deployment of Canvas UMS supports 9,860 voice channels and is easily expanded to 34,560 by only a software license upgrade. Canvas F-SMSC supports short messaging in fixed-line networks, as well as, between fixed-line and wireless networks and it provides legacy telephone support through Text-to-Speech capability.

"Turk Telekom first chose Telenity for our advanced Canvas UMS solution. When they also decided to offer fixed-line short messaging services, they did not have to search far", said Dilip Singh, CEO at Telenity. "With our underlying converged service delivery architecture already deployed in their network, we were able to expand their existing UMS infrastructure with fixed-line messaging capability cost efficiently and with time-to-market".

"Messaging--SMS, MMS and UMS--is and will continue to be one of the most lucrative value added services to increase ARPU and reduce churn," said Serif Beykoz, General Manager at Telenity Europe. "The commercial deployment of Canvas UMS and F-SMSC will ensure that Turk Telekom can very effectively compete with its wireless competitors and offer its subscribers innovative services such as the three new end user services they recently announced - Voice Mail, Family Card, and Fixed-line SMS."

"Fixed network operators around the world are struggling with how to compete with wireless operators and increase service revenues while lowering costs," said Paul Doany, General Manager at Turk Telekom. "Telenity came to us with new ways of thinking about IP technology which create a network fabric that ensures we can compete very effectively with wireless service providers. Telenity's converged services architecture presents a strong business case that will potentially enable greater traffic and revenues for us while it provides integrated messaging capabilities and the ability to create and deliver new innovative services to our end users."
