Elitecore Technologies on Tuesday launched its integrated BSS solution for LTE 4G networks.
The new BSS platform is suitable for telecom operators such as Bharti Airtel, China Mobile, AT&T, Verizon, SK Telecom, etc.
4G telecom operators can benefit from the future ready pre-integrated BSS platform comprising online charging, convergent billing, PCRF, DSC, 3GPP AAA and enhanced mediation for 4G LTE networks.
The company does not say that whether the new BSS platform supports all 4G bands available in the global telecom markets. Also, Elitecore does not talk about test results on 4G networks in different LTE markets.
The BSS provider said the new solution supports gradual migration from existing networks to provide personalized LTE offerings such as shared wallet/family plans, a la carte plans and VoLTE support. The platform also comes with Business Analytics (BI) tool to help the CSPs launch customer-centric loyalty and promotional plans including location-based and device-based plans.
“Operators face challenges in effectively monetizing LTE through legacy charging and billing infrastructure as these systems were not designed for all-IP environments thus, cannot take into account the customer context such as usage, location, device, time, account balance, personal information,” said Dhaval Vora, VP, Product Management, Elitecore Technologies.
Elitecore’s future-ready BSS platform enables seamless subscriber experience, faster integration with 3rd party systems helping operators launch innovative plans to enhance customer experience, said Elitecore in a statement.

Elitecore BSS platform is integrated with packet core, including PCRF to offer tiered fair access policy plans, Policy-based free units, parental controls and enterprise plans along with customer-centric loyalty and promotions such as location-based, device-based add-on promos and targeted promotions based on subscriber ARPU.
