Founder - The FIN Telecom Oy - fintelco.fi
Private 5G IMS at Rautalampi / Mehtiöjärvi and Hua Hin, Thailand and 6G IMM mediation - built for operators who need real billing to work, not just slides. With a bit of Finnish sisu and a smile.
🇫🇮 Takamaa = 🇬🇧🇺🇸 Backyard - literally.
My surname - In straight translation it might mean "backyard Tero J" - but I am not. - I am Backyard Tero with private cores in Finland and Thailand, not just a backyard guy.
In every Finnish village there is a Backyard Tero - the guy with a bit of scrap in the backyard, a grill shelter and always a project ongoing. My last name is Takamaa - Backyard. The joke writes itself.
But my backyard has:
- Finland HPLMN - Private 5G SA Core - P-CSCF / S-CSCF / MRF / CHF - Rautalampi / Mehtiöjärvi
- Thailand VPLMN - Private 5G SA Core - Hua Hin, Thailand - same stack
- SEPP N32-f - real-time correlation < 1 sec, 2 ms best, 15 min max
- IMS Data Channel - Visual menu on phone without voice connection - MRF-CDR via SIP Call-ID
- OCDR / TCDR mediation - binary to billable - 0% leakage
Not just a backyard - Backyard Tero with private cores. Regular Backyard Tero level is trampoline. Takamaa level is operator. Two of them.
Nordic - European - Middle East - Americas - all done at Nokia.
I have worked at Nokia across Nordic, European, Middle East and Americas regions - with operators and vendors on critical mediation and charging cases, where a small billing gap risk was millions. That is where the learning came from - how real billing is built, not just slides.
Now same expertise in two countries - Finland and Thailand - private labs online - not a simulator - real CDRs, real correlation, real billing that works.
Private networks in two countries, Finland and Thailand, running real 5G IMS cores. Not a simulator. Real CDRs, real correlation, real invoices that open as PDFs.
The FIN 5G IMS Mediation Solution was built because roaming billing was too often "almost correct". In mediation, almost correct is not correct. Either the 2 binary CDRs become 1 ASCII that is billed correctly, also for prepaid, or it is not ready.
We keep it simple: 3GPP 5G-Advanced Rel 19 frozen Dec 2025, Rel 20 6G studies, Rel 21 first 6G specs 2028-2030. Built on standards, ready for what comes next.
What we do not reveal
We have worked with major Nordic, European, Middle East and Americas operators and vendors on critical mediation and charging cases where a small billing gap risked a large infrastructure decision. Details are under NDA.
No MOU names, no dollar figures, no vendor vs vendor stories here. What matters is the method: prove it with a live demo, not with a deck. If you want to see how OCDR and TCDR become a real invoice, open the demo. That is the credibility.
Humor allowed, secrets not. We can laugh about Finnish winter and Thai heat in the same core network, but we do not publish customer confidential details.
