NEW YORK—PWC Consulting, part of New York-based PricewaterhouseCoopers, introduced to the North American market its New World Networks Mobile IP Solution, designed to allow carriers and enterprises to bring advanced services to market quickly using currently available network infrastructure.
“The two critical questions carriers are asking today are ‘How can we deliver advanced wireless services now?’ and ‘How can we bill for these services?’,” said Michael Reuschel, leader of the New World Networks initiative.
“Our Mobile IP offering can be integrated with 802.11 and other existing infrastructure, so carriers can both provide and bill for content-based wireless services long before 2.5G or 3G networks become a reality. When the new network infrastructure does come on line, the Mobile IP solution is designed to migrate easily in order to support these technologies as well.”
PWC Consulting said its IP Solution will permit wireless subscribers to access support functions, including ordering, content delivery management and billing, directly from their handsets, without operator intervention. The system is able to bill multiple parties and collect payments on behalf of third parties.
