Singularity & Unicom BAU UK First 

Singularity  & Unicom First to Achieve "Business-As-Usual" (BAU), On Openreach WLR3 Platform On All 3 EMP Products

Singularity announced that they have brought their customer Unicom to "business as usual" (BAU) on the Openreach Equivalence Management Platform (EMP) for all three WLR products available on the platform, (PSTN, ISDN2 & ISDN30), and that they are the first company in the UK to do so.

Singularity achieved BAU levels last week on ISDN2 orders for their customer Unicom, part of Universal Utilities, using the Singularity WLR3 solution. This ground breaking success comes on the back of Unicom reaching BAU on ISDN30 and PSTN for WLR3 earlier this year. Singularity is the first third party integrator (TPI) to have their WLR3 solution run at BAU levels across all three products available on the Openreach EMP platform. Singularity was part of a select group of vendors asked by Openreach to participate in a pilot launch of the new ISDN2 service.

Openreach has been established since 2005 and is responsible for the UK's local access network.  Openreach provides services to UK communication providers, who buy and sell phone services to business and private customers.  In order to access these services, the independent operators need to link their internal ordering systems to Openreach, using a new standard called Wholesale Line Rental 3 (WLR3). This enables communication providers to access standard PSTN, ISDN30 and ISDN2 lines. Singularity and Unicom (Universal Utilities) are the first to achieve ‘business as usual' BAU on the complete WLR3 service.

Chris Earle of Unicom said; "We're delighted to be the first communication provider to hit this milestone. Being able to access the full WLR3 product range on Openreach is key to Unicom providing superior service and products to our customers in the fixed line marketplace. We'd like to thank Singularity for their great work in getting us there".

Nicola Porter Vaughan Openreach Head of Product Establishmen said; "This underlines that all products are now firmly established on the EMP platform.  For any communication providers wishing to migrate across to the new platform, the message is that WLR3 on the EMP is fully open for business and they should begin their migration as soon as possible".

Dr. Robert McGarry, Director of Telecommunications at Singularity, said; "Being the first to go BAU on WLR3 in its entirety is a huge achievement, as it signals that WLR3 is fully operational and ready for consumption by all CPs (Communication Providers).  We're proud to again be at the front of the pack in adding service capabilities to the WLR3 offering, and we'd like to congratulate our colleagues on the Unicom team on this joint success".
