What do you need to monetize 5G?
Improved tech stack
5G demands real-time, near-massive-scale charging and rating without ballooning costs. Ditch traditional systems and embrace modern solutions built for agility and scalability.
5G-ready business support system (BSS)
Your BSS should be future-proofed. Invest in a system that handles multiple network generations, including 5G, and supports diverse payment models. Think charging functions (CHF), converged charging systems (CCS), and seamless roaming with BCE (Billing and Charging Evolution) standards.
Cloud-native solution
Ditch the hardware headaches and embrace the agility and cost-efficiency of the cloud. Scale up or down as needed, stay flexible, and innovate with ease.
Security and compliance
5G data is valuable. Ensure your solutions meet the highest security and compliance standards to protect your customers’ data and build trust.
Digital partner management solutions
5G success hinges on robust partner ecosystems. Simplify onboarding, manage product catalogs and automate settlements with best-in-class digital solutions.
Open APIs
Integration is key. Look for solutions with open APIs that seamlessly connect to other components in your ecosystem, enabling you to build custom solutions and tap into the power of the broader 5G landscape.
