LTE Real-time Billing Support Systems (BSS) Operational Issues
and Market Opportunities
Published on June 2013
Report Summary
Overview:
Fourth generation (4G) cellular via the Long Term Evolution (LTE) standard is transforming the entire mobile communications
ecosystem. One of the profound ways that mobile will never be the same is the wide range of applications that will available that were
heretofore impractical due to previous bandwidth constraints. Many of these applications will be video-based, or otherwise requiring
real-time QoS as well as real-time billing.
This report includes market analysis of the real-time LTE BSS market, BSS/OSS market as a whole, and several case studies on the
use of real-time billing functions in an LTE environment. The research also includes forecasting in several key areas.
Target Audience:
' Mobile network operators
' Wireless device manufacturers
' OSS/BSS companies of all types
' Mobile application store companies
' LTE and OSS/BSS infrastructure providers
' Application, content, and commerce providers
Report Benefits:
' Forecasts for various aspects of LTE
' Identify and understand trends in LTE billing
' Understand driving forces for real-time billing
' Understand next generation infrastructure such as IMS
