Centina Systems’ Catalyst received the “Outstanding Performance in the Catalyst Program” award from TM Forum this past week. The catalyst project is championed by Vodafone and includes solutions from Centina Systems, Huawei, Infosys, and InverCloud.

Centina’s contribution to the Catalyst spotlights how operators can create new revenue streams by leveraging platform-based models to deliver IoT-based services.

The Catalyst project – called “A Platform for IoT and Anything as a Service” – won the highest honor at the industry event. The Catalyst team, championed by service provider Vodafone, takes home the “Outstanding Performance in the Catalyst Program” award for spotlighting how operators can create new revenue streams by leveraging platform-based models to deliver IoT-based services.

Centina’s vSure™ solution played an important role in the Catalyst by offering the analytics needed to assure telco infrastructure and services in the complex new IoT environment. vSure’s unique network management capabilities support operators in transition; before SDN/NFV/IoT investments, in a hybrid model, and in a fully virtualized and IoT enabled network environment.

The award winner was chosen based on the Catalyst’s ability to address a real-world challenge in today’s industry, through improving customer experience and back-end performance, as well as demonstrating market readiness and enabling operators to create new revenue streams.
