Wireless Maingate Selects Blueslice Networks to Power its Pan-European M2M Expansion Strategy
Recent win establishes Blueslice as a leading supplier of M2M solutions
Blueslice Networks has announced that Wireless Maingate, Europe’s leading M2M enabler has selected the Blueslice ngHLR 3000™ as the main repository in which it will provision all of its modules. The ngHLR 3000™ will play a key role in Maingate’s ambitious plan to expand throughout Europe while maintaining full control of its subscriber base and service offering in a cost-efficient manner.
Blueslice Networks, the leading provider of subscriber management solutions for Mobile, VoIP, and FMC, is also an innovator in the M2M space. The ngHLR 3000™ has a suite of applications designed specifically for the requirements within M2M. Blueslice’s M2M-specific feature suite offers Maingate the control of Blueslice’s patent-pending Multi-IMSI for low-cost roaming in fleet management applications, the access to real-time device information and exact timing of device activation and deployment, as well as the opportunity for multiple agreements for roaming and network independence.
Using Blueslice’s platform, Maingate will focus on further developing their Automatic Meter Reading application and their Fleet Management division throughout Europe. This deal is yet another validation of the growing demand for M2M exploitation. “By implementing the Blueslice Solution, Maingate can now have a consistent service offering throughout all their addressable markets,” said Stephan Ouaknine, President and CEO of Blueslice Networks.
“Maingate’s strategy is to offer services beyond country borders in Europe and the rest of the world, so it is imperative that there is a cost-effective way to manage roaming features,” commented Robert Bellwaldius, CTO of Maingate. “The Blueslice solution includes support for multiple IMSI identities, which will make it easier for us to define propositions which will be challenging for other carriers to offer. Moreover, this state-of-the-art solution will easily integrate with our Maingate M2M platforms. By selecting Blueslice, we get a solution which will support our future needs.”
