WAKEFIELD, Mass., Oct. 14, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- With the opening dates rapidly approaching for the World Cup and the Olympics, Comverse, a global leader in telecom business enablement, brings communication service providers (CSPs) at Futurecom (October 21-24, 2013 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) effective new tools and strategies for digital services, BSS and smart data management & monetization.
Analysts forecast that the 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Olympics in Brazil will significantly increase demand for mobile services and bandwidth. According to the GSMA Brazil Mobile Observatory, the World Cup is expected to bring over a million roaming connections, generating upwards of 300% of the normal data traffic1. With the Olympics also predicted to generate unprecedented amounts of data traffic, revenue generation from these and other opportunities is a key challenge for CSPs.
In light of these exciting opportunities, Raman Abrol, Managing Director, Caribbean and Latin America at Comverse, will address a key session at Latin America's premier telecom event. In his presentation Compete to Win: 2014 World Cup, 2016 Olympics and Beyond, Abrol will demonstrate how innovative solutions and approaches from Comverse – from BSS and communication convergence to integration with the social media and beyond – can enable CSPs to enhance their customers' experience and generate additional revenues.
"Drawing from three decades of worldwide experience with a significant regional presence, Comverse will demonstrate how its rich and innovative portfolio of solutions helps service providers to successfully seize the opportunities associated with today's digital lifestyle based on 4G, data and all-IP through service innovation and smart monetization," said Abrol.
