Mobile data specialist Acision, in partnership with Accuris Networks, a member of the Acision Innovation Network, are partnering to provide Alltel Wireless with Accuris Networks’ OTA (over the air) solution, to enable the operator to deliver value added services such as handset activation and national and international roaming updates to subscribers. Acision plays a key role in integrating Accuris’ platform with the operator network, ensuring a smooth and flawless installation.

Acision’s deployment at Alltel Wireless, a provider of wireless services to customers across six states in the US, will enable the carrier to use Accuris Networks’ OTA platform, AccuPROFILE OTA platform to automatically activate, update and reprogram all handsets in use in their network. This includes updating Preferred Roaming Lists (PRL) to enable both national and international roaming, as well as enabling the prevention of handset cloning.

The approach enables operators like Alltel Wireless to provision devices themselves, while addressing network coverage and congestion challenges. This, says Acision, helps to reduce OPEX costs and handset manufacturing provisioning fees, while saving time and money getting new devices and services to market, and improving the user experience. 

“This Alltel Wireless deployment is validation of the power of the Acision Innovation Network, which is designed to address the needs of operators by aligning Acision’s unmatched experience in mobile data services with companies like Accuris Networks,” says Claudia Grandjean, SVP and GM for N. America at Acision. “Through this partnership, Acision is able to leverage Accuris Networks’ expertise to enable Alltel Wireless to more efficiently deliver services to subscribers, resulting in cost savings and enhanced customer quality of experience.”
