The IP Service Control System

The IP Service Control System from Ellacoya Networks gives broadband operators unprecedented visibility into and control over their networks and services. The Ellacoya system is the only solution in the marketplace to provide a complete picture of subscriber and application network usage trends and the ability to better manage network capacity based on those trends. Ellacoya's IP Service Control System measures traffic by application, activity, and subscriber, and then gives operators the tools to analyse the resulting data through the system's powerful web-based reporting environment. They can then take action to maximize network efficiency with the Ellacoya system by setting policies that prioritise applications during peak and non-peak times, secure the network, and control bandwidth costs. The system also provides a platform for introducing targeted service plans and packages for new offerings such as VoIP, on-line gaming, and movie downloads, so that providers can take advantage of new revenue opportunities.
