SmartTrust Offers Service Providers Solutions to Optimize Next-Generation Networks
Convergence of SIM, Mobile Device Technologies Provide Opportunity for Wireless Operators to Increase Subscriber Satisfaction, Reduce operating Costs
STOCKHOLM, Sweden, May 27, 2009 - As service providers begin to build out next-generation networks, the Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card lies at the heart of Long Term Evolution (LTE) and other sophisticated deployments. Because smart phones and other wireless devices operating on 4G and other systems will require SIMs, wireless operators, many who previously didn’t deploy handsets which supported such cards, have been blessed with a tremendous opportunity.
As mobile devices and the networks that support them become more complex and diverse, it is increasingly important for operators to accurately manage and control device settings. SmartTrust, a developer of Mobile Device Management (MDM) and SIM management software for mobile operators, has helped its customers succeed through the ability to see the points of convergence between the SIM and MDM. This insight and SmartTrust’s decades of experience in the wireless industry have resulted in the development of solutions that have a real and measurable impact on subscriber satisfaction while reducing costs for operators.
More than 200 wireless operators including AT&T, Claro, Telenor, T-Mobile and Vodafone have looked to SmartTrust for comprehensive SIM and MDM solutions which have helped to improve the total subscriber experience and allow those operators to run their business in a more profitable way. ”SmartTrust is convinced the SIM holds the key to realizing significant new revenue opportunities for service providers,” said Jeff Bork, CEO, SmartTrust. ”With the resurgence of the SIM through next- generation offerings, our research and development efforts remain focused more than ever on enabling wireless operators to take advantage of the sizable investment in 4G infrastructure while reducing customer care costs.”
The power of a common and SIM independent platform for managing next- generation handsets while continuously maintaining a high level of reliability and performance of an evolving network remain keys to any wireless operator’s future success. While subscribers select a mobile phone based on appearance, the image they want to present and the handset’s capabilities, the device itself has no identity. It is the SIM that serves the critical purpose of providing operators with a means to identify the wireless device.
