Manx Telecom

Manx Telecom is the leading communication solutions provider on the Isle of Man, offering a full range of fixed line, mobile, data and hosting services to businesses, consumers, and the public sector, including world class Data Centre and hosting solutions.

Manx Telecom is renowned throughout the telecoms industry as a pioneer of new technology. In 2001, they launched Europe’s first commercial UMTS (3G) services and in 2005 were the first operator in the World to go live with a High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) network. Its Next Generation Network (NGN) is the digital backbone for the Isle of Man’s future development, and has enabled Manx Telecom to offer its business and consumer customers the ability to access and manipulate voice, data, television, and video, on one seamless converged network – the first community in the world to be able to do so.

Throughout this time, Cerillion has been an ever-present strategic partner of Manx Telecom, providing them with a complete Billing solution as they have pioneered not just new network technology, but the business models and pricing schemes these services require.

Cerillion’s convergent charging and billing technology is a key enabler for us to differentiate our services and maximise the return on the investments we have made in our fixed and mobile network infrastructure.
