Amdocs launches M2M and Cloud-Based Connected Home Solutions
Amdocs has launched two new solutions - Amdocs M2M (Machine-to-Machine) and Connected Home solutions - that will enable service providers to create new revenue streams, provide a unified customer experience and allow them to compete with over-the-top providers, all of which will help them increase average revenue peruser (ARPU).
Amdocs M2M solution is a pre-packaged, pre-configured end-to-end solution based on production-proven technology that allows service providers to quickly onboard and support partners offering M2M applications, whereas Amdocs Connected Home solution is a cloud-based solution that can be easily integrated with existing business and operational support systems (B/OSS) and core network elements. This solution can allow service providers to increase revenue by up to 5 per cent.
"We expect to see interest for these solutions across North America and Europe. As part of the Amdocs CES portfolio and combined with our wide range of services and unmatched industry expertise, the AmdocsM2M and Connected Home solutions enable service providers to simplify the experience for their customers and create new revenue streams to stay ahead of the competition," said Rebecca Prudhomme, Vice-President, Product and Solutions Marketing, Amdocs.
Cellular M2M connections are forecast to grow from 135 million in 2011 to 2.3 billion by 2020, according to Machina Research, whilst research from Parks Associates shows a great potential for service providers in the emerging connected home market. For example, 12 per cent of the US consumers and 9 per cent of the Western European consumers are highly interested in home security and home automation, and 19 per cent of the Western European consumers are highly interested in an energy monitoring service.
