BSS/OSS automation for smart cities

Smart cities are set to revolutionise modern urban living, with high-speed networks and fully connected city infrastructure providing the foundation for a more efficient and sustainable way of life. To deliver on this promise requires back-office systems that can not only scale to support millions of connected devices and sensors, but also provide the flexibility to enable new business models that drive innovation for city planners and digital service providers.

Based on the company's BSS/OSS Suite, Cerillion Metro is a powerful BSS/OSS solution for smart cities which automates smart city operations and enables the monetisation of connectivity, utilities and ICT services, across consumer and business segments, and through both retail and wholesale business models, all in one convergent platform.
