Tekelec developed eight new use cases to go well beyond basic signaling scenarios to enrich subscribers’ interactions with their devices and enable operators to more intelligently manage network resources, applications and devices.
They help operators create or improve digital lifestyle services, such as machine-to-machine (M2M) and mobile payment offerings, while addressing subscribers’ most common concerns, such as battery life or security. Network Congestion management, Application Firewalling, Application Traffic Scheduling and Management, Service Continuity, Chargeable Services and Mobile Payment and Target Mobile Advertisement are among the use cases.

"For operators to become digital lifestyle providers, they will need to mix and match service bundles and pricing models while managing network resources in new and creative ways,” said Houck Reed, vice president of product management and marketing at Tekelec. "Practically, this means operators and subscribers will need more intelligent controls over applications and devices. The goal is to empower subscribers to better control their experience, allow operators to manage finite resources and welcome advertisers to better communicate with subscribers.”
