Communications service providers (CSPs) have long sought ways to communicate directly with subscribers without negatively impacting their online experience. Sandvine OutReach provides operators with a powerful set of subscriber-friendly, device-agnostic tools to interact with subscribers to satisfy a range of use cases, including: Usage Information: Keep subscribers informed about remaining or consumed quota or time in order to help avoid bill shock Promotions: Offer new products or short-term promotions to subscribers Brand Awareness: Make subscribers aware of the network provider for Wi-Fi hotspots and sponsored connectivity Alerts: Contact subscribers infected with malicious software Compliance: Address regulatory notification requirements (e.g., extreme weather alerts, amber alerts, etc.) Sandvine OutReach is fully integrated with Sandvine's Traffic Management, Usage Management, and Network Security products allowing alerts to be defined in SandScript, Sandvine's event-driven policy definition language, and then triggered in real-time. Unlike competing solutions that can only redirect users to a captive portal, Sandvine OutReach enables operators to interact directly with their subscribers through unobtrusive in-browser notifications or by triggering one-way notifications via SMS, USSD, or email. This interaction is achieved without inspecting or modifying the original content requested by subscribers. "Operators need to effectively communicate with subscribers regardless of the device and application they are using. Sandvine OutReach provides operators with the ability to connect with subscribers on any device that has a web browser or that can receive a text message, and does so in a way that does not interfere with their current activities." said Tom Donnelly, co-founder and COO, Sales and Global Services.
