Radius server and billing solutions provider Aradial has announced that Rwandan telecoms operator MTN Rwanda has deployed its Aradial AAA and Policy Control solution to provide Wi-Fi services to the city of Kigali.

The solution integrates with access controllers to manage Wi-Fi base stations and operates with Ericsson's intelligent network over the provisioning infrastructure of MTN to ensure zero charging leakages in the operator's pre-paid billing.

‘As a leading communications provider, we are committed to providing our customers with reliable and affordable services,’ commented Rami Farah, CTO of MTN Rwanda, adding, ‘The new solution will enable us to exercise full control over the usage of our hotspots very cost effectively, while improving our subscribers' service experience.’ The solution will allow the Rwandan operator to offer better internet connectivity to its customers, increasing its profitability while eliminating the overheads associated with customer provisioning, authorisation and accounting.
