TEOCO Launches INrange Location-Based Predictive Analytics Solution

TEOCO (News - Alert), the leading provider of Assurance and Analytics solutions to communications service providers worldwide, today announced the availability of INrange™ Analytics to help mobile service providers increase revenue from Mobile Advertising. INrange leverages TEOCO's recently-announced Location Analytics capabilities and its Customer Analytics big data platform to identify subscriber travel patterns and deliver highly targeted advertising campaigns.

Location has long been viewed as one of the most important determinants of subscriber response to targeted and personalized marketing campaigns. Traditional location-based mobile targeting delivers offers to customers when they are within a set distance from a particular establishment, capitalizing on impulse engagements. INrange Analytics' unique approach predicts where customer are likely to be at any given time, allowing offers to be sent to opted-in customers as they plan their day and before any purchasing decisions have been made.

Mobile advertising revenues are projected to double in each of the coming years, with location ads commanding a premium. Until now, operators only received a small percentage of this revenue, despite possessing a wealth of subscriber data.

"Mobile operators will use INrange to deliver extremely valuable subscriber analytics to advertisers, agecies and brands to enable more successful - and more responsible - mobile advertising campaigns," said John Devolites, TEOCO's VP and General Manager. "Consumers plan between sixty and eighty percent of their purchasing decisions in advance. By focusing on helping customers plan their day, INrange offers a more satisfying user experience. Additionally, INrange provides a multi-level opt-in mechanism directly controlled by the subscriber for more relevant offers, while respecting customer privacy and mobile marketing guidelines. We believe INrange is a game-changing approach for operators to monetize information assets unique to the operator community."

"INrange is an industry-first," said David Corley, TEOCO's VP of Engineering. "The solution covers all devices and subscribers, without requiring specialized hardware or software agents to be installed. Instead, INrange repurposes subscriber data operators already generate and applies a variety of geolocation, temporal and geoclustering algorithms. INrange then computes a predictive score for where a mobile device will be at any given time."

TEOCO will feature INrange Analytics at the Mobile World Congress (News - Alert) conference in Barcelona, Spain during February 25-28, 2013.
