Connectiv Solutions Signs Client to netCLARUS

nTelos wireless Deepens Visibility Across Network, Including SMS Messaging

BETHESDA, MD – DECEMBER 17, 2010 -Today, Connectiv Solutions, the network efficiency experts, announced that long-standing client nTelos wireless has signed a multi-year contract for its flagship product netCLARUS. netCLARUS will provide nTelos wireless with deeper visibility across the communication carrier’s enterprise, providing the most comprehensive network analytics solution available.

In addition to nTelos wireless, several leading telecommunications carriers are utilizing netCLARUS to achieve cost savings in their variable network expenses. netCLARUS provides a wealth of network usage information through a single web portal, creating a scalable solution for providers of every size. As a suite of software modules, netCLARUS is an enterprise resource center for traffic cost management and planning. Individual business units of a carrier have specific challenges that must be addressed in unique ways. The netCLARUS modules are tailored to tackle these issues head-on, increasing productivity.

Unlike traditional systems where client personnel spend countless hours manipulating data feeds and requirements, netCLARUS quickly transforms billions of call detail records into clear and actionable information. By avoiding tedious data manipulation, users can focus on implementation and achieve faster cost-savings across the company.

In addition to netCLARUS voice analytics, nTelos wireless is deploying an SMS Data Feed as part of the netCLARUS Traffic Module. SMS use is expanding at a compound growth rate of more than 100% per year, increasing to 1.56 trillion messages at the end of last year. Connectiv Solution’s SMS analytical capability was developed in response to nTelos’s need to gain a better understanding of their SMS traffic patterns. The SMS Data Feed will provide nTelos wireless with valuable insight into SMS traffic patterns, allowing them to turn raw SMS usage data into actionable information. The SMS Data Feed is available to all Connectiv Solutions clients.

Brian Silvestri, president of Connectiv Solutions, said, “netCLARUS is generating a lot of excitement in the telecom industry and we’re thrilled that nTelos wireless is extending their relationship with us by deploying netCLARUS. Our long-standing relationship and mutual understanding of the challenges impacting the wireless industry have resulted in the design of collaborative tools that will provide new opportunities for nTelos.”

“Over the last several years, nTelos wireless has achieved greater expense control using Connectiv Solutions’ network analytic tools,” said Bobby McAvoy, senior vice president of wireless engineering and operations for nTelos wireless. “Connectiv Solutions consistently listens to our needs, providing the right resources to address our specific business challenges.”
