, May 3-4. NV2 is the next generation of ACE*COMM's award winning convergent mediation solution, which has evolved dramatically to meet the demands of carrier's mediation and collection environments.

NV2 uses advanced technologies and techniques to control, moderate, and facilitate the interactive communication between multiple network technologies and software support systems, without sacrificing support for critical legacy network and infrastructure investments.

"NV2 is the industry's first hyperconvergent platform," said Chris Couch People named Chris Couch include:
  • Chris Couch (born 1982), Software Developer.
  • Chris Couch (born 1973), American golfer.
  • Chris Couch, Australian broadcaster.
, ACE*COMM's Chief Marketing Officer. "Our established service provider customers want to take advantage of new network technologies without sacrificing existing OSS infrastructure. They want to tap into new services like MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service) An enhanced transmission service that enables graphics, video clips and sound files to be transmitted via cellphones. Developed as part of the 3GPP project, MMS phones are generally backward compatible with SMS and EMS. , phone-based gaming, IPTV (Internet Protocol TV) Also called "TV over IP," IPTV delivers scheduled TV programs and video-on-demand (VOD) via the IP protocol and digital streaming techniques used to watch video on the Internet. , and VoIP to increase revenues, expand market share, and increase customer loyalty - while still extracting returns on their existing network investments. NV2 was developed with these challenges in mind."

Based on core ACE*COMM technology and expertise, the NV2 product suite enables the flow of information in hyperconvergent environments by removing traditional application barriers that delay or even prevent the incorporation of new products and services. NV2 uses advanced technologies and techniques for the simultaneous and multi-directional flow of information. It supports the service provider's legacy network investment while allowing the full exploitation of new service and technologies.

Key benefits of NV2 include: a faster time-to-market for new products and services allowing service providers to profit from their innovations in record time; and reduced cost and operational impact for the ramping up of new products and services.

NV2 is composed of the following core products:

--Data Collection is the gateway from the network, collecting all network available information including events (data, usage), configuration, SS7, metrics, etc., directly from network elements. Data Collection provides a single and consistent interface with the service providers' network for the collection of all data relative to the NEs deployed within that network.

--The Activation Gateway provides a single, coherent, convergent platform for the provisioning and activation of services on the physical network. It controls and secures network access ensuring only authorized individuals are granted access and that all provisioning requests are processed in a timely and efficient manner.

--Intelligent Charging provides the means to compute values based on current business intelligence. Computed values may represent charges associated with delivered services, content cost, loyalty points, or any other unit that represents a value to a service provider or its customers.

--Advanced Mediation handles the acquisition, validation, transformation, and transportation of business intelligence data. Advanced Mediation provides a multi-directional routing mechanism by which information acquired may be disseminated throughout the carriers' enterprise.

What is Hyperconvergence?

Hyperconvergence is the rapid and ongoing merger of many different telecommunications components and groups that traditionally have been very different or even opposed. Many of these components and groups are themselves in a converging state; for example, converging network technologies (GSM, CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) A method for transmitting simultaneous signals over a shared portion of the spectrum. The foremost application of CDMA is the digital cellular phone technology from QUALCOMM that operates in the 800 MHz band and 1.9 GHz PCS band. , IP, PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) The worldwide voice telephone network. Once only an analog system, the heart of most telephone networks today is all digital. In the U.S.  etc), converging support systems (post and prepaid billing), and converging markets (telecom, cable, broadband, TV). Hyperconvergence does not respect traditional network boundaries and software applications - its management requires a single control point capable of simultaneous communication Simultaneous Communication, Sim-Com or Sign Supported Speech (SSS) is a technique sometimes utilized by deaf, hard-of-hearing or hearing sign language persons in which both a spoken language and a manual variant of that language (such as English and Manually  with all components within the service provider's back office, coordinating the flow of business-critical information throughout the enterprise.
