While WiMAX has been inspired by cellular networks in design with its well-defined nodes, it has much to learn from fixed broadband and Wi-Fi hotspots when it comes to business models. Aptilo’s heritage from these markets allows us to offer a proven solution with the flexibility to support a host of different business models.
Dynamic Account EngineDynamic Account Engine: Provisioning of prepaid data service policies is included, together with a Dynamic Account Engine and a real-time prepaid manager that enables a large multitude of service offerings and combinations of time, volume and price based subscriber accounts covering all required business models. Start costs, minimum charges, time-of-day charging and bandwidth throttling can all be enabled.
Voucher ManagementVoucher Management: With the Voucher Management module, the service provider can create vouchers including access codes and serial numbers associated with a predefined account type in the Aptilo Prepaid module.
Physical voucher cards are particularly useful e.g. to top up an existing prepaid account or during a service launch (promotion). The wholesale service provider can virtually supply multiple service providers with their own voucher generator, allowing them to sell WiMAX based access under their own brand and with their own service price schemes to their customers. Access codes can easily be batch generated for external physical voucher creation.
