Newly deployed wholesale billing, routing and trading solution from Oculeus expands business capacity of mobile service operator in West Africa

FRANKFURT, Germany, Oct. 12, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- – Oculeus, a leading provider of innovative software solutions for telecommunications service providers, today announced that the company has recently completed the deployment of its Captura NG solution for Celtiis, a recently launched mobile service operator in Benin.

Celtiis provides voice and high speed data services on a new mobile network infrastructure based on GSM and 4G+ (LTE-A) technologies. Celtiis offers mobile number portability, making it easy for customers to switch from alternative providers. The operator also provides fiber broadband service packages as well as a mobile money service.

The Captura NG solution from Oculeus gives Celtiis an intelligent framework to efficiently manage its wholesale operations and network of national and international interconnect partners for its voice and messaging services. Captura NG provides Celtiis with streamlined tools and business processes for managing its wholesale billing, routing, trading and partner reconciliation activities with full visibility and control over costs, revenues and margins.

Celtiis is a subsidiary of Société Béninoise d'Infrastructures Numériques (SBIN), a state-owned fixed line telephony operator in the West African country of Benin and the incumbent operator responsible for the country's digital infrastructure. 

Celtiis opted to deploy Captura NG as part of a strategic plan to support its recent launch of new mobile and messaging services with improved business support processes.

"We selected the Captura NG technology for expanding our business capacity and maintaining efficient operations, which has been essential to support the successful launch of our new mobile services," said Bocar Kelly, CTIO of Celtiis. "Captura NG is leading this transformation and its ability to manage the wholesale business activities for our voice and messaging services greatly improves the way we do business with our partners and provide high quality services to our customers."

Oculeus accelerated the delivery of Captura NG and deployed the solution within twelve weeks to support Celtiis' new service launch requirements.
