A New Approach to Subscriber and Policy Management
ComAbility neXus is a carrier-grade suite designed to address the emerging market
needs, providing advanced subscriber management and policy management capabilities
to Wi-Fi service providers, mobile operators and DSL providers. Out-of-the-box, neXus
includes a rich set of services for effective service monitoring and control in real
time.
Enriched through close work with providers from different countries, ComAbility neXus
tremendously simplifies Wi-Fi and DSL connectivity aspects and the delivery of Wi-Fi
services, taking into account subscriber profile, location and AP, roaming status,
and many other parameters crucial for proper management of services over Wi-Fi, 3G/4G
and DSL.
Putting the Control in the Hand of the User
Management of Wi-Fi networks is a domain where user level involvement is important.
Many operators and service providers avoid client software for handsets and mobile
devices for known reasons, such as:
Poor standardization resulting in a range of differences between handset vendors
A need for device configuration - a costly and complex procedure, requiring also
long-term support, upgrades etc.
Natural avoidance of installing operator-specific software perceived as a tool for
operator control and restricting of usage, rather than as an added-value application.
neXus is offering subscriber-level policies and personalization capabilities, without
requiring client-based applications.
Local authentication policies can be applied without IWLAN tunnelling, thus allowing
local breakout points without a need of redirection to packet core.
In addition, the system offers subscribers web-based (clientless) capabilities such
as
First-time subscription and top-up capabilities, for both native Wi-Fi users and
for 3G offload users
Quota / data-plan management
Usage control of the broadband data traffic services
Monitoring of usage activity
Rich subscriber-portal for web access and subscription management
