Aepona
Headquartered in the UK with regional offices across the world, Aepona is at the forefront of the evolution towards better, more service-rich communications networks. The company is a leading provider of application-led products and expert services to telecommunications operators globally, allowing them to rapidly deploy profitable new services across fixed-line, mobile and SIP/IMS networks. Aepona possesses a unique combination of expertise in both telecoms infrastructure and IT, and its solutions have been chosen by Tier 1 operators such as France Telecom/Orange, KPN, Sprint, E-Plus, Vimpelcom, Eircom and Bridge Mobile Alliance.

Aepona’s solutions enable operators to adopt new business models, combining externally-hosted with network-resident services to unleash the full power of their networks. Based on standards such as OSA/Parlay, SIP and Web Services, Aepona’s Universal Service Platform allows service creation and implementation to be carried out within the Service Network, independent from underlying network resources. This means that new services can be developed and readily deployed in multi-vendor environments, increasing innovation and reducing time to market. The Universal Service Platform hosts Aepona’s own suite of ready-to-deploy applications as well as those developed by carefully chosen partners, and has been pre-integrated with a broad range of network platforms from the major network equipment vendors.
