EAGAN, Minn. -- EyeBill, a provider of billing and customer care solutions for telcos, VoIPs, and ISPs, and MERA Networks, a supplier of forefront VoIP technologies for resilient peering of packet networks, have joined their efforts and experience to provide the VoIP market with turnkey enterprise level solutions. In the framework of their partnership, EyeBill and MERA have carried out joint testing of the MERA VoIP Transit Softswitch (MVTS) and EyeBill’s billing platform to confirm their interoperability and fault-proof operation.

The EyeBill billing platform is fully compatible and shows remarkable results in its integration with MERA’s MVTS. Deployed together, both solutions offer clients a powerful, turn-key VoIP platform allowing them to provide different business models and services. MERA’s solution quickly and easily provides reliable and secure connections and call completion ratios, while the EyeBill billing platform proceeds with accurate authentication, authorization, billing, and precise call monitoring. This is a winning combination that every VoIP carrier needs in order to provide high quality, reliable VoIP services.

The EyeBill platform covers all business models within the telecom industry, including prepaid, postpaid, and wholesale scenarios. The interface of the platform is web-based and can be used by companies with offices in different geographical regions without the need for additional software. The system provides flexible ratings, assignment of personal modifiers, and day masks, and supports limited credit, debit, and credit types of clients. The system’s reporting modules provide a wide range of customizable reports. Another important feature is the Carrier Management module, which provides daily statistics about carrier-to-carrier or provider-to-provider traffic, least cost routing, and real-time settlement.

“The partnership with MERA Networks will enrich the Eyebill palette of products for VoIP operators with a reliable softswitch platform fully interoperable with the Eyebill billing products,” said Anton Gavrailov, Business Development Manager at EyeBill. “We chose MERA as our softswitch partner because its dependable, feature-rich, and affordable products are so well accepted by the market. Other criteria that determined our choice were flexibility and sensitivity to new market requirements, low TCO, platform stability, and technical support from the vendor.”

The MERA VoIP Transit Softswitch is a full-featured softswitch/session control solution deployed as the focal point of VoIP networks to ensure reliable and secure peering. The advanced signaling and media interworking capabilities enable the MVTS to connect otherwise incompatible networks and equipment while maintaining mission-critical Quality of Service. Furthermore, an intuitive GUI utility makes the administration of the MVTS easily accessible to even non-technical staff.

“We are excited to partner with EyeBill joining our efforts in the VoIP market,” said Natalia Korobkova, Marketing Director at MERA Networks. “The joint softswitch/billing solution will maximize the value of carriers’ investment and provide them with new opportunities for business growth. MERA’s partnership with EyeBill underlines our commitment to provide our customers with an innovative, turnkey solution with proven features and quality.”
