Network Monetisation Suite

Business Cases

Digital marketplace

Nexign Network Monetisation Suite paves the way for Digital Service Providers to join the global blockchain-powered marketplace for eSIM and product subscriptions, creating new revenue streams, retaining clients, and bundling and offering network and OTT services. The product provides an embedded vertical solution for many important business use cases, including roaming acceleration and digital identity as a service.

5G and IoT service monetisation

The product is compatible with innovative services such as 5G and IoT. Exceptional software performance together with compliance with the industry standards of 3GPP and TMForum provides a technological foundation for the monetisation of both traditional and new services.

Congestion management

Nexign Network Monetisation Suite supports a new business model, based on developing shared networks, 5G slicing, and optimisation of network investments. Its new RAN congestion awareness function (RCAF) dramatically increases the effectiveness of digital service providers’ business operations. Network capacity improvement, mission and business critical services support, improvements in clients’ UX – this AI-driven engine opens up all sorts of possibilities.

Direct integration with ASP

The solution provides APIs for direct integration with partner ASPs and IoT platforms. It decreases traffic management requirements and expenditure on high-load partner applications. A secure single point of integration with ASPs, OTTs, and IoT platforms reduces TTM. The solution also unlocks new revenue streams from ASPs, such as upgraded QoS monetisation on the digital service provider’s infrastructure and sponsored data capabilities.

E-commerce market

Nexign Network Monetisation Suite supports real-time account balance management for interactions with payment systems, e-commerce, banks, and processing by using customer balances for third-party transactions. The product enables operators to open up new and non-traditional revenue streams, and to mix financial and telco technologies (credit cards, real-time money transfers, etc.).

Multitenancy network support

The suite allows services and tariffing to be managed by either the supplier or the operator to support the MVNO launch option for the operator on your infrastructure. Using the industry standard TMForum SID model enables you to share information about offers, customers, and calls, and also to reduce operational costs and time spent on integration with related systems.

What’s Inside

Nexign Network Monetisation Suite components

The advantages of Nexign Network Monetisation Suite go beyond the classic convergent charging and policy control. The suite helps operators to deliver and monetise a wide range of converged services, such as pre-paid, post-paid, and hybrid rating and charging scenarios, fixed and mobile or residential and business offerings, and complex strategies using in-house and third-party offerings that create a foundation for digital transformation business models. Nexign NWM has been deployed within Tier 1 infrastructure, including support for 80M+ subscribers for a single service provider.

Convergent Charging domain

It has a real-time core delivering ultimate performance and mature functionality. This fully catalogue-driven solution supports flexible rating, as well as charging and balance management functions for building any digital product, and can operate as a VNF in the telco cloud environment. Millisecond-class delay for reauthorisation means that Convergent Charging is ready to respond to any future challenges in the CSP’s network, including 5G and IoT.

Policy Control domain

It is at the heart of a mobile operator’s modern CSP network. It determines policy and controls all rules for each subscriber session in real time, sets quality of service (QoS) parameters, and determines charging policy.

Nexign Network Monetisation Suite architecture

Functions:

Policy and charging rules function (PCRF) – mobile network policy control.
Online and offline charging system (OCS/OFCS) – real-time charging and balance management.
Authentication, authorisation, and accounting (AAA) – QoS management in fixed and broadband networks.
User data repository (UDR) – 3GPP module with user data, policy, and service attributes storage function.
RAN congestion awareness function (RCAF) – function of the 3GPP network, providing PCRF with user plane congestion status from RAN.
Service capability exposure function (SCEF) – information about service capability and available network resources.
Packet flow description function (PFDF) – storage of PFDs associated with application identifier(s) and transfer to the PCEF.
