MATRIXX Software, a contributor in monetisation solutions, has announced monetisation and revenue management support for satellite and non-terrestrial network (NTN) service offerings. With MATRIXX, telecoms operators partnering with NTN providers can monetise satellite services with a variety of dynamic commercial models. The MATRIXX platform helps to quickly and efficiently launch new packages for consumer and enterprise offerings as well as manage and settle wholesale relationships between telcos and NTNs.
The Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite market is experiencing rapid growth, enabling telecoms operators to extend their terrestrial coverage footprint to previously unreached areas. Recent telco-NTN partnership announcements include One New Zealand, T-Mobile USA and Japan’s KDDI with Starlink, and Verizon and Vodafone with AST SpaceMobile. As demand increases for global connectivity, telecoms operators and NTN providers alike are looking to capitalise on that market growth and quickly integrate capabilities and offers.
Known for enabling commercial innovation, MATRIXX integrates revenue management for terrestrial and NTN services, allowing operators to launch, monitor, adapt and monetise satellite offerings with ease and scalability. Most telecoms operators are burdened with antiquated charging and billing systems that require effort, time and investment to extend support for satellite services. MATRIXX unlocks commercial innovation with its no-code platform designed with open, standards-based APIs for both network and IT integration. This speeds time to market for entirely new offerings such as satellite services, cloud infrastructure and artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities and delivers simplified operations across the revenue lifecycle.
Empowering service providers with expanded offerings
New revenue streams: By integrating NTN-based services into their terrestrial and mobile services, telcos are simultaneously expanding their coverage to underserved geographies while providing enhanced service levels to growing segments including emergency services and first responders. Operators can develop new revenue streams by attracting new subscriber segments and offering additional services to their existing base, while expanding their reach without investment in their land-based infrastructure. Meanwhile, NTN providers can capture a growing portion of the global telecom market, gaining access to numerous new customers and fresh investments from their partners.
Unified platform: With MATRIXX, service providers can efficiently manage consumer, business and wholesale billing relationships in a single, integrated solution, supporting a variety of freemium plans, subscriptions, usage-based billing, roaming, threshold-based consumption notifications and on-demand billing for any payment model: prepaid, postpaid or pay-as-you-go.
“The recent surge in mobile-NTN partnerships and commercial launches demonstrates how operators can deliver superior services and customer experiences for increasingly pervasive connected services,” said Marc Price, the chief technology officer of MATRIXX Software. “Investments in 5G networks and direct-to-device satellite communications are paving the way for a more diverse market, where dynamic pricing and billing capabilities across the participant ecosystem enables revenue growth and return on these investments.”
