Nokia recently announced its release of some new applications that will help Communication Service Providers (CSPs) gain new revenue and improve end-user experiences. The company’s Corteca Marketplace has the biggest collection of applications for broadband devices immediately available through one platform. Nokia states, “The applications can help CSPs enhance customer experiences, improve the performance of broadband and Wi-Fi services, and generate new revenue streams.”
Among the applications are diagnostics, VPN services, WTFast gaming optimization, ad-blocking security, and much more. As the platform supports prpl LCM and the TR-369 User Services Platform (USP) protocol, it makes managing in-home broadband gateways, Wi-Fi connectivity, and applications easier and gives operators the ability to install, uninstall, or update any of its customers’ applications fast. CSPs can also develop their own applications using Nokia’s Corteca Developer Toolkit on GitHub.
“We decided to work with Nokia to make distribution of our technology for broadband providers much easier. We're excited to offer WTFast in the Corteca platform, not only on new devices, but also devices already in footprint,” said Rob Bartlett, CEO and Founder, WTFast.
“Integrating Optima with the Corteca platform has been a smooth process with tools and support readily available from the Nokia team. The intelligent Corteca architecture has meant that we can deliver all the Optima performance in an efficient containerized platform,” said Luke Barlow, CEO at Netduma.
“Nokia’s Corteca Marketplace provides the most comprehensive suite of broadband device applications available today. Both cloud and device sides are based on standards, creating an open environment that lets operators avoid vendor lock-in.” said Justin Doucette, Head of WiFi, Fixed Networks at Nokia.
