Excel and Compro Partner
Compro to Create Next-Gen Service Suite on Excel Platform

HYANNIS, MA and FORKED RIVER, NJ (Aug. 2, 2005) Compro Technologies has joined Excel Switching’s partner program to deliver turnkey prepaid solutions.

As an application partner, Compro will develop feature-rich prepaid applications on Excel’s CSP 2090, and its extended family of “AnyGen” service creation platforms. These prepaid applications will offer carriers the ability to identify specific customer segments with targeted, differentiated features to attract customers and generate revenue in any network environment. Applications in development include calling cards, tandem, and tandem DB.

“As more carriers migrate from existing TDM-based networks to VoIP, the importance of providing new services along with SS7 signaling capabilities is critical,” said J.C. Murphy, president, Excel Switching Corp. “The costs of call handling, ease of integration and interoperability issues associated with converging networks can be substantial.”

Tom Lowe, chief technology officer, Compro Technologies, said, “Our joint prepaid solutions will allow carriers the ability to go into any network environment with the same application, offering services that easily and cost-effectively meet market demand.”
