An Alternative Roaming Solution From Argela
ISTANBUL, Feb 10/ PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --
Argela, a leading next-generation telecom solution provider, today announced their alternative
roaming solution has been launched by Turk Telekom. The service is called wireless roaming(WIRO)
and enables customers to make calls from their dual-mode handsets with Wi-Fi support irrespective
of their location, and also in the absence of a SIM card in the handset. In addition to dual mode
handsets, WIRO can be used with PC and any SIP based phone. The service is available through the
Internet and provides the users with very attractive tariffs, apart from enabling them to stay connected
even if they are abroad. Although Turk Telekom is the incumbent fixed/line telecom operator in Turkey,
WIRO removes the boundaries of coverage for the company and offers a perfect roaming solution to its
customers.
Commenting on the issue Dr. Paul Doany, CEO of Turk Telekom, said: "WIRO added the always-
carried on feature to the fixed phones. Now our customers can make calls wherever they are and they
are charged by their fixed phone tariff. This definitely reduces the cost of communication."
Mr. Bulent Kaytaz, CEO of Argela said: "WIRO, being a service developed on Argela's patented
innovation Convergence Gateway, provides real benefits to the telecom operators. It definitely increases
customer loyalty and provides a new revenue stream. We are happy to note that Turk Telekom is
getting very positive feedback and we are very enthusiastic to support Turk Telekom even further in this
convergence journey in the future."
