ENTITLEMENTS AS A SERVICE

Entitlement-Server-as-a-Service that arrives in time.

The real-time GSMA TS.43 entitlement decision layer for mobile operators — behind Wi-Fi Calling, VoLTE, eSIM and multi-device, delivered as a managed service. Every capability exists to remove a specific cost or a specific failure from your operation.

DEFINITION

What is Entitlement-Server-as-a-Service?

Entitlement-Server-as-a-Service is a managed platform that makes real-time entitlement decisions for your subscribers. It determines whether a given subscriber, on a given device, in a given market, can use services like Wi-Fi Calling, VoLTE, or eSIM.

The platform handles the GSMA TS.43 protocol layer without replacing your existing BSS or systems.

CORE PLATFORM

Simplified capabilities, structural security.

Answers that arrive in time

The decision layer every service depends on — and that holds up when your upstream systems do not.

Cache-first decision engine

Policy as versioned configuration

Multi-source truth resolution

Fail-safe policy per service class

The device side, absorbed

The part that changes constantly across handsets and specifications — and the reason operators stop wanting to own it.

TS.43 device edge

Activation orchestration

Network & fallback authentication

eSIM ordering & transfer

Your systems keep their interfaces

No BSS replacement. No data migration. No new system of record.

Six defined southbound ports

Anti-corruption adapter layer

Resilience in every adapter

Operator secure edge

Built for the security review

The capabilities procurement and your CISO ask about first — answered structurally, not by assertion.

Four isolation tiers

Residency by construction

Immutable decision audit

Per-tenant observability

WHAT IT MEANS FOR YOUR TEAM

The benefit, by who feels it

Network & technology

Standards conformance and availability engineering maintained continuously, with fail-safe behaviour chosen deliberately on the emergency path.

Device management

OEM certification absorbed. New handset families validated before your subscribers meet them — without a lab on your balance sheet.

Consumer products

New services launch without a platform programme behind them. Attach rate and switch conversion become things you can move.

BSS & IT

Six defined integration points. Your systems keep their interfaces, and no subscriber data migrates anywhere.

Security & compliance

Isolation tier of your choosing, residency enforced by construction, credentials held in your environment, every decision auditable.

Customer care

Any entitlement answer explainable per subscriber, per device, with the reason recorded. Escalations to network engineering drop.

WHY US

Structural answers, not assertions

The claims that matter to an operator are the ones built into the architecture — where the alternative is a promise in a contract.

Safety

Fail-safe on the emergency path

Security

Credentials never leave your estate

Autonomy

Policy you version yourself

Low risk

No BSS replacement

Cost

Metering you can audit

Opex

The device side, off your books

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Expand All Collapse All

How can telcos monetise authentication APIs?

Telcos can monetise authentication by exposing network-based identity APIs to enterprises, generating revenue from user verification instead of relying on declining SMS OTP traffic. This creates a new high-margin API revenue stream.

What is TS.43 authentication and why does it matter for operators?

TS.43 is a GSMA standard that enables SIM-based authentication using EAP-AKA across mobile and Wi-Fi networks. It allows operators to act as trusted identity providers instead of relying on third-party authentication methods.

How does silent authentication help telcos reclaim authentication from OTT players?

Silent authentication shifts identity verification from apps and SMS OTP back into the mobile network. This allows telcos to control authentication flows and capture value from every login and transaction.

What is Number Verify 2 (NV2) and how is it used by telcos?

Number Verify 2 is a GSMA Open Gateway API that confirms a phone number matches the active SIM card. Telcos can offer NV2 as a standardised API for real-time identity verification.

How does network-based authentication compare to SMS OTP?

Network-based authentication is faster, more secure, and does not require user input. Unlike SMS OTP, it is resistant to SIM swap fraud, phishing, and delivery failures.

Can telco authentication work across 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G networks?

Yes, network-based authentication can work across all generations of mobile networks using a combination of TS.43, USSD fallback, and operator integrations.

How does authentication API revenue compare to SMS OTP revenue?

Authentication APIs provide scalable, usage-based revenue with higher margins, while SMS OTP revenues are declining due to fraud, regulation, and user friction.

What role do telcos play in digital identity and GSMA Open Gateway?

Telcos are positioned to become global identity providers through GSMA Open Gateway APIs like Number Verify. They can offer secure, interoperable identity services to enterprises worldwide.
