Telecom Lead Europe: Belgacom, Belgium’s
telecommunications service provider, has selected policy management solutions
from Alcatel-Lucent, which enables the operator to provide its mobile
subscribers with personalized service plans.
Additionally, the operator is now empowered to provide
its mobile customers with the ability to track billing statements in real-time.
The policy management solutions allow Belgacom to offer
its customers easier access to their data charges. With this new capability,
customers can now have greater control over how and what they are spending
while removing the shock of unexpected charges.
Many service providers are now investigating how data
usage and monitoring solutions can help them manage surging network demand,
while reducing costs and providing even more value for their subscribers. With
this deployment, Belgacom is putting itself at the forefront of this movement,”
said Luc Defieuw, VP CIS, North, Central and Eastern Europe from
Alcatel-Lucent.
The new capability ensures that the operator is providing
customers with even more information than required under the latest EU
regulations on data roaming.
Alcatel-Lucent has also supplied Belgacom with its 5780
Dynamic Services Controller (DSC) that provides the Policy and Charging Rules
Function (PCRF) for 3G and 4G wireless networks.
The DSC allows operators to create and modify services
based on customers’ individual needs. It is a part of Alcatel-Lucent’s Wireless
Packet Core solution that delivers the Internet-Protocol (IP) capabilities of
4G LTE to service providers’ 3G networks.
The 5780 Dynamic Services Controller allows networks to
meet the superfast speeds and high-capacity data capabilities provided by 4G
LTE to deliver real-time services.
