Mobile Providers

Are you managing the mobile Internet explosion profitably?

Demand for mobile broadband data is skyrocketing as new devices and applications are readily adopted. Operators’ capital infrastructure costs continue to grow, yet basic Internet connectivity is commoditized and price pressures drive average revenue per user (ARPU) down. Subscribers are demanding personalized plans that reflect their network usage and ensure optimized access to the applications they value most.

Sandvine’s Network Policy Control portfolio provides mobile network operators with the solutions to address these market conditions.

Usage Management

• Align service plans with subscriber consumption
• Deploy innovative pre- and post-paid billing plans
• Manage subscriber data usage in real-time and enforce action on quota thresholds to prevent revenue leakage
• Allow subscribers to adjust their plans or top-up their quotas, configure plan-specific billing periods
  

An example tiered service plan definition, based on monitored subscriber consumption, is illustrated below:

Fairshare Traffic Management

• Alleviate peak-hour cell-site congestion
• Create fair and differentiated policies to determine which traffic is most affected by congestion in the network
• Reduce churn and customer support costs via an improved and more transparent service
• Reduce future expenditures on network capacity by containing low-value demand during peak periods
• Meet customer and regulatory expectations for fair use
