Comverse today announced the commercial availability of the Comverse
Mobile Internet HUB, with enhanced traffic management capabilities to
allow telecom carriers to better meet the challenges and opportunities
presented by surging mobile data usage.
"Today’s mobile operators need better ways to manage their data
networks,” said Dror Bin, Group President of Products for Comverse, the
world's leading supplier of software and systems enabling value-added
messaging and content services, converged billing and active customer
management, and IP communications.
"To support different classes of mobile data services, operators need to
establish multiple rules and policies,” Bin said. "Operators also are
looking to reduce the growing network expenses and enhance the user
experience through introducing simple and intuitive data plans. This
calls for one centralized tool that will allow multi-dimensional
management of the operator’s mobile Internet service.”
The Comverse Mobile Internet HUB offers a Service Policy Management
layer, which both creates rules for data traffic and enforces them in
real time. For instance, operators can use the Service Policy Manager to
define tiered data plans that could fit users’ different lifestyles and
needs, such as using the mobile Internet during certain hours or
limiting access to predefined Web sites. Operators can also use the
Service Policy Manager to define the desired flow between the data
services and to set appropriate user notifications when necessary.
"With tiered pricing plans, operators can address the needs and
preferences of each subscriber while also boosting usage,” Bin said.
"This smart-pipe strategy with Comverse Service Policy Manager at its
lead provides much more value than just connectivity.”
More than 60 telecom carriers worldwide use Comverse’s mobile Internet
solutions, supporting more than one-third of North American mobile
Internet users. Mobile Internet HUB is part of Comverse HUB Value-Added
Services, spanning voice, messaging, mobile Internet and mobile
advertising. Comverse HUB is a synergistic framework that enables
service providers to maximize their business performance and augment
their position in the market.
At the upcoming Andicom telecommunications industry conference (October
28-30) in Colombia, visitors are invited to view demonstrations of the
Comverse Mobile Internet HUB and other Comverse products and innovations
at booth No. 51 in the Cartagena de Indias Convention Center. Meetings
with Comverse representatives may be scheduled by contacting Janice
Hewins via email. In addition, demonstrations and webinars about
Comverse are available at www.comverse-expo.com.
Also at Andicom, Comverse’s David Pickett will present, "Global Trends
in Mobile Internet Revenue Generation,” during the meeting’s academic
forum. His talk begins at 2:30 p.m., Wednesday, October 28.
