Unlock telecom VAS savings with a single license for multiple services

With rapid 5G adoption, IoT expansion, and relentless competition, telecom operators face mounting pressure to balance cost efficiency with agile service delivery. The proliferation of value-added services (VAS) - from messaging platforms and content streaming to mobile payments and AI-driven customer engagement - has created a labyrinth of licensing agreements. Each service often demands separate compliance protocols, fee structures, and administrative oversight, leading to fragmented operations, inflated overheads, and heightened regulatory risks. These complexities divert critical resources away from innovation, leaving operators scrambling to keep pace with evolving customer expectations and digital transformation goals.  

Beyond cost savings, a single-license model future-proofs operations by simplifying scalability. Whether deploying hybrid cloud solutions or navigating regional regulatory shifts, operators gain the flexibility to adapt without renegotiating countless contracts. In a sector where agility dictates survival, this approach isn’t just strategic – it catalyzes the future of telecoms.

The universal license advantage

Imagine consolidating all your VAS requirements under one umbrella. By adopting a universal license that spans diverse VAS offerings, telecom providers can eliminate redundant processes, slash capital and operational expenditures (Capex/Opex), and centralize compliance management. This shift not only reduces administrative burdens by up to 40% but also accelerates time-to-market for new services, enabling operators to swiftly capitalize on emerging trends like metaverse integrations or personalized OTT content. Freed from legacy inefficiencies, teams can redirect savings toward R&D, network upgrades, and customer experience enhancements — key differentiators in a saturated market.  

• Cost efficiency: Eliminate multiple renewals and streamline budgeting by consolidating fees.

• Rapid innovation: Accelerate service deployment without being restricted by complex contractual arrangements.

• Simplified management: Manage your entire suite of services from a single, integrated platform.

Breaking the cost cycle with TCO-optimized universal licensing

Going beyond upfront capital expenditure (Capex), TCO encompasses ongoing operational costs (Opex), maintenance, regulatory compliance, and scalability investments. A high TCO limits innovation slows digital transformation, and strains financial resources, preventing telecoms from staying competitive.

Optimizing TCO with Wavenet’s universal licensing model by:

• Consolidating licensing agreements into a single framework

• Maximizing license utilization through dynamic allocation across services

• Eliminating redundant fees associated with multiple standalone licenses

• Accelerating service rollouts without costly contractual renegotiations

• Enhancing scalability with cloud-native automation
