Per-subscriber policy control facilitates the rapid deployment of services that are tailored to user demands and in tune with market trends. Allot SMP makes it easy to create tiered subscriber service plans and to provision different Quality of Service (QoS) policies that enforce how each subscriber’s traffic is treated.
SMP Quota Management capability lets service providers set a usage allowance per subscriber, meter actual service consumption, and adjust QoS control based on content, volume, and/or time elapsed. Whenever a quota is reached, subscribers may be redirected automatically to captive portals where they can “top-up” their quota, upgrade their service plan, or other possibilities. Allot SMP also supports “turbo buttons” that will boost an application’s performance for a limited period of time.
Quota Management also facilitates a variety of chargeable options and pricing models. For example, a quota plan could be based on P2P usage that provides up to 1 Gig of data uploads/downloads per month at a base rate, with automatic redirection to the provider's portal to buy extra volume when the quota is reached.
Allot SMP functionality may be integrated easily into the provider’s customer service website, allowing broadband subscribers to view their monthly activity, top-up their quota allowance, purchase a bandwidth boost on demand, and more. |
