Waiting for the public markets to show a little more promise for tech IPOs, Openet has today announced that it's completed a Series D round of funding totaling $21 million: $16 million in equity funds and $5 million in long term debt. Openet is a Dublin, Ireland-based developer of transaction management software used by 80 network operators in 28 countries -- including AT&T, BT, Orange, Verizon and Vodafone -- to do things like work out new ways to charge users for the amount of data they use. The round was led by NS Solutions, a Japan-based IT solutions provider that is a subsidiary of the industrial powerhouse Nippon Steel. As a result, NS Solutions becomes a distribution partner of Openet's, specifically to resell its services in Japan -- and the first customer win for the two is a biggie: the mobile operator Softbank. Others participating in the round included Balderton Capital, Cross Atlantic and Kreos Capital.
