On-Demand Services
Already being deployed by tier-1 Service Providers in North America, the Bridgewater Systems™ On-Demand Service solution enables mobile operators to reach new and casual users with time or usage-based services and enhance existing contracts with bandwidth boost, roaming access, and other high-value services.
Allowing customers to easily activate new services when they need them can improve subscriber quality of service and quality of experience, driving incremental revenue. Customers benefit from flexibility and choice, whether they already have an existing subscription or are without a service contract. The Bridgewater Systems solution supports flexible on-demand access to increases in bandwidth and data volume, new applications and services, and instant WiMAX device activation, enabling multiple business and operation models.
This solution leverages dynamic policy control to manage the interaction between the user and the network, improving system responsiveness and subscriber satisfaction. Service policies can determine the appropriate offering for the subscriber in real time and provide new service registration or enhancement directly through the mobile device or redirect the subscriber to a self-provisioning portal.
