USSDx TM S M A RT USSD USSDxTM USSDxTM makes it possible for your high value customers to access existing USSD services with their Smart devices over IP including Tablets (Android, WP7/8 & iPads), Smart Phones, Nokia S40 and PCs. It is a powerful solution that uses and extends the lifespan of existing USSD infrastructure as Mobile Network Operators (MNO) deploy 3G, IMS and LTE Networks - where traditional USSD is either not supported on the network or IP-only devices do not support USSD natively. Expose ALL your existing USSD services over IP to your subscriber through your own custom built app or simply use Balefyre’s own generic emDial TM app. USSDxTM also introduces OneTouchUSSD TM or Smart USSD menus which significantly enhance the user experience by eliminating the need to memorize complicated service codes e.g. *123*4567*891011# • Tablet recharge and balance enquiries • USSD over LTE • No more *’s and #’s • MobileMoney transfers from contact book How It Works USSDxTM Server – Balefyre’s USSDxTM Server receives USSD requests over IP and converts them for handling by an MNO’s existing USSD gateway. USSDxTM acts an adapter with IP on one side and SS7 or Sigtran on the other. Services that already exist on the USSD gateway are seamlessly exposed via your chosen smart app (see below). Connect to USSDxTM via: 1.Your own mobile app, or 2.emDial TM – Balefyre’s generic mobile app USSD requests are sent over IP to the USSDxTM server for conversion and passed on to any existing USSD gateway regardless of whether the USSDxTM functionality is incorporated into the MNO’s own app or if the MNO simply chooses to brand Balefyre’s existing emDial TM app. With the introduction of OneTouchUSSD TM , Smart device users are able to interface with traditional USSD applications in an app-like manner. USSDxTM client libraries and emDial TM are available for iOS (iPad), Android (Tablet and Phone), WP 7&8 and Nokia S40. BFDS-20136311/R2 - USSDx TM Expose ALL USSD services over IP Features and Benefits Recharge Your Tablet The absence of dialers on tablets has complicated the purchase of data. High Value Customers used to accessing recharge and balance enquiry services via their phones require a similar, if not better, experience on these high end devices. With USSDxTM tablet users can now use traditional pinbased voucher redemption methods to recharge their tablets in an app-like manner. Expose All USSD Services Access all other self-care USSD applications (including balance enquiry) with our OneTouchUSSD TM interface. USSD Over LTE LTE does not support USSD in it’s current form and will require MNOs to adapt their self-care service interface for customers to suit the constraints of the new network. USSDxTM provides an interface for USSD requests to pass from IP based networks (3G, IMS and LTE) to existing USSD servers that still reside on the traditional telephony network. This allows MNOs to extend the lifespan of their existing USSD infrastructure while seamlessly migrating into LTE. USSDxTM not only provides support for handheld devices but also for Modems and Dongles over LTE. . USSD Over IP No More * ’s and #’s Balefyre’s OneTouchUSSD TM smart interface allows MNOs to map menus on screens to existing USSD applications without the need for the user to remember complicated service codes or follow the cumbersome “reply/Send” experience of traditional USSD. The user experience is further enhanced by the ability of MNOs to brand the client. Loyalty and Reward programmes are now only a single touch away. Service discovery is made simpler. Yet, none of the back-office services need to be recreated or duplicated. Mobile Money Transfers The USSDxTM client libraries and emDial TM incorporates the ability to link your existing USSD-based Mobile Money Transfer Service to the device’s native contact book i.e. Send mobile money directly from the Contact Book. Subscribers will no longer be required to remember the contact number of the potential recipient, which in turn diminishes the opportunity for human input errors and reduces the need to reverse transactions made in error. Promote Data Bundles Via Banners emDial TM provides MNOs the opportunity to utilise the header and footer space of the User Interface to stream both rich text and plain text banners to promote data bundles, specials and other promotional information to the user.
