A Tier 1 Latin American Mobile Network Operator (MNO) with regional footprint has signed a contract worth $4 million with Sandvine to launch innovative services such as unlimited, pre-paid tiers for social networking, email, chat and other popular applications. Sandvine, a leading provider of intelligent broadband network solutions for fixed and mobile operators, will help the MNO to deploy its Network Analytics product across group properties to provide actionable business intelligence about popular applications, devices and network quality. The network analytics product which is part of Sandvine's Service Creation portfolio will provide valuable insights for inter-network comparison and benchmarking, and to support business and operational decisions. According to Sandvine, the Latin American operators are hungry for business intelligence solutions that can help them understand subscriber preferences as a first step towards differentiating their service offerings.
“In Latin America, we are helping operators segment their subscriber base so they can determine what services may be both affordable to users and profitable to the operator,” said Tom Donnelly, Sandvine’s COO, Sales and Global Services. “In many cases the result has been innovative new service tiers that have provided Internet access to users who otherwise may not have seen the value.” 'Sandvine Wins Tier 1 Latin American Mobile Operator Group'
