Innovate Business Models
Operators are scrambling to innovate beyond the decade-old pre-pay and subscription pricing models for voice, sms, and data, which may no longer generate revenue sufficient to cover rising operating costs.
From new service bundles targeting specific markets, to new service passes and wholesale arrangements, Openet solutions enable operators to rapidly innovate their business model in a complex, dynamic, and uncertain marketplace.
Openet enables flexibility, increases competition, and benefits all stakeholders.
Service Passes enable operators to sell passes for any aspect of a service they wish. For example, an operator may choose to offer service passes that enable video access to complement a low-cost subscription tier that does not normally allow video.
Parental Controls enable service providers to offer peace of mind to parents by allowing them to monitor their child’s data, SMS and voice services, support filtering at the individual contact level, enforce time of day restrictions, to set usage and spend limits and to ensure web content is age appropriate.

Tiered Service Controls enable operators to intelligently manage network growth, more effectively meet subscriber needs, and better match revenues with network utilization by creating data plans in line with the consumption needs of different user segments. The solution allows them to dynamically manage subscribers, and create data plans based on tiers of volume, speed, applications, and a range of customizable variables.
