Singularity wins Glemnet deal

22 November 2007

Glemnet, a leading provider of business to business telecoms services in the UK, has selected software vendor Singularity to connect them to the OpenReach network using WLR3. Glemnet specialises in the provision of converged business voice telecommunication systems and IP data network infrastructure solutions. Singularity's solution will enable Glemnet to buy and sell phone line services using the new WLR3 protocol, allowing them to compete on an equal footing with BT and the other major communications services firms across Britain and Northern Ireland. This is the fourth major WLR3 contract won by Singularity in the past quarter.

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).

After a rigorous competitor evaluation Glemnet chose Singularity's WLR3 Accelerator to connect them OpenReach, based on Singularity's deep expertise in WLR3 and their track record of successfully delivering projects to firms such as BT and Unicom. Singularity's ability to integrate quickly with Oak Telecom's billing product ABillity was also a key factor in the decision.

“We chose Singularity because of the superior technical features of their solution, and because their people demonstrated deep expertise in the issues surrounding WLR3”, said Neil Linter, Managing Director of Glemnet. “By adopting WLR3 early we expect to gain a competitive advantage and provide real benefits to our customer base”.
