Artilium announces Integration Partnership with Expeto Wireless inc. ("Expeto") giving MVNOs unprecedented agility and scale by managing their own core network

● Enabling MVNO's to control revenue leakage and thus increase margin

● Enhancing Over the Top ("OTT") services

● Real time policy control

14.OCT.2015 - Brugge, Belgium and Vancouver, Canada - Artilium and Expeto today announced the availability and integration between Artilium's cloud deployment and management platform and Expeto's cloud-native telecom core network Platform as a Service ("PaaS"). The result is an MVNO operation and deployment environment capable of real-time creation, management and control of mobile data services and its required capacity, together with true cloud scalability.

The environment enables telecom providers to deliver, manage and monitor telecom services, including core network services, in a PaaS model. Core network management leads to drastic risk mitigation in the form of real time data leakage management. This allows MVNOs to increase their margin significantly.

Cloud scale translates into an immediate reduction of hardware and offers high availability and resilience. The complete solution allows MVNOs to concentrate on their core differentiation while improving their margins. MVNOs can now quickly drive, react or respond to client or customer requirements faster than their competition, and even their own Mobile Network Operator ("MNO") partners.

According to Bart Weijermars, CEO of Artilium; "MVNOs are consistently cornered into competing over cost. The Artilium and Expeto solution allows MVNOs to move beyond the focus on cost and into the realm of service and product innovation. Using software based deployment methodologies, rather than traditional, static telco ones, MVNOs are able to embrace technologies such as Network Functions Virtualization ("NFV") in order to take advantage of cost reductions and scale advantages, as well as platform agility."

Ryley MacKenzie, CEO of Expeto, commented; "Virtualization technologies have been around for many years but how core networks are deployed is a very different story. Telecom has specific requirements, different from most industries; latency and jitter, for example, play a much bigger role when architecting platforms - especially those deployed either in a hybrid or cloud environment. Born in the cloud, environments scale differently and require a much more specific deployment and management skill set."
