WIRELESS AND MOBILE NEWS

Caminat the leading provider of policy control and application assurance technology, today announced that Heavy Reading in its latest report on "Policy Control & DPI: The New Broadband Imperative" has concluded that there will be rapid growth in deployment of policy tools over the next two years, both in wireline and wireless networks.

The market is being driven by a desire to control high-bandwidth applications and to enrich the range of options available to consumers. Camiant was named a clear leader among Policy Specialists in this report that outlines a shift in the market towards mobile operators as more players deploy mobile broadband services.

The Heavy Reading report found that policy control is an increasingly important aspect of the general transition to an all IP next gen network (NGN).  Most service providers believe that they need to more intelligently control access to network resources, applications and subscribers.

"Flexible rules-based policy engines are going to become more important in future," said Graham Finnie, Chief Analyst at Heavy Reading and author of the report. "Policy matters more than ever before and centralized policy servers are likely to be an important element in helping telcos increase the value of their propositions."

Heavy Reading's report said that Camiant's strengths included its strong support for key standards, depth of intellectual property and strong partnering with third parties.

"Camiant is delighted to be named a leader in the policy space by Heavy Reading," said Randy Fuller, vice president of business development for Camiant. "Camiant is laser focused on providing operators with better QoS and revenue-generation assurance via the industry's foremost centrally managed policy server."  

Camiant's Policy Control Server, fully compliant with 3GPP*'s Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF) specifications, is an essential component of the broadband network, providing vital real-time intelligence and management of network resources, while creating an infrastructure for new revenue opportunities.
