Quiconnect Announces Virtual Network Enablement Solution

Would you like to be able to offer customers simple and secure connections to mobile broadband networks around the world? Quiconnect creates global virtual networks that offer customers a consistent user experience – one user name, one password, one log-in page, one bill.

With a virtual network your customers can use your mobile broadband service around the world, without the need for a difficult and resource intensive set up. Quiconnect offers account providers worldwide coverage and flexibility, with voice over wireless IP and roaming support. We can also provide advanced services such as Secure Closed-Loop (SCL) roaming and Dynamic Wholesale Pricing (DWP).

The Quiconnect solution includes:

• An expanded global footprint - Quiconnect brings together account providers and network operators to create a consistent experience for your customer. This includes aggregation services and a focus on airport coverage. Your customers will be able to connect to voice over wireless IP and data services and you can accept or decline roaming at any network operator.
• Full Authentication, Authorisation and Accounting (AAA) services, you can control access and you never lose touch with your customers.
• Dynamic Wholesale Pricing (DWP) - Quiconnect encourages and supports flexible pricing across locations and services so that you can monitor costs and revenue and your customers can receive a local price.
• Secure Closed-Loop (SCL) roaming - SCL ensures that customers have a secure experience that makes them feel they are directly on your network, even though they may be on a network on the other side of the world. With SCL customers never get hijacked.
• Advanced Voice over wireless IP - Quiconnect offers an additional feature to enable roaming support specifically suited for connections using standard protocols. This will include network capability and functionality monitoring, flexible pricing structures to support voice compared to data, and agreements with key VoIP service enablers.
• Quiconnect maintains a high level of flexibility with its services offering. This allows account providers to extend their global footprint and for network operators to substantially increase take up & revenue.
