Telesur takes a digital leap as Squire Technologies\u2019 interworking solution goes live in Suriname<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/h1>\n

Suriname has embraced a bright, digital future as Squire Technologies\u2019 IWF (interworking function) goes live at Telesur. A growing urban population adopting new mobile technologies has helped to shape this digital transformation.<\/h4>\n

Many Surinamese have multiple mobile phone contracts, evident in GSMA\u2019s Mobile Connectivity Index, which shows a 176% mobile connection rate. The high percentage contrasts with only 29% of spectrum allocation for mobile network operators (MNOs). However, Telesur has done a lot with that spectrum, running 2G, 3G, 4G and 5G networks, and they continue to innovate. Since 2014, the country has experienced huge improvements in reducing mobile network latency and increasing coverage. In 2020, GSMA scored Suriname 85% for mobile latency and 93% for network coverage.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Recently, Telesur took steps to make further upgrades to its core network, introducing a new Business Support System\/Operational Support System (BSS\/OSS). The BSS\/OSS, part of their e-Suriname strategy, creates an e-services platform for customers, allowing Telesur to bring new offers to market quicker. The development will also support the population\u2019s increasing demand for digital technologies. However, multi-generation networks can make it hard to integrate new systems.<\/p>\n

\n

To help, Squire Technologies implemented its state-of-the-art IWF, part of the Sigla Platform, which seamlessly integrates the BSS\/OSS with the multiple generations of Telesur\u2019s network infrastructure. The IWF provides forward and backward compatibility as signalling traverses multiple networks, with comprehensive protocol support for 5G Nchf\/HTTP2 protocols, 4G\/LTE Diameter, legacy 3G CAMEL, and more. It also provides resilience through redundancy, load sharing and balancing via sophisticated on-board routing.<\/p>\n

\n

Squire Technologies\u2019 efficient deployment of its IWF has enabled the MNO to progress with its digital engagement plans and improved its strategic position. Telesur can now transform its mobile services to a greater degree and enrich customer experiences. In particular, customers can take advantage of self-service options across all of Telesur\u2019s network generations. At the same time, Telesur can easily create new offers using their BSS\/OSS and deliver them to their customers in record time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cIn recent years, the growth in telecommunications in Latin America has been great, but there are still digital gaps in many nations that need addressing. We are delighted to be part of Telesur\u2019s fantastic efforts to boost digital adoption. This technological leap in Suriname will enable many more people to take advantage of digital tools and can create immense social and economic benefits.\u201d<\/p>\n
