Telecom Web Services Platform - TWS

Telecom Web Services are recognised in the market as being one of the key enabling technologies for Carriers wishing to offer new products & services as a means for monetising network assets and to respond effectively to reducing service & product lifecycles as a result of increased innovation and churn. Several Carriers having already deployed point solutions for exposing messaging and location functions now wish to expose other capabilities, such as advanced call control, and are seaking greater adoption of Web Services technologies as a core enabler in the build-out of their SDP projects.

The Aepona Telecom Web Services platform helps Carriers to achieve these goals by providing a single, unified approach to exposing network capabilities as Web Services and fully embraces latest industry standards and engineering practices. With its comprehensive support of a broad set of IT and telecom network interfaces and protocols, integration with customer networks and service delivery platforms becomes a simple task.

Through choosing to implement the Aepona product at the core of their SDP, customers can create a common service framework for any type of Telecom Web Service whilst at the same time, addressing the need to maintain network integrity, security and performance. This means that Carriers can now benefit from a "one-time" platform and network integration activity, resulting in a significant reduction in lead-times for taking new services to market - whatever the business use case might be.

With TWS, customers can bind together a broad set of telecom capabilities with IT & Web applications to create a new generation of services that enable Carriers to differentiate on both service quality and experience. Combined with a suite of strong Load Control, Charging, SLA management and Policy Rules capabilities, and underpinned by the the Aepona Partner Relationship Management (PRM) module, the Aepona platform ensures full availability and protection of resources toward both the end customer and the network.

Coupled with the Payments and Settlement Engine (PSE), TWS provides a powerful set of APIs and the associated business infrastructure to support digital commerce and charging for 3rd party XSPs.
