Network Insight Implements Service Control Technology Creating Benefits for Subscribers and Service Providers New Technology Expands Subscriber Base, Improves Satisfaction and Increases Revenue

San Diego – Advances in service management technology are now making it possible for service providers to differentiate services at the application level rather than just by the speed of throughput. This application-level recognition provides benefits to both subscribers and service providers.

Traffic management capabilities now allow service providers to identify subscribers, classify applications, improve service performance and charge only for actual IP services that are used all without costly infrastructure upgrades. Utilizing these new technologies means subscribers can get services they want at price points that make sense, and providers can serve them at cost levels that help ensure profitability.

San Diego-based Network Insight, a premier provider of network infrastructure and operations consulting and managed services for service providers announced, at the Comptel Conference and Exhibition in San Diego, that the company now offers the leading solution for implementing content control and shaping methods for service providers. Network Insight’s service control solutions offering includes:
• Consulting for service control solutions based on individual service provider needs
• Custom engineered solutions to meet provider needs ranging from traffic monitoring to preset thresholds for security and content control
• Training for service providers on service control equipment and reporting
• Complete managed services for providers who would rather outsource content control and shaping responsibilities to an expert firm

“A well-built IP network enhanced with service-control capabilities allows providers to do things such as test service offerings, trial pricing models, and promote services without incurring business risks associated with single-purpose network build-outs,” said Chris Pond, Network Insight President and CEO. “Implementing a service control solution will have a direct and positive effect on a service provider’s bottom line while also benefiting the end user with new services at lower costs.”

In addition to decreased costs for network services and products, subscribers also benefit, for the first time, from guaranteed quality of service. Since traffic can be identified and flagged at the application layer, service providers can give top priority to each customer’s mission critical applications such as VoIP while assigning lower priority to less important applications such as P2P.

Experience shows both subscribers and service providers come out ahead as a result of new service control capabilities. Service providers can make better use of their existing networks and enhance their overall management and control with minimal monetary investment. At the same time, subscribers experience improved customer satisfaction and lower rates due to reduced network congestion and improved performance.
