VANCOUVER – Incognito and Applied Broadband have joined forces on a new subscriber consumption management tool for cable operators.
The agreement couples network-based consumption intelligence from Applied Broadband with subscriber service and provisioning information from Incognito Software. The result will allow cable ops a centralized view and control of a subscriber’s broadband services, from device provisioning and service fulfillment to overall bandwidth usage to help them better manage broadband consumption growth and potentially monetize traffic patterns on their networks.
“Against an industry backdrop of multiple service providers rolling out bandwidth caps and other subscriber usage policies, DOCSIS IPDR collection, analysis, and presentation is the key for cable operators to drive new revenue opportunities, optimize capacity planning and other business goals without creating privacy issues for their subscribers,” said Applied Broadband founder and principal Jason Schnitzer, in Tuesday’s announcement.
“This partnership exemplifies of our continual commitment into helping our customers increase efficiencies by streamlining BSS/OSS processes”, said Incognito president and CEO Stephane Bourque.
The integrated Applied Broadband and Incognito solution will be available worldwide in Spring 2012 and will be supported and sold by Incognito Software.
