Connection Services

WELCOME

Connection Services provide enabling technology to the Wireless Service Businesses of major telecommunications companies. The technologies are delivered on a managed service business model and cover the whole range of operational and business support systems requirements of those organisations.

These wireless service provision businesses are operating in one of the fastest growing segments of the telecommunications market and need to be both agile and innovative with the introduction of new products and services. Connection Services specialise in supporting those needs, working primarily with the product management and marketing teams of the WiSP Businesses. At the same time the approach taken by Connection Services recognises the need to enable seamless integration of the WiSP business with the existing systems of their parent organisations, which are often massive telecommunications businesses.

The following are examples of the managed services which Connection Services operate:

  • Public Directory Services
    The aggregation of hotspot location data from the WiSP business and its roaming partners into a central data repository and provision of web services for access by public consumers needing to find locations where they can access the service.

  • eVoucher Gateway Services
    The provision of a public web service as a store front for the sale of prepaid vouchers for access to public WiFi services. This includes the interface to credit card payment collection mechanisms and the issuing of access credentials (such as username and password) to enable end users to gain access. A large proportion of public WiFi service access is, in fact, paid for by the purchase of such eVouchers as a convenience for immediate access, at a specific point of use such as a café, hotel, or airport.

  • Session Control Services
    Involvement in the initial authentication of an end user identity and the granting of access to end users to various levels of service ranging from simple general internet service provision, to restricted access to specific services such as educational services for schools etc.

  • Location and User Aware Content Delivery
    Dynamic generation/modification of the content of services based on user identity and/or location.

The company has acquired a wealth of experience of delivering such services and an impressive list of existing customers. To find out more, contact us
