Sigma Systems Launches Active Mediation Platform for Subscriber Usage Data Collection
AMP helps service providers measure VoIP, TV and broadband usage, create new revenue models
NICE, France, May 4 -- MANAGEMENT WORLD 2009 -- Sigma Systems, an industry leader in Advanced IP Service Fulfillment solutions, announced today the launch of its Active Mediation Platform (AMP) for real-time measurement of subscriber usage data, resulting in increased revenue control.
Sigma's AMP allows service providers to collect and process terabytes of real-time IPDR usage data and correlate it with subscriber profile and order information in the management of voice, data and multi-media services usage from the network and customer premises equipment. Redefining the mediation space, AMP bridges the network services delivery infrastructure to the OSS/business support systems (BSS), while seamlessly insulating the way services are delivered from the way they are charged or analyzed.
Coupled with Sigma's Service Management Portfolio of provisioning, activation and fulfillment solutions, AMP enables telecom and cable service providers to measure usage of broadband data, VoIP, TV, video-on-demand, pay-per-view and prepaid and postpaid services. The Active Mediation Platform consolidates all mediation functions on to a single platform, leading to increased revenue control.
"Increasingly, service providers are finding they need to measure subscriber usage to better manage their networks, ensure accurate billing and roll out usage-based service models," said Rick Mallon, vice president of Product Management. "Our Active Mediation Platform gives service providers the ability to adhere to fair bandwidth usage policies, measure bandwidth usage and introduce new business models, such as advanced advertising."
AMP also enables tighter integration between mediation and service fulfillment, which allows for the:
-- Protection of the billing and charging infrastructure from changes in the network architecture
-- Setting of subscriber and service policy
-- Introduction of value-based charging for content by providing real-time (active) mediation between content platforms and BSS for advanced advice of charge, authentication and authorization of content services
-- Facilitation of prepaid and postpaid charging for any combination of services
-- Support of IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) for next-generation service delivery
With AMP, service providers can collect and process IPDRs for broadband network management and CDRs for VoIP and mobile mediation. For an advanced advertising solution, service providers can combine AMP with Sigma's Subscriber Information Service for audience qualification. The Subscriber Information Service is a SCTE 130-compliant advanced advertising solution.
