PARIS, April 18, 2011 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
eServGlobal Limited (LSE: ESG & ASX: ESV), a global telecoms
software vendor specializing in Mobile Money and Value-Added
Services (VAS), is pleased to announce that it will supply its
PayMobile solution to Nokia Siemens Network for installation in a
mobile operator network in Afghanistan (the "Operator"), as part of a
network expansion project to improve its capacity, coverage and
agility across the country.
Mobile coverage in Afghanistan
is now approaching 60%, an impressive figure considering that just
eight years ago there was no mobile coverage in the country. As
growth continues, operators will increasingly rely on additional
services to differentiate themselves. PayMobile offers a feature
rich suite of services which operators can capitalise on to service
an expanding market.
Through PayMobile the Operator will be able to provide top-up
services for both voucher and electronic recharge to its customers.
As part of the solution, eServGlobal and Nokia Siemens Networks can
work with the Operator to build and manage their sales and
distribution networks, which are critical in the deployment of any
recharge network, particularly in emerging markets. By allowing
multiple tiers of management the operator is able to work through a
hierarchy of agents in order to reach the street selling market.
PayMobile currently manages hundreds of thousands of agents at one
single customer site.
The continued expansion of mobile coverage in Afghanistan will also see operators needing to
service more remote locations with limited infrastructure. Both
Nokia Siemens Networks and eServGlobal are committed to addressing
these specific challenges and working with the Operator to find
solutions that fit the local needs.
"We have a long and successful history of working with Nokia
Siemens Networks and are proud to be part of this project,"
commented Craig Halliday, CEO,
eServGlobal. "PayMobile services are already in use worldwide and
we are confident that they will be an asset to this Operator."
Built on eservGlobal's extensive experience, the PayMobile
solution encompasses several modules allowing operators to grow and
enrich their offering as the market matures. PayMobile can be
adapted to address operators' mobile payment needs, from any kind
of channel, using any type of funds, including traditional and
electronic vouchers, electronic funds, cash, bank accounts or
credit cards.
