Amdocs has launched M2M (Machine-to-Machine) and Connected Home

solutions that enable service providers to create new revenue streams.

These two new solutions enable service providers to cost-effectively enter the connected
devices market and provide a unified customer experience. Mobile companies will
also be able to compete with over-the-top providers and increase average
revenue per user (ARPU).

Amdocs M2M solution, a pre-packaged solution based on production-proven technology,
allows service providers to onboard and support partners offering M2M
applications such as smart utility meters, connected electrical vehicles and
connected wellness. 

The real-time solution can support multiple dynamic business models including
converged, prepaid and postpaid and complex M2M value chain, handling a wide
variety of services and huge volumes of devices.  

The solution is flexible with the ability to change business processes, portals and
tariff plans in minutes. The solution addresses service providers’ concerns of
margin erosions from related customer support costs by transferring common
operational aspects to M2M partners, with self-management tools for ordering,
provisioning and trouble ticketing. 

Cellular M2M connections are forecast to grow from 135 million in 2011 to 2.3 billion by
2020, according to Machina Research.
