The multi-tenant architecture of Roaming Suite as a Service (RaaS) enables group operators to serve their subscribers on a single platform over a Private Cloud network. Each member of a group operator routes international link traffic to RaaS over private Cloud whereas the Welcome SMS is sent to relevant CSP’s SMS Center. Each member CSP performs its own configuration. This will lead mobile operators reducing their OPEX dramatically
Minimizing costs, maximizing profits. The shortest and the basic definition of a successful organization. After Covid-19, organizations tried to minimize their costs by changing workplaces from offices to houses. Thus, organizations cut off additional expenditures.
Another acquisition of a successful organization is knowing the best place to invest and that time is one of the biggest investments for the organization. This also applies to human resources. As long as organizations guide their employees in the right direction, it becomes highly possible to generate more profits. Time matters.
What is ‘Welcome SMS’?
Subscribers are given useful information such as tariff info, billing details, additional charges, emergency contact numbers, or embassy contact information when they travel abroad. Welcome SMS alerts your subscribers and safeguards them from the danger of bill shock during roaming. The subscribers will feel safe and retained.
In today’s world, cloud services enable organizations to become successful by providing these features. With the help of SaaS, organizations are not obliged to make CapEx. Moreover, they highly avoid OpEx.
As DIRoam, we offer group telcos to minimize their cost by offering our Welcome SMS solution. With our Multi-tenancy feature, group telcos are allowed to combine their Welcome SMS services in one base. Multitenancy structure allows centralizing the management of different operators’ roaming services from one hand which in turn serves operational efficiency to roaming-hub service providers. For instance, if an operator is operating in 4 countries; with our solution, it is possible to combine the Welcome SMS solutions into just one base.
How using RaaS will help GSM Operators to dramatically reduce their OPEX?
Each CSP core network routes the international roaming traffic to the RaaS Network Packet Probing Service over VPN.
The probing service processes the MAP and Diameter stream both seamlessly and individually. Welcome messages are submitted to the relevant CSP’s SMSC while each CSP’s operation engineer performs her own network configurations. Kubernetes orchestrated DiRoam RaaS eliminates manual processes and ensures resilience. DiRoam performs requested configurations for each operator on their behalf, without the need for any other operations and maintenance engineer resources for this platform.
What Is Multi-tenancy?
Multi-tenancy in RaaS is provided by collecting infrastructure, storage, and computing resources in the same single private or public cloud network for each organization. Thus, this collection will benefit organizations in the following cases:
Minimize Operational Costs: Highlighted feature of multi-tenancy is cost-minimizing. As DIRoam, we provide cloud setup and divide costs between teams. According to Nokia (1), moving to SaaS IT solutions will cut costs by 25%. In our solution, cost-cutting will be far beyond 25%. Here is why;
CapEx obligations for telecom operators are also abolished with RaaS since there is no need to allocate physical or virtual resources for each operator.
Maintenance and Updates: As a service provider, DIRoam will be responsible for regular maintenance and updates for the cloud services on behalf of the operators. This will decrease the OpEx and operational workload of organizations.
In addition to the benefits of a Multi-tenant structure, RaaS promises to provide other vital differentiating features as follows:
