Mavenir Powers SETAR’s Caribbean Charging Transformation With Cloud-Native System

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 3 (Bernama) -- Mavenir, the cloud-native network infrastructure provider, has successfully deployed its Converged Charging System (CCS) for SETAR N.V., revolutionising real-time billing and charging operations across Aruba and Bonaire.

The transformation marks a major digital milestone for the islands’ telecom infrastructure. The cloud-native multi-tenant CCS is supporting operations for SETAR in Aruba and enables SETAR to provide a “charging as a service” solution for mobile operator KLA in the neighbouring island of Bonaire.

Mavenir Senior Vice President and General Manager for Digital Business Enablement, Sandeep Singh said by moving from on-premises dedicated hardware to a charging solution purpose-built for the cloud, SETAR can now rapidly configure new products purely via configuration, not hard coding.

“The reduced complexity, enhanced operational efficiency and accelerated time-to-market have been able to bolster SETAR’s market leadership and future-readiness, driving additional value and a richer digital experience for subscribers across Aruba and Bonaire,” he said in a statement.

Meanwhile, SETAR Chief Executive Officer, Roland Croes said: “This pivotal upgrade to converged charging across our prepaid and post-paid services now allows us to instantly provision innovative and personalised digital services to our island community customers in Aruba and Bonaire.”

Powered by Mavenir’s Digital Enablement (MDE) solution, the centralised system replaces SETAR’s legacy, island-specific charging infrastructure with a unified, multi-tenancy system.

The open and interoperable system, based on fully containerised architecture, is hosted in Aruba and generates significant capital expenditure (CAPEX) and operating expenditure (OPEX) savings by streamlining and simplifying real-time charging and billing operations.

The new charging system is now delivering real-time online and offline charging capabilities for SETAR’s complete portfolio of prepaid and post-paid offerings across Aruba and Bonaire through a single, converged system.

This transformative upgrade enables SETAR to effortlessly provide digital product suites to its subscribers and ensures next-generation mobile network readiness as the operator continues its network transformation journey in the Caribbean.
