Comverse Helps Mobile Operators Manage Surging Data Traffic by Boosting Network Intelligence

Tools

Posted October 21, 2009

Comverse today announced the commercial availability of the Comverse Mobile
Internet HUB, with enhanced traffic management capabilities to allow telecom
carriers to better meet the challenges and opportunities presented by surging
mobile data usage.

"Today`s mobile operators need better ways to manage their data networks," said
Dror Bin, Group President of Products for Comverse, the world's leading supplier
of software and systems enabling value-added messaging and content services,
converged billing and active customer management, and IP communications.

"To support different classes of mobile data services, operators need to
establish multiple rules and policies," Bin said. "Operators also are looking to
reduce the growing network expenses and enhance the user experience through
introducing simple and intuitive data plans. This calls for one centralized tool
that will allow multi-dimensional management of the operator`s mobile Internet
service."

The Comverse Mobile Internet HUB offers a Service Policy Management layer, which
both creates rules for data traffic and enforces them in real time. For
instance, operators can use the Service Policy Manager to define tiered data
plans that could fit users` different lifestyles and needs, such as using the
mobile Internet during certain hours or limiting access to predefined Web sites.
Operators can also use the Service Policy Manager to define the desired flow
between the data services and to set appropriate user notifications when
necessary.

"With tiered pricing plans, operators can address the needs and preferences of
each subscriber while also boosting usage," Bin said. "This smart-pipe strategy
with Comverse Service Policy Manager at its lead provides much more value than
just connectivity."

More than 60 telecom carriers worldwide use Comverse`s mobile Internet
solutions, supporting more than one-third of North American mobile Internet
users. Mobile Internet HUB is part of Comverse HUB Value-Added Services,
spanning voice, messaging, mobile Internet and mobile advertising. Comverse HUB
is a synergistic framework that enables service providers to maximize their
business performance and augment their position in the market.

At the upcoming Andicom telecommunications industry conference (October 28-30)
in Colombia, visitors are invited to view demonstrations of the Comverse Mobile
Internet HUB and other Comverse products and innovations at booth No. 51 in the
Cartagena de Indias Convention Center. Meetings with Comverse representatives
may be scheduled by contacting Janice Hewins via email. In addition,
demonstrations and webinars about Comverse are available at
www.comverse-expo.com.

Also at Andicom, Comverse`s David Pickett will present, "Global Trends in Mobile
Internet Revenue Generation," during the meeting`s academic forum. His talk
begins at 2:30 p.m., Wednesday, October 28.
