Mobile Network Operators

Mobile networks generate a wealth of rich data. This data consists of the many signalling interactions that take place between the numerous entities that comprise the mobile network.

Such data is essential for supporting user calls and session activities.  However, when extracted and presented externally it can also provide a highly valuable source of information that can provide significant insights into CAPEX and OPEX decisions.

Used commercially, location based data becomes an asset that can be monetised to boost mobile revenues and profits. There are many applications that can leverage location based data and provide additional sources of income for mobile operators.

For example, Location based services can be used to both “push” services to mobile subscribers, and to “pull” interactions from users within a network.

With “pull” services, subscribers can request services from the network based on their location, such as restaurant recommendations, or positions of points of interest. Additionally, they can search for the location of friends and relations.

Further segments in which high growth of location services is expected, including

• people and pet tracking
• gaming and recreation
• navigation and mapping
• infotainment
• enterprise
• Social networking and communities
