Many mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs) rely upon network infrastructure services from MVNEs, but actually manage their own network and any valueadded services that are deployed. MVNOs want to deploy purposebuilt retail services that appeal to specific communities, so the ability to offer targeted services and outpace the competition are key selling points. For these MVNOs, purchasing policy control as a service from Sandvine lets them benefit from our powerful solutions while operationalizing the costs involved. Solutions/System integrators (SIs) can include Sandvine’s policy control solutions in the services that they offer to CSPs, to achieve market differentiation and to introduce a new source of revenue. ClearSky Technologies, a leading provider of mobile infrastructure as a service, includes Sandvine’s policy control solutions as part of the Total Traffic Manager valueadded service. Sandvine’s solutions let MVNOs outpace their competitors and offer precisely targeted plans that more generic providers simply cannot match. Sandvine’s solutions can be deployed in any network, with any combination of access technologies, whether the network is built from traditional hardware or is going virtual. With solutions for consumer networks and enterprise providers, and across a broad range of value propositions, Sandvine can provide any system integrator with a competitive edge. ClearSky Offers Network Policy Control as a Service ClearSky, a leading provider of mobile infrastructure as a service, evens the mobile playing field with hosted network policy control For more than a decade, ClearSky Technologies has been a leader in providing hosted infrastructure to mobile operators. ClearSky’s powerful array of products and services includes hosted LTE services, traffic and policy management, small cell as a service, multi-generation SMS, MMS and mobile Internet access. Headquartered in Orlando, United States, ClearSky currently provides mobile data services to more than 50 wireless operators across the Americas who each typically serve 10,000 to 100,000 subscribers. In February 2014, ClearSky announced the world’s first virtualized network policy control offering. This important milestone was made possible by Sandvine’s PTS Virtual Series, the software-only SDN- and NFV-ready version of our Policy Traffic Switch. The PTS Virtual Series is an important component of ClearSky’s Total Traffic Management (TTM) service, which makes it easy for ClearSky’s customers to rapidly deploy customized services. With TTM, regional operators can monitor, control, and bill for data traffic to maximize revenue and minimize network congestion. While the list of possible use cases is long and varied, the most popular ones include roaming management, quota enforcement, tethered device management, fair usage, bill-shock notification, tiered access speeds, and variable charging (including zero-rating). The virtualized solution lets ClearSky provision and initiate instances of TTM on-demand, as customers sign-up for the service and at whatever scale (large and small) is required, leading to enormous efficiencies and costeffectiveness. “To compete in the marketplace, it is critical for regional carriers to have access to the same advanced technology as national carriers. We have incorporated Sandvine’s virtual PTS platform into our Total Traffic Manager (TTM) solution, so our regional carriers will have access to the most advanced Policy Control services in the Cloud with minimum capital expense. Rolling new services to increase ARPU and managing the rapid growth in data traffic just got easier.” -Dean Fresonke, Senior Vice President of Business Development TECHNOLOGIES Additional information about ClearSky’s Total Traffic Manager is available in this infosheet, available at the link below.
