Tethering
Service providers today are seeing an increase in the popularity of tethering, the practice of using an Internet enabled device to connect a second device to the mobile Internet, for example using a smartphone to connect a tablet to a 3G network.
Operators can increase ARPU by offering personalized add-on packages and promotions that allow subscribers to tether their devices. There are certain challenges to offering tethering services and the Amdocs Policy Controller plays a pivotal role in helping operators address these by:
- Detecting when subscribers are tethering their devices and determining their service entitlements;
- Blocking access to unauthorized devices in real time before they impact the network; and
- Leveraging real-time upsell opportunities to increase incremental revenue.
Amdocs' unique policy based solution for tethering puts precise controls in the hands of the operator and manages tethering functions based on subscriber service entitlements, SLAs, and location.
