The NetQuest Advantage

MOU BillBacker is a centralized server application that works in conjunction with NetQuest’s Net(s)CCS and NetAnalyzer (patented accurate CDR generation obtained directly from SS7, IP and ATM network) to derive revenue and profitability enhancing minutes of use NPA-NXX and OPC/DPC studies. MOU BillBacker is an ideal source of information for inter-carrier billing, validation, and verification. Traffic and route engineering departments can also benefit as studies exactly pinpointing routes, busy hours, types of traffic, incomplete call minutes of use hold times, etc. This information can greatly enhance carriers’ bottom lines.

Dramatic Return on Investment

MOUBillBacker offers carriers a way to bill, verify their bills, and understand their traffic patterns within their networks and with the carriers they are connected to. Carriers with MOUBillBacker have recovered their investment within as little of a month of operation.

The Problem

“Minutes of Use” (Inbound/Outbound and complete and incomplete by NPA/NXX and OPC/DPC) information is many times obscure, difficult to attain, and tends to be extremely inaccurate from ordinary sources. Even our competitors’ SS7 network management systems that do not have 100% accuracy in their CDR generation will not be able to properly handle these reports to make the non-disputable. “Minutes of Use” studies are very valuable information for inter-carrier billing and contract negotiations. If exact and accurate minutes of use studies are not attained resultant revenue leakages, unrealized profitability, incorrect business decisions may possibly be made.

The Solution

NetQuest’s MOU BillBacker automatically collects the minutes of use reports directly from the Net(s)CCS and NetAnalyzer. It correlates these reports into any length of time report by a variety of criteria (other carriers, services, regions, switches, customers, etc.). Ultimately, NetQuest’s MOU BillBacker System addresses the need for single and multi-topology network management system that focuses on solutions for minutes of use network optimization and business revenue maximization.

Key Benefits

Ideal Source for Minutes of Use Studies Synergistic SS7, IP, ATM Network Management System Approach Unique Patented Solutions Accurate Billing Source Detailed Inter-Carrier Billing/Validation Comprehensive Revenue Assurance

"Real Data" Traffic Engineering Multi-User Environment Data Obtained Directly From Network (SS7/IP/ATM) Incredible Scalability Integrated Domestic and International Design

NetAnalyzer Process

Tekno Telecom’s NetQuest the front end component utilizing patented hardware and software, Net(s)CCS and NetAnalyzer, non-intrusively connects to multiple high-speed ATM, SS7 and Ethernet links to decode and correlate ATM cells, SS7 MSUs, IP packets etc. This decoded and correlated information is then processed into filterable and formatable call detail records (CDRs) with 100% accuracy in "real-time". Simultaneously Net(s)CCS and NetAnalyzer actually develop “minutes of use” reports internally and do not require expensive servers locally. The MOU BillBacker centralized server collect the processed “minutes of use” reports from single or multiple Net(s)CCSs and NetAnalyzers and analyze the information with canned and user defined reports to present this information to multiple internal departments within a carrier with security clearance.

Conclusion

NetQuest’s MOU BillBacker provides carriers with total network analysis and the resultant knowledge of what is occurring within their own networks and how it affects their customers, vendors and inter-connected carriers from a “minutes of use” perspective. Uniquely designed to process the data directly from SS7, IP and ATM telephony networks with a unified and accurate network management approach. This knowledge provides carriers with definitive information with which to make decisions that will enhance revenue, profitability and overall customer satisfaction.
