Finnish telecommunications vendor Nokia introduced software-as-a-service AVA Charging to help communication service providers and enterprises commercialise offerings for 5G and IoT use cases.

Using software consumed on demand through a subscription-based model, Nokia AVA Charging incorporates business intelligence derived from customer engagements to provide monetisation of 5G and IoT services.

AVA Charging ramps time to market for new CSP services through automation and no-code charging configurability, Nokia said.

It supports environments and can be used by communication service providers (CSPs) to monetise consumer services like cloud gaming, as well as enterprise services for vertical markets, including utilities, logistics, and healthcare.

The new SaaS offering can be integrated with 5G standalone core network functions in a multivendor environment to support commercial charging models based on low latency, high throughput, device density, and location.

It can also be deployed as part of the Nokia / Qvantel Digital Monetisation Solution as a service, which combines Qvantel’s Flex BSS and Nokia AVA Charging.

This provides a fast- track approach for CSPs to have a separate BSS stack to support new 5G opportunities.

According to Nokia, this is their eighth SaaS service following the launches of AVA Network Data Analytics Function and AVA for Energy.

“Nokia’s timely offer of a SaaS based no-code charging solution will accelerate monetisation for CSPs who realise the need to transform their charging systems for 5G, but hesitate due to lengthy BSS transformation cycles and 5G network integration complexities,” said Analysis Mason principal analyst John Abraham.

“This latest addition to our SaaS arsenal supports CSPs and enterprises in having a dynamic digital infrastructure through 5G network components delivered as SaaS; and provides them with the necessary pay-as-you-go, pay-as-you-grow commercial model to help them reach their desired business outcomes,” said Nokia senior vice president cloud and network services Mark Bunn.
