Buzzinbees and Gemalto partner for network-based automatic device detection
New handset models come out daily and the unit sales per year will exceed 1 billion by 2014. Being capable to manage this very diverse handset base is often a very difficult task for operators. Subscribers are keen to have the latest model but they expect immediate access to their favorite services when they change mobile phones.
In order to provide the most comprehensive solution, Gemalto partners with Buzzinbees, an expert in core network operations, to complete its device management portfolio for 2G, 3G and LTE networks.
Automatic device detection enables mobile network operators to improve the penetration and usage of their services, and therefore generate additional revenue thanks to:
- customer support: instant identification of the handset used by subscribers calling the helpline significantly decreases customer care costs,
- device configuration: automatically send the right settings to the handset when first connected
- promotion of services on the new handset,
- an instant view of the handset installed base, this allows marketing teams to better identify new service opportunities by analyzing consumer's behavior and adapt their marketing strategy.
Thanks to this field-proven technology widely deployed throughout the world, Gemalto's device management solution includes all detection methods, allowing operators to detect and identify handsets when they appear on the network.
