Nokia announced that its Converged Charging software solution has been selected by Hrvatski Telekom to help the Croatian operator modernize on-line charging and better harness network monetization opportunities that can unlock new revenue streams.

The deal expands Nokia’s partnership with Hrvatski Telekom, which already uses a variety of other Nokia products, including its Voice Core and other software applications.

NCC gives communication service providers more control over their software applications environment while increasing time to market in a cost-effective manner.”
