Annecto Telecom recently extended its usage of Oculeus’ Captura solutions and deployed the Capurta SMS system to support its newly launched SMS hubbing service.

Like most telcos, voice-over-data and OTT services have eroded our voice-based business, which has forced us to look for new sources of revenue.
Arnd Baranowski, CEO, Oculeus
The need for telcos to diversify their service offerings and revenue sources is clear and Annecto is an excellent example of how this can be accomplished.
