Network independent Value Added Services
iVent has developed a number of unique solutions that are network independent. All of these solutions can be custom adapted or combined to service your unique requirements. A non-exhaustive list of possible modules can be found below.
iVent has developed an unique patented solution that allows for mobile connectivity whereever whenever.
A Multi Network SIM solution that will give you;
• the most cost effective solution based on your location
• Low latencies, always
• higher effective data throughput
Making use of eUICC technolgy iVent deploys embedded SIMs (eUICC) as a new secure element. This allows for the, fully GSMA compliant, remote managment of the connectivity using multiple network operators. MySIM can also be used in the traditional “hard” SIM form factor or with eSIM which allows to keep using existing modems and gateways.
Preferred profiles will be loaded on th SIM, over the air (OTA), whereby existing profile’s can be changed or new profiles can be added. Based on usage patterns the Subscription Manager appoints local IMSI’s and suitable profiles will be pushed to the eUICC SIM.
The best profile based on location will be chosen and a network connection established.
Local connectivity is set up and defined by costs, speed, networkquality or a combination of these features depending on the customer requirements
In more detail our cutting-edge technology allows for several unique features delivering significant benefits, such as:
- Applying Regional and Local Identities (IMSI’s ) to the SIM in real time, ensures:
– Lowest cost at each location anywhere in the world.
– Highest data throughput rates per location.
– Lowest latency per location as traffic is handled directly by the local operator
– Automatic APN selection. (no need to access hardware to make APN changes
– Finding and connecting the right network instantly in mobile environments.
- Direct access to our Operational Charging System (OCS) for real time control of your SIM’s remotely. The OCS control include; activate, de-activate and data usage control of each SIM at each location.
- SIM Profile’s can be changed real time via the OCS using the OTA “Over the Air” feature which allows the customer to change SIM identity per location or for specific applications.
- For service providers it is possible to become a Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) for its customers and users. The OCS and SIM’s can be branded in accordance to the service providers wishes.
MyView enables the high demanding -remote- customer, with the the most efficient IPTV streaming services currently available in the market.
It uses less then 1mbps for full HD video!
Costs of Streaming bandwidth is one of the major obstacles for delivering affordable IPTV or OTT TV services in remote areas or moving assets.
Also, especially on narrow band connections, streaming service can occupy the larger part -or most all- of the available datapipe, thus hampering other applications and requirements.
This applies particularly on wireless or satellite networks and other infrastructure with limited connectivity. Here the traditional IPTV services can consume too much bandwidth and are receptive for (variable) latencies and less stable connections as well. This will severely impact quality of experience by buffering (pausing) and retransmissions of the content.
iVent Mobile understands the end-to-end costs implications for IPTV distribution and the impact latency has on streaming content services. Therefore, we developed a robust patented technology which reduces ther bandwidth requirered and is rather impervious to variable latencies and high RTT (Round Trip Times) at the same time.
Your customers will be able to enjoy high quality TV, movies and live sports roaming on mobile and satellite networks at affordable costs.
Wireless communication is vulnerable to interception and eavesdropping. Any user, transferring personal and confidential information over public networks has to be aware that the data can be monitored and stored by governmental agencies or even malicious and hostile entities. This makes wireless communications unsafe. As a consequence, this can jeopardize your mission, organization or even your personal safety.
Hence iVent Mobile has developed an application to secure all Voice/Messaging and Data traffic.
The application establishes a secured encryption tunnel based on the AES256 encryption. This Advanced Encryption Standard provides the highest possible security and is commonly used by governments to protect classified information.
MyCrypt is an App installed on your smartphone, either Android or iOS. And it works both on Wifi networks as well as on 3G/4G mobile networks, worldwide.
When Mycrypt App-to-App communication is established, all traffic remains END-to-END secure and untraceable.
Routing will take place via a secure tunnel through the iVent Mobile fully secure infrastructure. Alternatively, you can decide to implement your own secure gateway within your own trusted environment. This will allow you to fully safeguard all your communications and monitor data integrity for all your users in house. iVent will provide the gateway hard- and software and can assist you with the installation.
Moreover the Mycrypt App push notifications allows you to message all your users simultaneously or specific users with important announcements like security alerts, schedule updates and instructions.
MyCrypt uses efficient and very high-quality voice codec for clear and natural voice calls. The system has been designed to deal with high latency and jitter such as occurring with satellite connections.
Other unique features are
- End to end encryption in combination with
- Low cost international calling rates;
- Conference calling and file sharing
- Flexible costs models depending on gateway setup via iVent Mobile or on customers own domain
Low cost Wifi calling with your smart phone, everywhere!
MyPhone is an App you can install on your smartphone. The App allows you to place and receive calls and messages using your normal SIM and smartphone, everywhere on the planet where WiFi is available. Anyone with a regular (mobile) phone can call you, even, when you are outside of GSM-coverage. The caller does not require an App or anything else, he or she just makes a regular call to your mobile number.
Though WiFi calling is common typically this can only take place on specific locations or networks condoned by the home operator.
The unique technology as developed by iVent makes any mobile phone subscriber in reach for outbound and inbound calls and messages.
You can use any IOS or Android smartphone, with no SIM changes required. Neither does your mobile subscription need to change. iVent uses end-to-end SIM authentication with the mobile operators to ensure security and user identification. Fully compliant with the mobile roaming standards.
An efficient and at same time very high- quality voice codec is used for clear and natural voice calls. The system has been designed to deal with high latency and jitter such as satellite connections.
Furthermore, iVent Mobile is connected to all major mobile operators to provide worldwide mobile roaming services at low costs for outbound calls. iVent offers flexible billing options, including per location and / or individual users. Both Pre-paid and Post-paid models are available.
In conclusion MyPhone can be used wherever WiFi internet is available.
Extending GSM networks with associated high costs and regulations is no longer applicable.
Another unique feature is dialing with the phone’s Native Dialer and the usage of your address book, allowing for intuitive use of your device.
Also there are further specialty features such as SMS push notifications that allow you to message to all your users simultaneously or to specific users with important announcements like security alerts, schedule updates or e.g. instructions.
