Singularity Wins Deal with O-Bit Telecom

Derry, Northern Ireland – 25 February 2007

O-bit Telecom, ranked one of Britain's fastest-growing private tech companies on the Sunday Times Microsoft "Tech Track 100" has selected leading software vendor Singularity to provide them with the new WLR3 technology to connect with the OpenReach network. 

In 2005 the UK's communications regulator OFCOM stipulated that BT must open up its wholesale services to independent providers.  In response, BT has spun off its wholesale arm into a new company called OpenReach, which will provide a ‘level playing field' to all Telco providers in the UK who want to buy and sell phone services to business and private customers.  However, before they can access these new services the independent operators have to be able to link their internal ordering systems to OpenReach using a new standard called Wholesale Line Rental 3 (WLR3). 

Following a rigorous evaluation process and beating tough competition from other UK WLR3 vendors, Singularity's WLR3 solution has been chosen by O-bit Telecom to connect them to the OpenReach network. 

"We chose Singularity because of the superior technical features of their solution, their people's unique expertise in the WLR3 protocol and their track record of delivering WLR and other solutions to leading Communication Providers", said Dave Breith at O-bit Telecom.  "Getting connected via WLR3 to OpenReach will provide real benefits to our customers and to our business".

"We're delighted to have secured the contract with O-bit" said Michael White, Head of Marketing at Singularity.  "This is the latest in a series of WLR3 deals that Singularity has won and the momentum seems to be growing".
