4 The Mobile Broadband Landscape Today On a global scale, the era of mobile broadband has arrived, revealing unprecedented opportunities and challenges to wireless network operators. Mobile data subscriptions on 2G, 3G, and 4G mobile networks have skyrocketed to over two billion connections by the end of 2013, predicted to double to four billion by Thanks to greater availability of low-cost smartphones and mobile devices, subscribers are setting and breaking records of data consumption year after year. On the horizon, the alignment of connected industries (health, education, banking, retail, manufacturing) and the connect world (home, auto, wearables) will only further weave mobile broadband into the fabric of our societies, our economies, and our lives. Despite these opportunities, wireless network operators have been challenged by stagnate data revenues despite network-shaking data traffic rates and countless overnight success stories of overthe-top players and content providers. In addition, mobile broadband markets are becoming increasingly saturated with incumbents and new players, keeping prices low and competition high. These factors and others have made it difficult for operators to fully harness the explosive growth in mobile broadband for business success. In recent years, operators have had to adopt a new business paradigm one that moves beyond the delivery of data connectivity as a utility or commodity to the delivery of rich and contextual digital experiences that resonate strongly with customers across different market segments. To achieve this, operators must be able to leverage the value in their mobile broadband networks by monetizing data services in truly differentiated and innovative ways. Today, operators that are leading the mobile broadband are able to In order to realize success in the era of mobile broadband, wireless network operators must be able to leverage the value in their data networks by monetizing services in truly differentiated and innovative ways, by enhancing the customer experience, and by exploring new mobile broadband revenue models. Differentiate services beyond price per byte with data offers that resonate with customers lifestyles and data habits Bring new data plans to market quickly, ones that cannot be easily replicated by competitors Respond without hesitation to changes in market trends and competitor offerings Build customer loyalty and reduce churn with a sophisticated customer experience Realize convergence across access technologies, legacy and next generation Explore new business models and revenue streams without impact to existing services Use valuable, real-time insights to feed business, network, and CX innovation This formula for mobile broadband success requires a robust and continually evolving network environment that can support new business requirements without delay and without disruption to existing networks and services. 4

7 A Formula for Mobile Broadband Success At a time when the growth in mobile broadband penetration and traffic consumption worldwide far outpace that of revenues and ARPU, operators are in search of new and different ways to stimulate stagnate revenues and ROI. Alepo s Mobile Broadband Accelerator solution makes that possible by delivering the tools and capabilities needed for business success. It enables operators to innovate data offers that move beyond price per byte, attracting new market share and building customer loyalty through a more sophisticated customer experience. What s more, operators can segment customers and target those innovative data offers in ways that optimize ARPU in all segments. With built-in business analytics and marketing and CRM automation, operators can continually analyze and refine their mobile broadband business, while looking for new revenue streams and business opportunities for their networks. Innovate Segment Analyze Explore Figure 2 Alepo s MBBA Solution delivers a formula for business success Innovate Mobile Data Offers to Increase Market Share With an Alepo MBBA solution, operators gain a single platform that can support the most attractive and revenue-boosting mobile broadband plans and promotions on the market today. With out-ofthe-box support for a wealth of popular use cases, including speed-based plans, data rollover, family data plans, and more, operators can stand apart with differentiated service offerings that win market share and customer loyalty. With Alepo s constantly evolving library of use cases and capabilities, operators can stay ahead of the competition as market trends shift and customer expectations evolve. Sample Use Case: Half Price Data Happy Hour With the most advanced policy and charging control capabilities met with the ease of drag-and-drop editors, Alepo s Mobile Broadband Accelerator solution makes it simple to offer a Data Happy Hour promotion to any or all customer segments. In the example below, customers enjoy a 2-for-1 or half price data happy hour, during which all data quotas are counted at 50% of the actual usage. Operators can also elect to give free data usage on specific apps or content, or to increase bandwidth speed during those hours. These types of time-based data promotions, operators can 7

8 encourage usage during off-peak hours in ways that help to reduce peak-hour congestion while at the same time boost brand positioning with fun and unique data promotions. 2-FOR-1 DATA HAPPY HOUR! On Monday through Thursday at 3PM 6PM, get 2X s the data! For every 2 Mb you use, we ll count it as 1Mb. Cheers! Prepaid Data Innovation Prepaid or Pay As You Go data packages are commonplace in many markets around the world today, and even in traditionally unlimited data markets like the U.S., they continue to gain momentum as customers opt for more affordable and custom plans. Prepaid data plans allow customers to pay for only the services they need, while avoiding long-term contracts, deposits, and overage charges. Instead, customers typically purchase refill cards or make refills at retail stores with cash or a credit card or online with a credit or debit card. With Alepo s Mobile Broadband Accelerator solution, operators can enhance their prepaid data business with advanced features like emergency top ups, recharge rewards, application-based refills, data rollover incentives, and more. Sample Use Case: Data Rollover as a Recharge Incentive For pay-as-you-go customers, mobile data vouchers often carry a volume (MB) limit and an expiration. For example, a 10GB prepaid voucher must be used within 30 days of activation. Once the pass validity expires, the customer typically forfeits any unused data. However, with data rollover enabled by Alepo s Mobile Broadband Accelerator Solution, operators can allow customers to roll over or carry forward any used data into the next plan or package. Operators can create incentive for PAYG customers to renew their package by only allowing data rollover if the account is renewed or refilled within seven days of the expiration date. 8

9 Segment and Target Offers to Optimize ARPU With Alepo s Mobile Broadband Accelerator solution, operators can easily segment customers based on any number of commonalities or usage patterns and then create targeted, segmented offers that appeal specifically to those customer segments. In doing so, operators can grow ARPU, delivering the right data plans and promotions to the customers who value them the most. In addition, Alepo s solution features tools that automate marketing campaigns, so that customers receive targeted offers directly on their devices, inbox, and online. Real-time reporting tools give operators greater visibility of campaign performance so they can continually refine and optimize offers. Sample Use Case: Deliver the Right Speed at the Right Price It s no question that consumers today want faster mobile broadband service. In fact, according to a 2013 Accenture report, 63% of mobile subscribers would be willing to spend more money on faster data connectivity between 10% and 30% more money. Still, this leaves 37% of mobile subscribers who reported that they would not care to pay additional costs for faster data connectivity. Therefore, operators need more granularity in how they price data services in order to satisfy their high-end and low-end customer segments. Alepo s Mobile Broadband Accelerator solution provides this granularity by enabling operators to create data service tiers based on different bandwidth speeds. With it, operators can satisfy customers who want lightning-fast speeds as well as customers who want a low-cost option. Take, for example, the following set of data plans. The first option, the Platinum Plan could be an attractive option for customers who value the ability to download large files or stream online videos, while the Silver Plan could be a great fit for customers who simply want to check their or occasionally browse the internet. By giving different price points across different market segments and customer types, operators can appeal to a wider audience of customers and maximize ARPU. 9

10 Customer Experience Innovation Mobile broadband operators know that a stellar customer experience is key to success. The customer experience serves to build brand equity and customer loyalty, reduce churn and customer care costs. When the customer experience is optimized, it provides new opportunities for up-sell and cross-sell, contributing to higher ARPU and overall revenue. Alepo s MBBA Solution helps network operators to enhance the customer experience on multiple fronts. It enables more personalized and contextual data offers, features integrative and intuitive self-care tools, and ensures real-time customer communications. Alepo automates customer experience processes wherever possible to achieve efficiency and interactions with customers. Sample Use Case: Happy Birthday Data Gift What s more personalized than a special data promotion delivered on customers birthdays? With Alepo s MBBA Solution, you can automatically deliver special data offers and freebies to customers on birthdays, customer anniversaries, and holidays all with simple drag-and-drop creation. Even if connected with an external CRM, Alepo can use this subscriber information to realize this type of use case and others that create a more personalized and enjoyable customer experience. HAPPY BIRTHDAY! OUR GIFT TO YOU Celebrate your special day with an extra 100Mb free! 10

11 Analyze Insights to Refine MBB Business With Alepo s Mobile Broadband Accelerator solution, operators can leverage insights about customers, the network, and business plans in order to continually test, refine, and optimize their mobile broadband business. Alepo s platform enables operators to create graphically rich, webbased dashboards that give system users the data they need to make informed business decisions. Alepo s web-based dashboards can be customized per system user role to show the reports and insights that are most relevant to that position or department. For example, a reports dashboard for a marketing user may show statistics about high performing campaigns and offers, whereas a network manager may see a summary of which services and applications are most heavily utilized at different locations. Users can drill down to gain deeper insights in a logical, organized way. To see a full list of reports and insights available in the Alepo MBBA solution, please contact Alepo. Figure 3 - A Sample Reports Dashboard for a Marketing Manager in Alepo s MBBA Solution Sample Use Case: Customer Win Back Campaign Alepo s Mobile Broadband Accelerator solution can help operators to defend their market share by winning back customers that have churned or are at risk of churn. In this end-to-end example, the operator leverages Alepo s powerful business and customer insights to identify and segment customers who have had an inactive account for 30 days. The operator creates a special offer for this segment an extra 10GB of data with the purchase of any new plan or package. The operator delivers this offer to the inactive customers via using Alepo s own Notification Center and 11

12 monitors the results with performance reports. The entire process from analytics to segmented marketing to the creation and purchase of the plan to business reporting can be handled on the Alepo platform. Explore New Business Models to Grow Revenue As the prevalence of mobile broadband grows across society, industries, and applications, network operators must be able to ready to unlock new revenue streams and business models. An Alepo MBBA solution holds the key, making it simple to introduce new business models, either as part of the existing network, adjunct with some integration, or as a standalone, all-in-one platform independent from the existing core network. A standalone solution can enable operators to quickly sandbox or test new revenue models without risk or disruption to existing services. Operators are assured of an open platform that readily integrates with the existing network if and when they decide to do so. Sample Use Case: Data Pass for Visitors and Casual Users The data pass business model opens a new market of casual and short-term mobile data users for example, tourists or customers who sporadically need mobile data services on a secondary device such as a tablet. With Alepo s MBBA Solution, operators can introduce an all-in-one platform that supports an entire data pass business model: data pass creation and inventory management, online purchase, provisioning, policy and charging, reporting, reseller and affiliate management, and customer support. As a standalone solution, Alepo s MBBA platform allows operators to quickly introduce this new business model with zero impact on the operator s core business.

Alepo leverages organizational expertise in solution design, consulting, and systems integration to deliver a winning solution. Figure 4 - Which type of operator best describes you? Overlay: A Zero-Replacement Approach With Alepo s Mobile Broadband Accelerator solutions, incumbent wireless network operators can rapidly introduce end-to-end solutions for emerging mobile broadband opportunities without adding unnecessary costs, complexity, or changes to their existing business and network environment. As incumbent mobile broadband operators look to enhance their data services offerings with innovative offers, they often face challenges in adapting the existing IT and network infrastructure to support new, advanced use cases. Even the most robust legacy policy, charging, and CRM systems reveal their limitations at some point. When this happens, operators must decide whether to make 16

17 changes to the existing infrastructure, to update or replace components, or to abandon the opportunity altogether. System changes or workarounds, tackled in already complex network environments, can risk disruption to existing services. System upgrades and replacement projects often demand significant time and investment, which slows the time to market for new products. Alepo s Mobile Broadband Accelerator Solution provides an alternative approach when it comes to introducing new mobile broadband opportunities into existing network environments one that is simple, cost-effective, and fast. With an overlay approach, Alepo delivers only the components necessary to bridge the gap between the legacy network and the operator s business goals. Deployed on single, pre-integrated platform, this approach can lessen the number of required touch points with the legacy network and reduce overall network complexity and deployment time. Wherever possible, Alepo promotes reuse of legacy components, thanks to Alepo s standards-based products, a decade of experience in systems integration, and many proven IOTs. The flexible solution also enables operators to swap in and out components as they see fit, avoiding vendor lock-in. Mobile Broadband in a Box: Complete, Market-Ready Package For Greenfield players, WiMAX to LTE providers, and legacy mobile operators alike, the rollout of a next-generation mobile broadband network such as 3G and LTE is marked by common opportunities and challenges. Without any legacy infrastructure to carry forward, the operator is able to build a best-of-breeds network with the latest and most advanced products on the market today. On the other hand, new market entrants in mobile broadband are often pressed to get to market quickly and generate a rapid ROI. As new mobile broadband networks are designed and deployed, operators must be able to monetize services from launch as well as ensure readiness for network and business evolution. For Greenfield and legacy mobile operators, Alepo can provide a complete core network + IT environment that, in most cases, can be deployed off the shelf in under 90 days. With a MBB in a Box approach, Alepo delivers an end-to-end solution to deliver, monetize, and manage nextgeneration mobile broadband services whether 3G or LTE on a single, pre-integrated platform. Operators benefit from a rapid and cost-effective deployment without sacrificing the flexibility, openness, or future readiness expected from a best-of-breeds mobile broadband network. The solution is designed to scale and evolve alongside the operator s business, enabling rapid revenue growth today and into the future. 17
