HP unveils two solutions for mobile operators

INDIA, INDIA: HP on Thursday announced the launch of two solutions that will enable telecom operators to provide their customers with a personalized mobile experience as they move to high-speed Long Term Evolution (LTE) networks.

The HP Home Subscriber Server (HSS) solution, which supports multiple networks, is enhanced with mobility management features that help CSPs (Communication and Service Providers) migrate smoothly from 2G/3G networks to LTE networks, while its Subscriber, Network and Application Policy (SNAP) management solution integrates real-time charging (billing) so that CSPs can apply business rules that allow personalized services and offers to customers.

In the CSP network, HSS is the primary repository of information on all customers, including personal profiles and the mobile services they use. As the master database, it helps CSPs manage network access, authentication and service delivery for millions of users.

With the integrated, real-time HP SNAP platform, CSPs can develop insightful policy and charging rules that enable personalized, context-aware offerings for customers. Such offerings can include tiered pricing plans, content packages, customized service bundles, and real-time up-sell offers.

“LTE is both a challenge and an opportunity for CSPs, as it levels the playing field for intense ‘co-opetition’ and opens the door to new revenues,” said David Sliter, vice president and general manager, Communications and Media Solutions, HP Enterprise Services. “HP is helping CSPs use their unique assets to forge personalized, loyal customer relationships that can lead to entirely new revenue streams.”
