Comptel and Long Term Evolution (LTE)
The next phase of mobile broadband will be based on Long Term Evolution (LTE), promising high bandwidth, low latency connections – and exciting new customer experiences.
We anticipate that subscriber migration from 3G to LTE will reach critical mass in 2013, or even earlier in some advanced markets. This means that required changes need to be implemented into Operations and Business Support Systems (OSS/BSS) now.
Comptel has built its solution portfolio to help communications service providers (CSP)s transform their technology investment into profitable business, focusing on:
- Delivering LTE services, products and packages with Comptel’s Fulfillment solutions
- Balancing charging policies and resource allocation with Comptel’s Control and Charge solutions
Creating and Delivering New LTE Services
LTE will make true mobile internet a reality. New services, packages and charging models will need to be introduced fast, requiring product management tools that can largely automate the creation of products and the allocation of charging models.
- Comptel Catalog provides a high level abstraction of product and service component hierarchies and is integrated with fulfillment to enable automatic configuration of services and network elements.
- Comptel's Control and Charge solution allows sophisticated charging rules to be combined with the real-time application of network and business policy. This allows the utilization of scarce network resources to be optimized, and revenue to be maximized, while maintaining a consistent level of service quality and customer satisfaction.
Using Policy Control to Manage Resources – and Customers
Policy Control is an essential part of the LTE architecture, integral to all network transactions. While the prime application of Policy Control in 3G environments is fair usage control and simple bandwidth management, the focus is rapidly shifting to more business-oriented applications.
- Comptel Control and Charge enables easy management of mobile broadband services and fully supports transformation to LTE, offering Policy Control integrated with Online and Offline Charging and a Subscriber Profile Repository (SPR) for closer management of the customer and his or her services.
Opening Up Possibilities for the Future
As we move into the fourth generation of mobile networks, Comptel's Dynamic OSS will support the changing role of telecommunications companies and help them respond to the demands of a new and fast-changing communications environment - turning new technology into new revenue.
