Maximize Network Resources

As mobile internet devices proliferate, so do mobile applications, driving further the consumption of mobile data and contributing to the explosion of data traffic.

Managing access and payment for services and applications gives operators an opportunity to close the gap between revenues and costs.

Openet enables operators to control costs of service delivery and improve customer experience through such solutions as proactive managment of congestion, optimized video delivery, enacting offloading rules.

Fair Usage enables operators to better match revenues with network utilization and protect quality of service by enforcing data volume caps. Furthermore, the solution enables plans to be attractively priced to appeal to different segments, influence subscriber behaviors, address network specific conditions, create device specific plans, and enforce usage conditions (e.g.restricting certain applications).

Tiered Service Controls enable operators to intelligently manage network growth, more effectively meet subscriber needs, and better match revenues with network utilization by creating data plans in line with the consumption needs of different user segments. The solution allows them to dynamically manage subscribers, and create data plans based on tiers of volume, speed, applications, and a range of customizable variables.

Service Passes enable service providers to provide more data plan options to customers and capitalize on those less likely to commit to contracts by offering one-time or recurring data access for a limited period of time, volume of data, number of events, or for specific applications. Supporting multiple payment types, the solution provides real-time service authorization, access, and session management.

Predictive Congestion Management helps operators to give subscribers the best possible quality of experience by proactively predicting and dynamically addressing network congestion issues. In a congested area, the solution is also able to combine subscriber entitlements (e.g. high priority) with service awareness (e.g. low priority routine activity) to prioritize network requests according to the resources available.

Intelligent Video Management allows operators to dynamically control video traffic by leveraging existing investments in policy, charging control and video optimization infrastructure. This solution allows service providers to co-ordinate policy decisions across multiple policy enforcement points, to intelligently identify and prioritize video content when necessary and to give customers the appropriate quality of experience.
