Bridgewater Systems - Shared Wallet Solutions

With the proliferation of new data-enabled devices such as smartphones, laptops, and tablets, subscribers are beginning to own multiple devices and require data services for each.

Operators can capitalize on multi-screen adoption by offering service plans that share data usage across multiple devices. This enables subscribers to share network resources across whichever device best suits their needs at any particular time.

Offering such flexible and customizable plans poses certain challenges to the operator, and Amdocs' intelligent broadband control solutions help by:

Metering usage across multiple devices;
Creating thresholds per device as well as an overall usage limit;
Allowing the flexibility to switch applications from device to device; and
Offering the same entitlements and QoS profiles across all devices.

Amdocs' solutions not only help operators manage these challenges, they enable operators to offer their subscribers innovative new service bundles that give them the experience they want based on their preferences.
