Linkem chooses Amdocs virtualized solution for premium LTE services

NEW DELHI: Italian broadband and wireless services company Linkem has selected an Amdocs virtualized network control solution to support the company’s transition from WiMAX to LTE.

The pre-integrated, virtualized solution combines Amdocs policy controller, an industry-leading policy control (PCRF) solution, with Amdocs Home Subscriber Server for dynamic subscriber management.

As a result, Linkem can deliver application-specific quality of service (QoS) to improve subscribers’ end-to-end experience with streaming HD video, voice over IP, gaming and other data-intensive multimedia applications.

“Amdocs’ virtualized Policy Controller allows us to provide wireless data plans with tiered quality of service, enabling a consistent and optimal user experience in any network condition,” said Rino Buccio, Chief Technology Officer at Linkem.

“This implementation supports our strategy to launch advanced LTE data services today while laying the groundwork for a full network functions virtualization (NFV) architecture for even greater cost efficiencies and faster time to market for future technology enhancements,” said Buccio.

“Our vendor-neutral, virtualized network control solutions will help Linkem accelerate the rollout of new services, easily scale to meet the demands of data services growth, and shape a differentiated quality of experience for its customers,” said Ann Hatchell, Head of Network Marketing at Amdocs.
