TCOMB 101 Telecoms Industry Outlook
Many challenges and opportunities face the ever-changing communications industry over the next few years, and this module provides a comprehensive analysis of the current situation, as well as predicting future trends, growth markets and technologies – and the strategies that are likely to be employed. The aim is to provide a clearer picture of the way ahead – enabling more informed decisions and choices.
TCOMB 102 Value Added Services (VAS)
As average revenue per user decrease from voice drops, and voice becomes commoditized, Telcos are increasingly looking at other sources of an additional revenue stream. The end users have also embraced VAS and it contributes substantial additional revenues to different Telcos. Thus Mobile VAS has become an important element in the growth of mobile telephony. This course explores the various aspects of VAS.
TCOMB 103 Telecommunication Regulatory Issues
As in many other industries, regulators of the telecommunications industry have aimed to bring affordable products and services to the general public, while at the same time allowing participating companies to make adequate profits.
All levels of government regulate telecommunications, from the city that controls the placement of telephone wires up to the nation state which issues licenses to broadcast. Because of the nature of telecommunications and the importance of the information it carries, national and international politics are also heavily involved. The purpose of this course is to investigate the institutions that affect the use of telecommunications. Some time will be devoted to the various parts of the government that are involved in this endeavor, such as the Department of Telecommunication, TRAI and TDSAT. The major thrust of the course will be toward the role of international institutions, including the ITU, and UNESCO
This course also includes Tariffs, Billings, Arbitration, cost/ benefit analysis, regulation, policy, Quality of Service performance of Basic and Cellular Mobile Telephone service, TRAI act, Interconnect Agreement, Universal service obligation.
TCOMB 104 Telecom Billing Fundamentals
This course is the guide to telecommunications billing. The outline encompasses the entire end-to-end billing processes, with major focus on the interfaces with OSSs, BSS, network management, finance, marketing, pricing and customer support.
TCOMB 105 IP Billing Fundamentals
Converged telecommunication billing services stand on the verge of radical change. The old rules of circuit switched networks do not apply in the Internet Protocol (IP) world. With the advent of more complex types of applications and services, the usage details required to bill activity must therefore be more dynamic.
TCOMB 106 Interconnect Billing Fundamentals
Description:
The end of traditional monopolies and the explosive growth in the number of carriers means that Interconnect billing is beginning to supplant the old, inflexible and costly Accounting Rate System. For carriers new and old alike, Interconnect is a crucially important element of the revenue stream. This expert 2-day seminar gives a real insider's view of how to bill this, one of the fastest growing segments of the market.
TCOMB 107 GPRS and UMTS Billing Fundamentals
GPRS and UMTS IP-based billing is derived from Internet usage records (IURs), which are similar to the call detail records (CDRs) of circuit switched billing. The IUR utilizes fields and functions from the traditional CDR and extends it to monitor a broader range of parameters encompassing:
Session length,
Packet,
Transaction,
Service level, or
CPU usage.
TCOMB 108 Revenue Assurance Fundamentals
We examine the root causes of billing errors and their potential impact. Tried and tested techniques are described for assessing current performance levels, setting appropriate performance targets, and managing the technology and business processes to achieve an optimal level of revenue assurance. The business case for implementing and maintaining a revenue assurance function is examined and examples of current regulation and the obligations placed on operators are described.
TCOMB 109 Billing Mediation Fundamentals
In a telecommunications network environment, various Network Elements like telephone switches encode and store accounting data, known as Call Detail Records (CDRs), in different formats. The mediation Platforms collect this data, converts it into a normalized output format, and then distributes it to third-party applications such as billing, traffic analysis, fraud management systems etc.
These platform enable service providers to tie in multiple types of network elements into a homogenous architecture. It can handle multiple switches with wide variety of network interface options. It is scalable, open, flexible and highly manageable and is available as a simple low-cost platform to high-end high-availability clustering platform.
This course is the guide to telecommunications billing mediation. The outline encompasses the entire billing mediation processes end-to-end, with major focus on the interfaces with OSSs, BSS, network management, and CRM.
TCOMB 110 Telecom Fraud Mangement
"Telecommunications fraud is one of the largest causes of revenue loss for service providers," said Mr. Idelson. "With the advent of new services such as 2.5G, 3G and VoIP, and as telecom fraud becomes increasingly sophisticated, this problem will only become compounded. To combat this, service providers will need advanced systems that can detect all types of fraud. Failure to do so may result in substantial revenue loss, and no operator can afford that today."
