Chunghwa Telecom Co., Ltd (NYSE:CHT), has selected Ericsson (NASDAQ:ERIC) as the
consulting and systems integrator of an online charging system (OCS) and policy
and charging rules function (PCRF).
The new BSS (business support systems) environment supported by Ericsson will
include a single integrated online charging and policy control solution that
serves existing and LTE prepaid and postpaid subscribers.
Ericsson's solution will allow Chunghwa to offer its existing and LTE customers
real-time control of their service usage, account balances and richer offerings

business-critical function."

that Chunghwa Telecom trusts us to drive this BSS transformation and deliver an
integrated online charging and policy control solution. Consumers and
enterprises increasingly expect transparency, control and individualization of
their online experience. Delivering on this creates an invaluable competitive
advantage for Chunghwa in a rapidly evolving marketplace."
