Netcracker Technology has announced the launch of its Digital Satellite Solution, a blueprint for multi-orbit IT that radically transforms how satellite operators manage, optimize and monetize their business.
Utilizing this new solution, operators can guarantee the best service quality at any time, deliver a premium digital engagement to their customers and expand their business with any offer to any customer worldwide.
Addressing Advanced Satellite Challenges
Recent advancements in low Earth orbit (LEO) and geostationary (GEO) satellites, including direct-to-device (D2D) technology, present new opportunities to offer advanced and affordable communications to remote locations, close mobile coverage gaps and equip diverse vertical industries with mission-critical communications.
However, advanced satellite services create significant challenges. The business and operational environments were not designed for highly dynamic operations across space and Earth, deep integration with telco 4G/5G and fixed networks or a complex global customer base with digitization at the center.
The ground-breaking Netcracker Digital Satellite Solution addresses these specific needs, building on Netcracker’s leadership in telco BSS/OSS digital transformation and extensive satellite experience powering advanced LEO and GEO satellite networks.
“Recent developments in satellite technology are changing the telecom landscape by providing advanced communications, including in the air, at sea, and in vast parts of the planet not currently covered by 5G or fiber,” noted Andy Hicks, Senior Principal Analyst at GlobalData. “Netcracker Digital Satellite Solution is designed to address the significant complexities of these highly dynamic and multi-domain services through an innovative IT environment for multi-orbit satellites that will help operators deliver the best service to their customers.”
