Nexign, a leading provider of BSS and digitalization solutions, is driving new monetization opportunities for communications service providers (CSPs) by unveiling cost-efficient, AI-powered products. They help CSPs accelerate business growth in emerging areas such as Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite connectivity, 5G Non-Terrestrial Networks (5G NTN), and 5G Standalone (SA) services.

Advancing Satellite-to-Cellphone Connectivity

With satellite-to-cellphone technology gaining momentum worldwide, 42 countries are already investing in partnerships that promise to open new revenue streams for CSPs. New use cases include extended coverage, IoT connectivity in remote areas, enhanced resilience for critical communications, and connectivity for the aviation and maritime industries.

To address this demand, Nexign BSS now enables satellite operators to launch and monetize LEO satellite services based on 5G NTN technology. The solution automates and optimizes business processes, such as customer service, product configuration, and monetization. It can also manage the full lifecycle for satellite terminals: ordering, sales, warranty service, and remote diagnostics. Additionally, Nexign BSS supports geo-dependent rating and charging, country- and region-specific service access policies, and service-level agreements tailored to satellite industry requirements, such as latency, jitter, and availability. The platform’s architecture provides satellite operators with the flexibility to deliver services across B2C, B2B, and B2G segments, monetize B2B2C scenarios, including wholesale agreements, for example, for airlines and mobile network operators (MNOs).

Supporting Efficient 5G SA Monetization

The rollout of 5G SA networks is accelerating. Today, 173 operators in 70 countries are investing in public deployments, while 77 have already launched or trialed 5G SA services, according to GSA. In the Middle East, 5G SA development is advancing in a strategic manner, led by Gulf countries, such as the UAE and Saudi Arabia. However, despite this growth, CSPs continue to face the challenge of balancing large-scale capital expenditures with network complexity arising from managing hybrid 2G/3G/4G/5G networks.
