The 30-day MVNO launch is real — but only if your MNO agreement, SIM vendor, and product catalog are locked before Day 1. Here’s the week-by-week breakdown of what actually happens, what causes delays, and how to avoid them.
An Online Charging System (OCS) is the real-time billing engine inside a telecom network. It authorizes a service, deducts balance or quota as the service is used, and updates the subscriber’s account instantly — before the next session starts. It is what makes prepaid, postpaid, and 5G services chargeable in real time, and it is […]
BSS modernisation is the practical core of telecom digital transformation. The operators that get it right modernise in phases, lead with customer experience and AI, and pick proof points over generic benefits. This post covers what operators actually gain — across CX, data, agility, automation, and 5G monetisation — with examples from Alepo deployments […]
A telecom billing system is the software that turns subscriber activity into revenue. It captures every call, data session, and digital transaction, applies the operator’s pricing rules, and produces an accurate invoice or prepaid balance update. When a telecom billing system works well, subscribers get charged correctly, partners get settled on time, and the operator […]
Your legacy BSS was built for a different era, one where service catalogues changed once a year, prepaid and postpaid lived in separate stacks, and ‘digital self-care’ meant an IVR menu. That era is over, and the gap between what legacy BSS can do and what your subscribers expect is widening every quarter. According to […]
When a customer places an order, what happens next can make or break your operation. For regional ISPs, MVNOs, and private LTE operators, that moment triggers a chain of handoffs across billing systems, provisioning tools, and fulfilment queues, that were never designed to talk to each other. The result: delayed activations, manual workarounds, and customer […]
Discover how digital BSS slash telecom service launch time from months to weeks. Learn how unified product catalogs, API-first integration, and embedded AI reduce time-to-market by up to 60%. Why Legacy BSS Can’t Keep Up Anymore Telecom and digital service providers are under intense pressure to launch new offers faster, 5G services, IoT bundles, OTT […]
MVNOs wait months for BSS deployment before generating first revenue. Pre-configured systems sit idle during lengthy integration cycles. Alepo’s BSS Now cuts launch time from quarters to one week for small operators. The Launch Delay Traditional BSS deployment requires months of infrastructure setup before configuration even begins. Teams procure hardware, install software, configure networks, and […]
The 3GPP Home Subscriber Server (HSS) is integral to any IMS or LTE network. It enables provides OSS services to migrate to 4G, enables policy decisions, and more.
