| Openet Rolls Out its Partner Service Controls Solution Openet has announced the immediate availability of its Partner Service Controls solution for wireless, wireline and cable service providers. Based upon Openet's FusionWorks Policy Manager and Convergent Mediation products, Partner Service Controls enables operators to create new, multidirectional business models by partnering with third-party content, application and device manufacturers to deliver customer solutions which bundle access and ensure preferential network speed and quality. This allows an operator's commercial partners to optimise their individual customers' user experience while generating new revenue opportunities. As demand for IP-based services explodes, networks become increasingly congested. Operators have been addressing this challenge by offering service packages to end users that increase network speed, prioritise their traffic and eliminate volume limits. However, some consumers are not willing to pay for those increased service levels, which results in reduced performance of their applications and content. Further, many third-party providers may wish to bundle network access with their devices, applications and content to create a more seamless experience for the end user. To address these challenges, Openet has developed its Partner Service Controls solution to enable third-party application, content and device providers to forge partnerships with operators to ensure premium service and bundled network access for all end users, regardless of their service level. Key capabilities of the solution include: • Bundling network access with provider offerings to create a seamless experience for the end user. Examples of this include e-book readers, as well as vertical enterprise solutions. Openet's solution enables the operator to govern entitlement by specialised devices and support billing and settlement with the partner. • Increasing network speed and traffic priority for content or applications from the third-party partners. This ensures that voice over IP phone calls do not experience degraded quality, and that multimedia content can be delivered at a higher video and audio quality. • Avoiding data volume usage limits that exist for end user service plans for third-party partner applications and content. Openet's Partner Service Controls solution delivers these capabilities by enabling operators to granularly track usage for billing and settlement, as well as to govern subscriber access to network resources and dynamic network resource control. write your comments about the article :: © 2009 Computing News :: home page |
