Ooredoo Kuwait has announced a partnership with Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) to modernize its charging system. The move aims to advance Ooredoo Kuwait’s capabilities in the 5G era.

The upgrade will be hosted on Ericsson’s Cloud Native Infrastructure (CNIS). It includes the deployment of the latest Ericsson Charging release and the cloud-native Charging Access Function (CAF). This will help Ooredoo Kuwait deliver advanced 5G services and unlock new business opportunities.

Ericsson Charging is a cloud-native, scalable solution. It supports real-time convergent charging, policy control, and rapid service creation. Ooredoo will now be able to create digital charging offers, packages, and discounts more flexibly.

• The solution enables monetization of advanced 5G capabilities
• It supports innovative services and differentiated 5G use cases

Ericsson’s CNIS offers a simplified on-premises cloud infrastructure. It supports both virtual and cloud-native 5G applications. It also allows container deployment directly on bare metal servers, removing the need for a virtualization layer.

Issa Haider, Chief Technology Officer at Ooredoo Kuwait, said the deployment of the latest Ericsson Charging capability for 5G Standalone will help the company enhance customer experiences and monetize its 5G services. He added it marks a key step in Ooredoo’s digital transformation.

Petra Schirren, President of Ericsson Gulf at Ericsson Europe, Middle East and Africa, said the deployment will support Ooredoo Kuwait’s service offerings and broader digital goals. She emphasized the partnership’s role in enhancing connectivity in Kuwait.

The partnership highlights both companies’ commitment to advancing the telecom landscape in Kuwait.
