STOCKHOLM -- U Mobile Sdn Bhd, a Malaysian telecom service provider, today announced that it has signed a five-year business support systems (BSS) transformation and managed services contract with Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC). Under the terms of the agreement, U Mobile's complete BSS architecture will be transformed into a real-time convergent environment.

The five-year managed services contract will allow U Mobile to focus its efforts on product development and at the same time have clearer visibility and more control over capital and operating expense. Upon completion of the transformation, U Mobile will become the first Malaysian operator to offer full-fledged convergent support to its subscribers. U Mobile will also be in a position to offer its customers more innovative services.

The convergent charging solution, based on Ericsson's Charging System and BSCS iX, will be deployed and integrated with the existing U Mobile infrastructure. Leveraging on the new BSS, U Mobile will expand its unique services - such as real-time promotions and notifications, product and services cross bundling, real-time cost control for postpaid subscriptions, subscriber personalization and flexible mobile wallets - which will become the key differentiators for U Mobile in the Malaysian market.
