● Stability at high throughput● Diameter / billing integration, if required

● Excellent personalized support!

And from an operators view ...

● Low deployment time frames and ease of deployment

● Less time to market for applications (VERY Important)

● OPEX wise its absolutely cheap too

● consolidation is another important bit ( you can consolidate USSD & SMSC ) on one single hardware

● TeleStax Mobicents is very well targeted for M(V)NOs

Inflection Point for SPs

● Line, WhatsApp, Viber, etc. made Messaging and Voice a FREE commodity

● Telco price war and race to the bottom across the industry across the world

● The world is moving to non-metered IP Communications

● Growing costs for data services as more content is consumed

● Getting a 3G license meant being vulnerable to OTTs, how to address that ?

The Opportunity● Legacy telecom infrastructure will remain a key asset for a long time● Moving from traditional vendors to FOSS for lower cost and more flexible

core network components

● Shift to IP communications is accelerating● Real Time Communications is still out of reach for most Web and Mobile

App developers. Enable them to build Services !
