Telecom operators must allocate mobile broadband access according to
business priorities and move away from flat-rate pricing plans to
accommodate the growing "on-the-go” demand for mobile Internet services,
according to two Comverse executives speaking this week at 4G World, a
telecom conference about next-generation wireless technologies in
Chicago.
"For close to 30 years, Comverse has had the foresight to develop
products and solutions for coming waves of technology to ensure
long-term operator success,” said John Bunyan, Chief Marketing Officer
of 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.
"At 4G World, we will continue that tradition by sharing our strategies
for smarter networks for mobile data and smarter systems for billing and
active customer management,” Bunyan said.
The exponential growth in mobile data traffic growth requires a
comprehensive approach to managing and controlling the traffic load,
which can also reduce the urgency to expand existing network capacity.
Providing value beyond connectivity, the Comverse Mobile Internet HUB
offers smart traffic management that allocates bandwidth based on a
network’s real-time load.
The Comverse Mobile Internet HUB also helps network operators boost
usage among current customers, as well as attract new ones, by providing
flexible pricing plans tailored to individual user lifestyles and
preferences and by speeding new services to the market ahead of
competitors.
As more advanced applications and services become available on
next-generation mobile networks, innovative pricing and billing models
are more effective than flat-rate plans to help operators maximize
revenues and improve their subscribers’ overall experience. The Comverse
ONE Billing & Active Customer Management solution, the company’s
flagship Business Support System (BSS) offering, can support these
emerging charging models, including hybrid prepaid/postpaid models,
policy-based models and multiple identities. Comverse ONE is a single
unified system that presents a consistent real-time 360-degree view of
the customer.
”We welcome Comverse’s participation in our 4G World event to present
their successful strategies for converged BSS and the mobile Internet,”
said Ashvin Vellody, Senior Vice President, Research at Yankee Group.
"Comverse’s solutions align well with our vision of the Anywhere Network®
and further fuel the 4G communication lifestyle that consumers are
striving for.”
Visitors to the 4G World show are invited to attend the two Comverse
sessions. Alice Bartram will speak about "Network Monetization
Strategies – BSS is Key!” on Wednesday, Sept. 16 at 12:35 p.m., and
Shlomi Kringel will present "Mobile Internet – Developing Smart Pipe
Strategies” on Thursday, Sept. 17 at 3 p.m.
Meetings with Comverse representatives may be scheduled by contacting christina.gustie@comverse.com.
Demonstrations and webinars about Comverse’s products and services are
