Based on standards such as Telecom Web Services, SIP and OSA/Parlay, Aepona's Universal Service Platform (USP) allows service creation and implementation to be carried out within the Service Network, independent from underlying network resources.

The Universal Service Platform allows operators to realize the vision of a converged, horizontal service-oriented network architecture.

Key Features:

• Telecom Web Services - Secure exposure of telecom network resources, such as call control, location, charging and messaging, towards Enterprises and 3rd-party application developers.
• 3rd Party Management for automated partner sign-on and policy control. Telecoms-Grade Application Server, providing a high-throughput service execution environment for real-time telecommunications services.
• Applications - A suite of ready-to-deploy, profitable applications that can either be network-resident, or externally hosted and accessed via a secure IP connection.
• Network Abstraction - Parlay APIs providing application developers a powerful interface to exploit the underlying network capabilities, while at the same time ensuring that the core network is protected.
• Service Interaction - Service interaction between pre- and post-paid platforms, fixed and mobile networks, home and roaming users, and legacy and next-generation networks.
• Network Evolution to IP and IMS - Enabling service continuity between current and next-generation networks.
