Bonsai Networks today announced that it will license its advanced Wi-Fi OSS/Billing platform to other billing software providers. Bonsai Networks has developed software solutions that support the commercialization of Wi-Fi, network-to-network roaming and convergence of Wi-Fi with pubic mobile networks.

"We developed one of the most advanced OSS/Billing platforms for service providers and carriers offering a complete Wi-Fi deployment solution. We are making our technology and know-how available to other billing software providers," said Andrew Burroughs, Chief Operating Officer of Bonsai Networks. "The Bonsai 2.0 Service Enablement Platform is a natural addition to any billing software provider's convergent billing platform, quickly giving them the ability to provide Wi-Fi session information via Bonsai's robust and flexible Wi-Fi mediation and rating functionality," concludes Burroughs.

In addition to the Wi-Fi mediation capabilities that the Bonsai 2.0 SEP offers are a host of other features that will allow a Billing software provider to add increased value and differentiation to their product.

-- Reduction of customer churn through the addition of a highly

valued added service.

reporting and up-sale marketing opportunities.

-- Rapid time-to-market for new Wi-Fi product offerings.
