In the services revolution currently underway, new applications and content will come from a diverse range of sources. To stay relevant in this world, network operators must find a way to overcome the dumb pipe syndrome.

One way network operators can meet this challenge is by adopting the IMS network services model. The IMS specification empowers network operators to add value by acting as a service broker for subscribers on their network. Following this model, subscribers will be able to access services and content from third party providers with the necessary mechanisms and policy controls needed to ensure a premium-grade service.

Solegy offers a core component of the IMS ecosystem with the ServicePDQ i-Broker, an IMS-aligned service deployment platform. With ServicePDQ, the network operator is able to:

• Manage all its relationships with third-party content providers using a single interface
• Permit flexible transaction fees for usage of network resources through Online Charging

Solegy’s ServicePDQ i-Broker offers a ready solution for Network Operators wishing to take advantage of the growing number of applications and content being developed around the 3GPP and 3GPP2 IMS specifications.

The following diagram illustrates how the ServicePDQ i-Broker platform fits into the IMS solution for network operators:
