Digital inCloud
A leading-edge digital service aggregation and distribution platform, Digital inCloud aims to connect global carriers and partners to build up a digital ecosystem. The product aggregates these carriers’ capabilities: payment, message notification, voice/cloud call centres and business operations analysis, acting as a bridge between partners and telcos in digital product distribution and trading, enabling “one-point access to reach all”.
Digital inCloud @ Europe
Digital inCloud @ Europe is hosted on the state-of-the-art MVNX platform, which currently hosts 1 million+ MVNO subscribers across Europe. Huawei European hosting centre, located in the UK, includes a series of off-the-shelf cloud hosting services, detailed below, all available to European operators.
Content/Application-as-a-Service: This service forms a bridge between partners and telcos in digital product distribution and trading. It promotes operator & partner developing their products and services, enabling them to compete globally and to generate revenue securely and transparently. Currently, Huawei has aggregated 200,000+ digital content items from 2100+ content partners worldwide, including digital music, 2700+ mobile games, 20,000+ hours of premium video, live channels, open API and traffic monetization.
Video-as-a-Service: This service aggregates abundant content from either Huawei global partners, or MNO/MVNOs to provide video services to the market. It supports multi-type definitions including SD, HD and 4K(UHD) and users can watch movies and TV shows everywhere, through myriad devices: home TVs, smartphones and tablets.
BSS-as-a-Service: BSS-as-a-Service offers typical prepaid, postpaid, online charging service to light MNVOs, and advanced services to full MNVOs. It operates from a pre-integrated platform to provide fast TTM for a commercial launch and multi-tenant via a proven multi-country, multi-language and multi-time zone solution.
Network-as-a-Service: Huawei’s Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) offering enables operators to capture customer behaviour data. Huawei hosted core network components and Value Added Services (VAS) can be integrated into operators’ current IT landscape or Huawei-hosted IT solution. The service enables an IN MVNO independent from their network operator and to grow into a Full MVNO in future.
Digital Channel: Huawei Digital channel establishes a convenient channel between operator and subscriber through in-browser touch points, featuring real-time awareness of usage/service, real-time online subscription, account management and context-aware promotions with highly improved user experience.
Mobile Payment: This service provides the MVNO with a mobile-based wireless or proximity payment solution via low-cost, high-speed payment channels. Huawei’s vision will see the standard mobile financial service (cash in/cash out/P2P transfer/Utility payment/Airtime top up) evolving into a fully-enabled MFS platform (Micro finance/Merchant Alliance/POS Integration/Bank and Payment Network Integration).
Huawei developed Digital inCloud @ Europe in response to European Operators’ need for a convenient cooperation process with Partners, access to global high-quality digital resources, more efficient monetization of digital assets and effective service operations. Following Huawei Digital inCloud’s successful unveiling in Bali, where Huawei signed a memorandum of understanding with 15 partners of the Digital inCloud Program, Huawei has again today signed a memorandum of understanding with 9 partners in London. Huawei aims to accrue up to 4000 Digital inCloud Program partners in 2016.
In 2016, the Digital inCloud Telecom Capability Cloud Service will complete the capability aggregation of more than 300 carriers globally. Huawei & partners will accelerate the digital service transformation of operators in Europe, and build a carrier-centric digital service value chain & ecosystem, to achieve win-win business success.
