Control Roaming Quality and Partner Network activities to increase revenues with the most comprehensive solution available on the market
Many Operators have growing numbers of roaming subscribers and need to protect and increase their roaming revenues. With many visiting customers and their own customer roaming abroad, roaming management departments look to deploy on-line monitoring tools and roaming intelligent systems to assure quality of international roaming service and capture the growing roaming traffic revenues.
The functional area of particular interest is VIP (High ARPU) customer management, including the possibility to define alarms and reports for particular inbound roamers. Another area is the steering of roaming, the process by which a mobile operator decides which partner their subscribers will use whilst roaming. Operators want the possibility of identifying steering of roaming activities and roaming service issues to capture and respond to new roaming trends with partner networks.
Nexus Telecom with the Cellusys alliance enables operators to receive the most comprehensive portfolio of roaming management solutions available in the market. Nexus Telecom’s expertise in monitoring and testing, coupled with Cellusys’s active signaling expertise for signaling management, allow implementations to perform in any network topology. The complementary nature of the alliance means that significant advances can be made, and the data shared can be turned into valuable roaming management information.
