Webswell has launched Openreach WLR3 integration platform as a hosted solution

July 3, 2008 - PRLog -- London, UK –- Webswell Europe has launched a new hosted portal service that allows Communications Providers (CP) to migrate onto the BT Openreach WLR3. By 2010, all Communications Providers are required to migrate to WLR3 platform in order to make the wholesale line rental services automated and transparent. While larger CPs will build their WLR3 gateways integrated with the back-end systems (functionality covered by Webswell telConnect and Webswell telConnect Enterprise), smaller CPs may face the problem of financing the licenses, deployment, integration and maintenance of such gateways. The Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) will be relatively high taking into account smaller traffic they usually generate. The WLR3 Gateway as a hosted service can reduce significantly the TCO while providing high availability of service and guaranteed maintenance.    

The Audience

- Small to mid-sized Communications Providers who can't afford or do not need, for any reason, the in-house fully integrated WLR3 Gateway
