Openwave Announces Latest Potential Cost Savings Figures for Smart User Repository

CTIA Wireless 2011

Openwave Systems Inc. (Nasdaq:OPWV), a global software innovator delivering context-aware mediation and messaging solutions, today announced their latest release of Openwave^® Smart User Repository, a solution which can enable operators to lower their Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) by up to 95 percent through significant (15x) performance improvements compared to existing subscriber data management (SDM) deployments. This release has also been tested to better manage 300M subscriber entries at less than 1 millisecond of latency and can assist operators with their SDM needs. Tier one carriers can deploy this higher performing software and achieve significant performance improvements.

“The dramatic decrease in TCO and improvement in performance underscores the powerful scalability of Smart User Repository and the solution’s ability to bring bottom line value to the network and enable superior SDM,” said John Giere, senior vice president of products and marketing, Openwave. “As operators continuously face growing amounts of data traffic volumes that can include a large surge in over the top services and applications, integrated solutions like Smart User Repository can help them more rapidly access user profile and policy information to efficiently manage data in a very cost effective manner. The highly distributable nature of the Smart User Repository allows availability of subscriber profile data on a near real time basis from any part of the network – core or the edge -- which is a very important consideration for operators who are deploying 4G networks or moving access gateways to the edge in their 3G networks.”

Smart User Repository is a highly scalable, highly reliable subscriber data management solution built on the proven foundation of Openwave’s directory technology. Smart User Repository offers high speed, low latency user profile and policy access that is specifically designed to assist operators in managing their increasing data traffic. Because of its highly scalable and reliable architecture, Openwave’s Smart User Repository is an excellent candidate for operators’ 3GPP subscriber profile repository (SPR) and user data repository (UDR) requirements, particularly as operators move quickly to deploy policy infrastructure addressing the increasing traffic loads brought about by the data tsunami.
