Belgacom International Carrier Services (Belgacom ICS) is a subsidiary of the Belgacom Group. Belgacom was the first telecommunications company in Belgium and still a market leader in many fields, particularly in wholesale and retail fixed line services, mobile communications (Proximus), and Internet and broadband data transmission services.
Over the last couple of years, Belgacom Group has deliberately seperated financial reporting of its International Carrier Services to heighten financial transparency and accountability of its activities in contrast to many of our peers. On January 1st 2005 the international carrier activities were transferred into a wholly-owned subsidiary, Belgacom International Carrier Services SA.
The company offers the best price/quality ratio to wireline and wireless operators as well as service providers worldwide. Belgacom ICS is at the forefront of the international communications industry, acting as a catalyst for growth, both in terms of traffic and reach. The aim of the company is to enable global interworking across all communication standardized services.
As a result of this approach and the joint venture with Swisscom ICS, Belgacom International Carrier Services is now one of the largest wholesale carriers worldwide based on voice traffic volumes and a world leader in mobile data transit services. Operators and service providers all over the world praise Belgacom ICS for its focus on overall quality, operational excellence and its capacity to deliver a distinctive competitive edge to customers.
Belgacom International Carrier Services serves more than 500 customers, of which over 200 mobile operators, through sales offices in Brussels, Bern, Dubai, Singapore and New York. It owns a worldwide network expanding towards Africa, Asia, Europe, the Middle East and the United States through almost 90 PoP's in 45 cities and 30 countries. In 2007 Belgacom ICS transported in total over 14 billion minutes and achieved a revenue of 1 billion Euro.
Strategy
Belgacom International Carrier Services’ strategy is articulated around three axes. The first axis is to become the market leader through further consolidation and insourcing partnerships. Belgacom International Carrier Services will continue to leverage the Swisscom reference with potential partner operators in Europe, and propose outsourcing to operators in Asia, the Middle East and Africa. The second strategic axis centres around an all-IP capability in infrastructure and services. Finally, Belgacom International Carrier Services will investigate organic and inorganic opportunities to expand the service offering to mobile operators, building on the Belgacom brand, reach and extensive customer portfolio in this segment.
