"We believe that the technical superiority of the Metrica solution in terms of ease of maintenance, customization and administration, together with enhanced features such as the report writing facility, will provide us with the right level of flexibility and scalability to support a fast-evolving infrastructure such as our new UMTS network."

"Swisscom Mobile has a long history of providing reliable, high-quality services to their customers and we're pleased to be working with them," said David Heaps, senior vice president and general manager of the Metrica group of the Software Systems Business Unit for ADC.
