NACT's Vinci Solution provides the benefits of tried and true telephony applications, innovative consumer features and scalability that future-proofs your service delivery needs within a price point that preserves your precious capital. Read on to find out how Vinci accomplishes this.

Implements Cost-Effective Scalable Applications
Vinci provides global applications such as Prepaid Calling Card, Automatic ANI Authentication, pre and post paid billing, wholesale transport and management, fraud control, and Least Cost Routing. Vinci provides all of these applications and more in a scalable solution that can be expanded to support up to 32,640 simultaneous calls via a redundant call control host and up to 80 1U MTN Gateway nodes. This configuration allows you as a service provider to start out at a capacity that meets your current needs and expands seamlessly and continuously as your business base grows.

Delivers Real-Time Operational Support
With NACT's Vinci Solution, multiple MTN Gateway nodes become a single functional unit; slashing overhead and dramatically simplifying provisioning and management tasks. Vinci's efficient processing capabilities greatly reduce costs and administration of network infrastructure such as SS7 links (or connections) to individual gateway switches. Fewer SS7 links equate to easier management, fewer points of failure, and reduced costs.

Protects Business-Critical Resources
Vinci uniformly and universally applies fraud control parameters such as usage limitations, blocked destinations or credit card recharge restrictions across all gateways. The Vinci Solution also checks potentially fraudulent activity in all gateways against all usage constraints. These comprehensive fraud control features protect the service providers by minimizing costs
incurred by fraudulent activity.

Redundant data storage of Vinci protects critical revenue-generating information such as call detail records (CDRs) and prepaid transactions. Additionally, efficient built-in data backup to tape is a feature of Vinci's control host.

The NACT Vinci Solution seamlessly links up to 80 non-blocking MTN Gateway nodes with high call capacity in minimal space. Vinci's capacity and performance delivers proven number authentication, authorization, and wholesale carrier applications, making it an extremely scalable and costeffective foundation for your business' growth.
