Portal Software announced that Polkomtel S.A., a GSM service provider in Poland, has selected Infranet Wireless, Portal's convergent billing and customer management solution for mobile service providers. Polkomtel represents the seventh publicly announced win for Portal among Vodafone Group properties.

Polkomtel's GPRS services, the first of several services to be supported by Portal, will go live on Infranet Wireless this month. By deploying Infranet Wireless' off-the-shelf components alongside a legacy billing system, Polkomtel has significantly reduced the time to market for value-added services while avoiding the risks associated with the replacement of legacy systems. Infranet Wireless' transactional real-time capabilities, including real-time balance management, allow for prepaid and other interactive services in future deployments. Once implemented, Infranet Wireless will not only support value-added services but also potentially succeed the legacy system currently handling voice services in a phased deployment.
