DISH is building the nation’s first Open RAN-compliant 5G network. As the company rolls out commercial operations, converged charging will play a crucial role in how it packages and monetizes new services.
“MATRIXX’s solution will help unlock the intrinsic value of our 5G network by scaling on demand and enabling dynamic pricing for network slices and other services,” said Atilla Tinic, Chief Information Officer, DISH. “We are proud to have a partner with the proven ability to deliver a modern CCS solution for 5G that will give us the commercial and operational agility to constantly iterate our offerings and grow our wireless business.”
MATRIXX’s API-first architecture is proven to deploy quickly and cost-effectively. Combined with DISH’s AI strategy, it will determine network availability and utilization, dynamically changing prices throughout the day. MATRIXX’s cloud native, continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipeline then automates pricing updates. The software’s functionality offers seamless interoperability with DISH’s network functions, allowing it to work in a multi-vendor ecosystem.
“DISH is poised to change the Telco landscape in the U.S. for the better, and we are thrilled to be partnering with them on their journey.
