The Wi-Fi SaaS service is designed to help CSPs launch and monetize Wi-Fi solutions.
As an industry claim at first, Enia has launched a complete Wi-Fi software-for-service (SAS) service management solution for Communication Service Providers (CSPs). As a service, the Enea Aptilo Wi-Fi Service Management Platform (SMP-S) is an enhanced version of the company’s Aptilo SMP offerings and is designed to help CSP launch and monetize Wi-Fi solutions in response to the growing network cost complexity.
With SaaS’s pay-as-you-go model, Enea says its solution makes it possible for CSPs to scale their Wi-Fi networks and services at their own pace, selecting complimentary functions as they go.
“Moving forward with legacy or indigenous systems in 2022 can feel costly and problematic,” said Roland Steiner, senior vice president of Enier Telecom. “That’s why we’re seeing more and more CSPs shifting their operations to public cloud solutions, with the benefits of shared innovation and increased efficiency.” With our expertise in virtualization and security, CSPs can now use the cloud to secure Wi-Fi monetization using the new Wi-Fi SMP as a service (SMP-S). “
Amazon Web Services (AWS) hosts the service as a dedicated instance per customer, and each CSP has a “self-contained, secure service that can also be deployed as a hybrid service.” To address Wi-Fi security, Enea allows CSPs to add an “extra secure” Wi-Fi SSID (802.1x) to each access point, and integrates it with Mobile Core Integration and SIM authentication for robust security, offloading customers. Enables. Safe and uninterrupted Wi-Fi.
Enia reveals that an anonymous European mobile operator has already set up its solution to securely authenticate users through their SIM card credentials.
Like other XaaS – a term that includes a rapidly expanding galaxy of “as a service” options – as a service model the Wi-Fi software is built on cloud computing infrastructure and concepts, says Sue Rudd Analytics The ability of CSPs to launch new security functions and add services to existing systems should be accelerated immediately. ”
“Enea’s Wi-Fi service management offers multi-tenant B2B customer self-management while ensuring proper management of consent and use of personal data. These capabilities now make it easier to monetize Wi-Fi and create valuable experiences for customers. Carrier Wi-Fi SaaS is a game-changer for CSP and their business customers, “Rudd added.
