More About Openet

Openet provides software platforms that enable communications service providers to rate, charge, and control usage for mobile and fixed services in real time. Its systems are typically deployed in the core of a telecom operator’s business support systems (BSS) and operational support systems (OSS) stacks, supporting consumer, enterprise, and wholesale offerings. The company focuses on monetization, policy enforcement, and data intelligence functions that allow operators to package and charge for data, voice, messaging, content, and emerging digital services on modern network architectures.

In enterprise environments, Openet’s solutions are positioned as carrier-grade platforms that integrate with existing CRM, billing, mediation, and customer care systems. Real-time charging and policy engines expose application programming interfaces (APIs) that allow operators and partners to define tariffs, Quality of Service (QoS) rules, and service bundles. These platforms are typically aligned with standardized telecom architectures such as 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Online Charging System (OCS), Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF), and, in 5G, Policy Control Function (PCF) and Charging Function (CHF). Support for service-based architectures, network function virtualization (NFV), and cloud-native deployment models enables use in private data centers and public cloud environments.

Openet’s policy and control capabilities help operators manage bandwidth, prioritize traffic, enforce fair usage policies, and implement tiered or application-specific charging models. This can include zero-rating, time-based passes, roaming controls, shared data plans, and enterprise Service Level Agreements (SLAs). The data management and analytics components aggregate subscriber and usage data from multiple network and IT sources, providing a foundation for revenue assurance, customer experience management, and product design. These components often integrate with external analytics stacks and data warehouses via standardized interfaces.

From a marketplace taxonomy perspective, Openet aligns with telecom BSS/OSS, real-time charging and monetization (billing/monetization), network policy and control (network policy/control), and telecom data management and analytics (data management/analytics). Its offerings are used by Mobile Network Operators (MNOs), converged service providers, and digital service providers that require real-time control and charging over IP-based services. The company’s role within operator architectures is typically as a core transactional and decision engine that supports service creation, dynamic pricing, and usage governance across 4G and 5G networks.
