Service Control for Wireless Service Providers
Wireless Service Providers are successfully rolling out 2.5G and 3G-based data services to their
subscribers.
These services are expected to significantly increase much needed Average Revenue Per User
(ARPU) for sustained business models and rapid rollout of new services. These data services
require new ways of service offering and new ways of billing these services to the subscribers.
The Cisco Service Control solutions enable:
• Support for multiple billing models
• Elimination of revenue leakage via real-time service control
• Flexible pricing plans: postpaid, prepaid, MRC, pay-per-use
• Content-based billing for various applications
• Subscription-based and tiered application services
Service Control for DSL Providers and ISPs
DSL providers and ISPs targeting residential and business broadband customers must find new
ways to get maximum leverage from their existing infrastructures, while differentiating their
offerings with enhanced IP services.
Cisco products add a new layer of service intelligence and control to existing networks, and will:
• Provide granular visibility into network usage
• Automatically enforce application SLAs or acceptable use policies
• Implement different service levels for different types of customers, content, or applications
• Deploy from network edge to network core for end-to-end service control
• Integrate Cisco solutions easily with existing network elements and BSS/ OSS systems
Service Control for Cable MSOs
Cable MSOs have successfully deployed high-speed cable modem services to millions of homes.
Now, they must move beyond providing commodity broadband access by introducing
differentiated services and by implementing the service control necessary to fully manage service
delivery through their broadband infrastructure. Cisco Service Control solutions will enable:
• Ability to report/analyze network traffic at subscriber and aggregate level for capacity
planning
• Identification of network abusers who are violating the Acceptable Use Policy
• Identification and management of peer-to-peer, NNTP (news) traffic, and spam abusers
• Enforcement of the Acceptable Use Policy (AUP)
• Ability to limit the use of servers in the subscriber residence, as well as the use of multiple
(unpaid) computers
• Customer-intuitive tiered application services and guarantee application SLAs
• Full integration with standard or legacy OSS for subscriber management and billing
