Smart City Billing Solutions

The Smart City initiatives foresee the benefits and efficiencies having a continuous connectivity across all residents needing access to online services that are provided by the municipality from households via conjunction with the City Hall departments, schools, infirmaries and more.

High Speed Internet Access to Any Resident

The Smart City infrastructure investment of high speed internet access to any stakeholder requires a clear plan of the various entities that would be involved in such initiative: Municipality Owned Entities (MOE), private contractors or a BOT. The leap forward to a Smart City requires the capability to manage and charge those who utilize the Smart City infrastructure internet connectivity consisting of local households (residents), municipality units, government departments, schools, healthcare providers, transportation including street lights and more.

From monetization perspective, flexible charging schemes are required in order to bring the Smart City connectivity at a fair price to each stakeholder. For example: introducing various subscription packages that differs in the speed, capacity, price and market segment such as subsidized packages for specific neighborhood or subscribers. The monetization platform is also required to manage multiple types of charging models like split billing, subscription, usage based billing and cost allocation (similar to wholesale reconciliation) with various entities: government agencies, municipality departments and residential households.
