Aptilo to Add LTE Policy and Charging Control to Portfolio of Solutions 
 
4G WORLD CHICAGO, Oct. 19, / PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ -- 
 
    - Single Platform for WiMAX, Wi-Fi and Now LTE; Pre-Integrated Approach 
4G World 
 
    Aptilo Networks, the global leader in pre-integrated solutions for 
control of billing, user services and access in wireless networks including 
WiMAX and Wi-Fi, announced today that the company is adding LTE to its 
portfolio of service management and policy control solutions for operators. 
 
    Aptilo's new 4G service management platform with LTE support has a 
purpose-built PCRF (policy charging and rules function) that, unlike 
traditional solutions, is pre-integrated with optional Aptilo modules for the 
necessary subsystems that are usually purchased separately such as prepaid 
systems, subscriber database, WEB portals, statistics and reporting, voucher 
management and more. 
 
    The system boasts a flexible OSS/BSS integration capability 
with an intelligent database interface, native billing interfaces and APIs 
enabling next-generation services. With these subsystems already built-in, 
Aptilo's LTE solution reduces time-to-market and cost of integration 
considerably. 
 
    Aptilo's pre-integrated approach with tight integration 
between the policy (PCRF) and charging functions allow operators to change 
QoS in real time, and charge online on a per application basis to offer 
flexible service plans and increase the revenue potential with their 4G data 
services. 
 
    Flexible and Simplified WiMAX-to-LTE Migration Path 
 
    Aptilo's multi-access architecture provides a single, scalable platform 
to support WiMAX, Wi-Fi and now LTE installations. This means operators using 
Aptilo's WiMAX solution can easily roll out LTE at a later date, preserving 
investments and positioning them for future growth. 
 
    Aptilo's multi-access architecture also enables seamless service mobility 
for users going between Wi-Fi, WiMAX and LTE networks. 
 
    "As the LTE market grows to include more than just the largest mobile 
operators, Aptilo is well poised to expand our reach into the ever-changing 
mobile broadband access market," said Aptilo CEO Torbjorn Ward. "Aptilo's 
holistic approach to service management with tight integration between policy 
and charging functions has been very successful with our WiMAX customers - 
from greenfield deployments using our pre-integrated solution to large 
operators that require solutions that will seamlessly integrate with existing 
systems. We now see the same type of requirements also for LTE, and are very 
pleased to be able to offer this innovative and flexible solution regardless 
of access technology." 
 
    Aptilo's LTE solution will be available in early 2011.
