Comptel Policy Control Wins Communications Technology Platinum Award for Second Consecutive Year

HELSINKI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Comptel Corporation (NASDAQ OMX Helsinki: CTL1V) today announced that Comptel Policy Control has won a Communications Technology Platinum Award for the second year running. The product was recognised as the broadband industry’s most innovative “Network Policy Control Solution” for its analytics-driven capabilities, and honoured for its ease of deployment and successful implementations.

“We are honoured to be recognised once again for helping operators to optimise their business performance with Comptel Policy Control.”

Comptel Policy Control offers communications service providers (CSPs) a way to regulate and optimise the whole customer experience, including what is delivered, how and at what price, in a way that is highly responsive to today’s dynamic market conditions and within the constraints of their service networks. Operators can maximise their revenue potential, while controlling costs and maintaining a balance between keeping customers happy, reducing churn, increasing the amount customers are willing to spend, and managing scarce resources and capacity.

Key Facts

The second annual Communications Technology Platinum Awards program celebrates excellence in technology innovation, implementation and PR/marketing in the highly competitive and dynamic broadband communications technology arena. Winners were honoured at an awards breakfast on 17 October 2012 in Orlando, Florida in conjunction with the 2012 SCTE Cable-Tec Expo.
Comptel Policy Control gives CSPs the levers they need to transform their technology investments into profitable new business—it is helping them to combine sophisticated charging rules for multi-vendor 3G, LTE, WiMAX, fixed and cable networks with the real-time application of network and business policy. Based on the proven Comptel Control and Charge platform, it offers a number of solutions, including Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF), Fair Usage Control, End-to-End Policy Management with Intelligent Congestion Control, Roaming Cost Control and Analytics-Driven Policy Management.
Comptel’s policy control and charging capabilities are helping more than a dozen CSPs worldwide optimise the customer experience. For instance, a European operator quelled subscribers’ concerns about exceeding their data usage by using the product to offer balance alerts via SMS and empower customers to manage their spending in real time.
