Bangalore-based provider of operations and business support systems, Subex Limited, today announced the launch of Velocity for mobile and converged service providers tocut down operational expenditure.

Based on technology from Subex and Nokia Siemens Networks, Velocity targets mobile and converged service providers offering both next generation mobile services as well as traditional wireless and wireline services aimed at significantly reducing the time and cost involved in the introduction of new services to customers.

''Velocity is our step towards enabling all service providers to practice and maintain lean and agile operations while transforming their systems to provide new services," said Mark Nicholson, CTO, Subex Ltd. "With Velocity, our customers have a one-stop-shop for all their service fulfillment needs across wireline, mobile and converged services.''

Subex says Using Velocity, service providers can "dramatically increase ARPU from data services" through automatic configuration of the subscriber's device, making it easier for subscribers to try new services, as it is pre-integrated and modular in nature, giving customers flexible service creation and delivery solutions for next generation of wireless and converged offerings.

Velocity is claimed to help service providers significantly cut down operational expenditure by reducing the number of systems and integration points required for enabling new services. Service providers can further reduce expenditure on customer support through automation by getting service configuration right the first time, while also reducing the time to market for new services.

We look forward to working with Subex to help service providers with easy and efficient provisioning of next-generation mobile and converged services.''
