Inter-mediatE Wireless
The world of wireless telecommunications continues
to expand rapidly. New ways of delivering service, highly heterogeneous
network technologies, and increasingly sophisticated services and customers
demand Operational Support Systems capable of capturing and processing this
information. Convergent Mediation for mobile, 2.5G, 3G, and IP networks is the
most critical component of any carrier’s Operations and
Business Support Systems.
Inter-mediatETM from Intec Telecom Systems is the world’s most scalable,
flexible, and powerful convergent mediation system with the proven ability to
gather, process, and distribute usage data from any kind or size of network.
Its distributed, component-based architecture adapts rapidly to your business
needs, delivering the highest quality of information to your downstream
systems. Best of all, Inter-mediatE is installed and working in over 150 of
the world’s busiest mobile, fixed, 3G and IP networks.
BUILT TO HANDLE COMPLEXITY
Inter-mediatE provides the critical functions of convergent mediation required
in the wireless networks of today:
- Using plug-ins as collection agents, the Data Acquisition Portal captures data from any network element.
- The Business Processing Framework provides an environment where both basic and complex business rules can be implemented.
- Inter-mediatETM eliminates vendor dependence found in most solutions.
- The Data Distribution Portal also uses plug-ins to move data throughout the business.
SCALABILITY AND PERFORMANCE
The arrival of broadband wireless services has massively increased the burden
on mediation platforms in 2.5G and 3G networks. Data acquisition from many
different network elements, and large volumes of information are just two of
the problems. Inter-mediatE is not tied to any single billing model.
Scalable applications are critical. Inter-mediatETM addresses these
challenges with Smart Distribution, a software architecture that allows you to
combine centralized and distributed platforms. Using Smart Distribution,
Inter-mediatE benchmarked 12 billion network events in 10 hours on a single HP
Superdome server.
SOLVING INHERENT PROBLEMS
Duplicate data and partial events are a common cause of revenue leakage in
mobility networks and are amplified in 2.5G and 3G implementations.
Inter-mediatETM equitably addresses these common issues through
the Duplicate Manager and the Correlation Manager to assemble Next
Generation Network data into high-quality records - even in high volume
environments.
MIGRATING DIVERSE NETWORKS AND SYSTEMS
Inter-mediatETM presents a distinct solution for a provider’s consolidation
efforts supporting mergers, network build-outs, and technological
evolution to IP, 2.5G, and 3G services.
Operators who have undergone mergers and acquisitions are encountering the
staggering realization that they must manage multiple Operational Support
Systems, particularly their mediation systems and processes. In many
cases, the operator discovers that each Line of Business or service
creator, who assumed platforms that produce non-traditional formatted
data, require unique mediation platforms.
With the introduction of Inter-mediatETM and its distributed,
component-based architecture the need for multiple mediation platforms is
eliminated. Inter-mediatETM integrates without regard to the network vendor,
the interface, the protocol, or the format of data.
Benefits Realized:
- Increased revenues
- Eliminates leakage introduced by disjointed systems and processes of legacy architecture
- Rules based mediation enables swift product implementations
- Reduced operating costs
- Fragmentation of system administration eliminated
- Minimizes resource requirements for data acquisition and mediation
- Significantly reduces maintenance costs
ROAMING
As wholesale roaming agreements become increasingly complex and
competitive, and evolve as interconnect agreements have, it becomes
indispensable for the mobile telecom operator to be able to manage them
within the operator’s wholesale billing system.
Inter-mediatE offers a powerful and flexible solution designed to meet and
support the needs of international and domestic inter-operator roaming
settlements of GSM and non-GSM (e.g. operators using CDMA/TDMA technology)
mobile operators across the world. Inter-mediatETM supports
both the TAP and CIBER formats and has the flexibility to reformat the
records for delivery to your settlements systems or provider.
NEW REVENUES WITH
EVOLUTION TO THE NETWORKS OF THE FUTURE
As users demand more services (and thus more bandwidth) the need for
real-time unified event processing has intensified. General Packet Radio
Service (GPRS) and Universal Mobile Telecommunications Systems (UMTS)
networks require that information is collected from the Serving GPRS
Service Node (SGSN) and the Gateway GPRS Service Node (GGSN) so that the
usage of the broadband mobile network can be accounted for.
The interface to the GGSN and the SGSN requires the use of the GPRS
Tunneling Protocol (GTP). Non–GSM networks are evolving to 1xRTT and
W-CDMA to provide similar services from a different network technology.
MMS
Multimedia Messaging Services (MMS) are the future for message services in
both GSM and UMTS networks. They provide network operators with a major
revenue stream for content-based services. MMS with its text, picture,
audio and video offerings is the natural progression from Short Messaging
Service (SMS) based product offerings. The challenge facing the network
operator is to deploy services that are widely utilized by mobile
subscribers and hence provide the operator with a rapid return on
investment.
Inter-mediatETM, among other benefits, provides for support of
proprietary vendor MMS data formats, identification of reverse charging
MMS events and delivery to both retail and InterconnecT billing for
customer charging and reconciliation with content providers.
Operators are becoming the focal point for content-based MMS services
selected by subscribers at the same time as their basic mobile service.
Rapid activation of subscribers on the MMSC is required to ensure MMS is
instantly available to new and existing subscribers. Intec’s
Inter-activatE is ideally suited to this integration.
M-COMMERCE
Wireless providers did not build 1xRTT/CDMA2000/ GPRS/UMTS for voice!
Content based services mark a significant shift in the role of the
communications operator. The expertise and knowledge of the product or
service is no longer in-house. Content products and services are best
provided by Content Partners whose core business is built around creating
and managing such content.
In order to maximize this revenue generating opportunity, you need the
right infrastructure. Inter-contenTTM from Intec Telecom
Systems is a new solution designed to meet these goals. Inter-contenT
enables fast, accurate revenue generation from services such as music,
video and image downloads and streaming, mobile gaming, multi-media
messaging, and mobile payments.
Within this solution, Inter-mediatETM maximizes the wireless
provider’s ability to leverage their content and 3rd party partner
offerings through its capability to facilitate delivery of the content,
provide a payment mechanism, and interface with core enterprise systems.
Coupled with Intec’s InterconnecT settlements system, the service provider
is enabled to execute revenue sharing with content partners, resulting in
a complete solution for managing content.
WI-FI
Intec readily supports the growing interests and revenue potentials of WI-FIs.
Inter-mediatETM collects and processing usage events and passes
settlements data to InterconnecT, interfacing the provider’s roaming
system and accounting systems.
