Ericpol Home Zone/Office Zone

Mobile penetration is reaching saturation in most parts of the world. Operators must seek new revenue streams. The majority of mobile subscribers still have fixed lines in their homes. It is cheaper they say. Mobile operators might reduce rates in order to be competitive, but they may postpone this step by introducing the Ericpol Home/Office Zone application. The service allows them to offer special call rates when the subscriber makes a call from a specified area, e.g. from home, while keeping higher call rates when the call is originated outside this area. Subscribers do not have to worry about fixed phone bills anymore.
The Ericpol Home Zone/Office Zone application may be bundled with the E-VPN and E-VPBX creating a comprehensive bundled solution for the enterprise market which meets all enterprise communication needs.
