ItsOn is an American telecommunications company based in Redwood City, California that develops cloud computing software for enhancing the performance of mobile networks. ItsOn’s software platform gives mobile network operators the ability to offer granular and flexible, user-customizable services. Users may select and change mobile voice, text, and data services, as well as manage devices, plan sharing and permissions, directly from smart devices at any time.
ItsOn launched a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) service, Zact Mobile, in 2013. Zact Mobile has received the National Parenting Center’s Seal of Approval for its family-oriented features and pricing.
ItsOn was the first company to develop and commercialize a network function virtualization (NFV) platform that replaces the traditional hardware-based 3GPP policy control plane. ItsOn’s cloud-based software enables mobile operators to create and sell new services and provides users the ability to purchase mobile services in real-time directly from their smart devices.
The ItsOn technology platform overlays existing infrastructure and extends service policy control to the edge of the network. The platform works with existing billing systems and networks. The overlay consists of a service controller, a service design center, and device clients.
ItsOn’s services enable mobile operators to respond to mobile users’ changing needs. Rather than choose from a limited selection of predefined plans, mobile users can buy exact amounts of each type of service desired. Data may be purchased by quantity (for all uses) or for specific applications (such as Facebook). Service plans may be shared between devices and family members as determined by the account owner. Service plans may be changed as devices and user habits change. Child curfews may be defined and applied to both mobile and Wi-Fi networks. Users are notified as they approach current usage limits.
ItsOn’s services allow operators to introduce self-service capabilities that reduce the need for expensive and time-consuming telephone and in-store support. Users may add devices to their plans, monitor and purchase desired types and quantities of service, and control the use of specific applications via the ItsOn client application.
