>Volubill and ipoque Partner to Deliver Real-Time Policy Management and Policy Enforcement Engine for Communications Service Providers
Interoperable Solution Reduces Cost of Deployment, Improves Speed of Implementation and Offers Proven Functionality

London, UK & Leipzig, Germany – 21 February, 2012Volubill, the leading provider of real-time policy management and charging solutions, and ipoque, the leading European provider of network intelligence and policy enforcement solutions, today announced that the companies have partnered to provide PCRF and PCEF solutions for fixed and mobile operators. The partnership will create a best-of-breed solution that gives network operators a better understanding of network traffic required to deliver more dynamic and contextualized data service plans.

Volubill's VBS policy and charging control is integrated with ipoque PRX Traffic Manager for Policy Enforcement. The pre-integrated solution, which is already integrated within key Volubill and ipoque customer accounts, will allow operators to rapidly put in place a real-time policy enforcement and policy management engine with proven capabilities, while benefiting from deployment cost reduction and higher speeds of implementation.

"Volubill is focused on providing solutions that will enable network operators to take advantage of the mobile data services revenue opportunity," said John Aalbers, CEO Volubill. "By delivering an interoperable solution that optimizes 3GPP standards, we can help network operators to better understand network traffic behavior and to use that information to improve the personalization of subscriber services and pricing plans while enhancing customer quality of experience."

ipoque's PRX Traffic Manager network policy enforcement and data intelligence solutions can be deployed as either integrated or stand-alone solution. They identify all traffic on the operator network and provide an extensive suite of capabilities to monitor, manage, and monetize application traffic.

"PRX Traffic Manager for Policy Enforcement allows the operator to reduce the cost of operating the network as well as identify and eliminate revenue leakage. It allows service providers to introduce new application-based revenue services that subscribers are demanding in an all-IP world," says Markus Ziegler, CEO of ipoque.
