As observed in both fixed line and mobile services, many traditional telecom services are plateauing while data-related services are taking over in significance as revenue contributors.
Intense competition is another crucial factor that puts pressure on communication service providers to create more innovative data services with quick time-to-market. Investments in additional bandwidth capacity will inevitably incur major capital expenditure (CAPEX) investment and installation time. Hence, telcos often find themselves facing the challenge of how to optimize the allocation of available bandwidth resources for new services without sacrificing their subscribers' current level of user experience.
WiseSpot DPI + PM Solution is a proven solution that has been successfully implemented in both fixed and mobile networks to provide operators with a two-pronged solution to their dilemma:
- In-depth network visibility and sophisticated usage analyses enable operators to implement appropriate network control policies for clients with specific requirements. The combination of tools offers precise management of network resources without sacrificing Quality of Experience (QoE)
- Quick turnaround for creation of new value-added service (VAS) and personalized data consumption plans, enabling operators to maximize existing data revenue streams and unlock new ones by better satisfying diverse subscriber demands
