Elitecore caters to the emerging demand of Wi-Fi with Its SMP

To monetize the 3G/4G/Wireline Broadband services of Elitecore Technologies, the company has announced that its SMP (Service Management Platform) has successfully enabled Tier-1 operators to set up Wi-Fi networks. With the growing trend of smart device usage, data consumption and subscribers need for mobility, Wi-Fi is becoming a compelling business proposition for operators. However, the challenge remains in managing the Wi-Fi alongside 3G/4G/Wireline Broadband networks to successfully launch Wi-Fi combo or Wi-Fi only plans.

To address operators’ manageability, Elitecore brings innovation in developing  Wi-Fi SMP, bundled with pre-Integrated AAA, MAP-GW & Charging Gateway which not only latches users seamlessly on available Wi-Fi networks but also enforces subscriber’s 3G/4G/Wireline Broadband policies onto Wi-Fi and charges for data usage.

Dhaval Vora, Vice-President, Product Management, Elitecore, said,  Elitecore Wi-Fi SMP is playing a critical role in the success of operators’ heterogeneous network strategy as it helps maintain the customer experience while enhancing quality of service. In order to truly succeed in their Wi-Fi strategy, operators must utilize their existing investments in 3G and provide better reach, easy access and last mile Wi-Fi connectivity to their subscribers while having the capability to enforce same policy as their existing data plans and charging usage.

Elitecore Wi-Fi SMP brings value for operators using 3GPP-compliant EliteAAA which supports seamless Wi-Fi offload through HLR integration of 3G subscribers.
