Tata Communications has launched a cloud-based policy management solution ?The hosted policy engine? for mobile network operators (MNOs).
The solution helps MNOs to move beyond flat-rate data packages to deliver targeted data service offers for new revenue streams. Based on the subscriber usage patterns across 2.5G, 3G, 4G and Wi-Fi networks, the hosted policy engine enables traffic optimisation and monetisation in real-time.
Commenting on the launch, John Landau, senior vice-president, technology and services evolution, Tata Communications, says, ?Mobile operators are under increasing pressure to maximise return on investment on the mobile broadband solutions they deploy for their customers. But the sheer complexity of the mobile environment can mean that managing these services is overwhelming both in terms of volume of transactions and scale of investment needed.?
He further adds, ?Our goal with the hosted policy engine is to provide a pre-integrated best-of-breed policy engine that delivers economies of scale for MNOs through our cloud-based approach. It offers the benefits of market leading solution components, but with significantly less capex investment.?
