Use Case
Screening calls on a Private Network
Network call screening is a feature that allows you to filter incoming calls on your private network, based on criteria such as caller ID, caller name, or caller location. Network call screening can help you avoid unwanted calls from telemarketers, scammers, or robocalls, and protect your privacy and security. Network call screening can also save you time and money by reducing the number of calls that you need to answer or return.
How can we add value to a Private Networks?
One of the ways to enhance the performance and profitability of a private network is to offer additional services that complement the core functionality of the network. Additional services can provide value to the network users by addressing their specific needs, preferences, and pain points. Some examples of additional services are:
Security: Private networks can offer security features such as encryption, authentication, firewall, antivirus, and VPN to protect the network data and devices from unauthorized access, cyberattacks, and malware.
Cloud: Private networks can offer cloud services such as storage, backup, computing, and applications to enable the network users to access and manage their data and resources from anywhere and any device.
Analytics: Private networks can offer analytics services such as data collection, processing, visualization, and reporting to help the network users gain insights and make informed decisions based on their network performance, usage, and trends.
Automation: Private networks can offer automation services such as orchestration, configuration, provisioning, and monitoring to help the network users simplify and optimize their network operations and management.
Support: Private networks can offer support services such as troubleshooting, maintenance, updates, and upgrades to help the network users resolve any issues and ensure the network reliability and availability.
By offering additional services, private networks can create a competitive advantage over other networks, increase customer satisfaction and loyalty, and generate new revenue streams.
Could we create services without a VoLTE & IMS core?
Creating services on a private network without an IMS core is possible, but it has some limitations and challenges. IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) is a standardized architecture that enables the delivery of voice, video, and data services over IP networks. IMS provides a common framework for interoperability, security, quality of service, and billing among different service providers and network operators. Without an IMS core, a private network would have to rely on proprietary or non-standardized solutions for service creation and management, which could result in compatibility issues, performance degradation, or increased costs. Therefore, it is advisable to use an IMS core for private networks that require advanced or diverse services, such as VoLTE, VoWiFi, RCS, or IoT.
What about creating services for IoT Private Networks?
Creating services for IoT Private Networks can be a lucrative opportunity for businesses that want to provide solutions for various industries and use cases, such as smart factories, smart cities, smart agriculture, smart healthcare and more. Services for IoT Private Networks can include network design and deployment, device management and provisioning, data analytics and visualization, security and compliance, and integration with cloud platforms and applications. By creating services for IoT Private Networks, businesses can help their customers leverage the benefits of IoT while reducing the risks and costs associated with public networks.
