Monetize mobile network infrastructure and digitize assets
IoT/M2M |
The Challenge
IoT/M2M is a growing B2B/B2C market that allows CSPs to further monetize existing mobile networks and collect additional revenue from emerging wireless services. However, similar to the Wholesale and B2B2x markets, providers must have a BSS capable of handling the scale and complexity of IoT/M2M in order to seize this market opportunity. IoT-specific requirements include the ability to handle complex frame agreements, handle large postpaid usage charges, produce complex bills and invoices, and manage settlements. In addition, IoT requires tighter cost efficiency of the underlying infrastructure and the supporting systems, since the revenue from each individual IoT service is very small.
The Solution
CompaxDigital BSS is a proven solution for IoT/M2M with out-of-the-box capabilities, including the ability to manage exceptionally large bills and invoices (tens of millions of subscribers), complex account structures, volume-based discounts and penalties, resources and number management, complex inquiries and settlement management processes, flexible invoice data delivery, and so on.
In addition to the main functional components required for the IoT solution, CompaxDigital also provides a unique multi-tenant deployment, available both as public cloud, private cloud, or on-premises, which enables efficient and agile management of the large IoT customers, allowing them to be added as tenants on an environment that shares the same infrastructure, codebase, integrations, and business processes.
