Linkem, an Italian provider of wireless broadband services, has selected Amdocs' virtualized network control solution to support the company's transition from WiMAX to LTE, while providing subscribers with a superior data experience based on differentiated service quality for high-bandwidth content.
Amdocs, the leading provider of customer experience solutions, said that the pre-integrated, virtualized solution combines Amdocs Policy Controller, an industry-leading policy control (PCRF) solution, with Amdocs Home Subscriber Server for dynamic subscriber management. As a result, Linkem can deliver application-specific quality of service (QoS) to improve subscribers' end-to-end experience with streaming HD video, voice over IP, gaming and other data-intensive multimedia applications.
