DCA Services Inc., a Platinum Equity company, at CTIA Wireless announced an exclusive partnership with Sixtra Chile S.A. to provide technology for hosted prepaid and postpaid wireless billing, account management and provisioning services, as well as intelligent routing, call validation, and IVR solutions.
Sixtra is a Latin American company with more than 15 years’ experience supplying and integrating voice and data technology for a range of markets. It also is the leading provider of prepaid wireless value-added service solutions in Latin America.
“The partnership between DCA and Sixtra will enable DCA to become a mobile virtual network enabler (MVNE), offering a robust range of wireless billing and back office solutions to our new and existing customers,” says Joe Webb, president and CEO of DCA Services. “This solution will give telecommunications companies an easy, cost-effective means for entering the wireless marketplace.”
“Sixtra is the first company to install a wireless prepaid platform in Latin America with Telefonica Moviles,” said Pablo Caram, Managing Director of International Business Development of Sixtra. “We are also the first company to deploy a Web-based self-provisioning portal for wireless services, our Account Manager Portal, which allowed seamless convergence between prepaid and post paid services. By partnering with DCA, we can bring this knowledge and expertise to the North American market.”
The new service addition, branded as DCA Mobile, will allow telecommunications providers who contract DCA for billing services to become MVNOs, enabling them to resell wireless services from carriers such as Sprint, Verizon Wireless or Cingular without investing in a mobile network or IT infrastructure. The system also allows for real time rating and provisioning of wireless services.
