The Policy Control manages 5G's key features, enabling monetization, new services like AR/VR, and integration with BSS/OSS for seamless control and innovation.

Amdocs Policy is the “network brain” that manages and controls essential service characteristics (the “who, what, when, where and how”) of the 5G network. It enables service providers to differentiate, and therefore monetize the expanding characteristics of the 5G network and to open new markets. This allows service providers to take center stage in the 5G value chain and monetize emerging 5G network features (especially related to access, latency, speed, coverage, capacity, density, roaming, slice management and combinations) – with granular visibility and control down to individual device and application levels. Such control is critical to the 5G value offering and customer experience.

Amdocs Policy plays a crucial role in rapid launch of new business and consumer services by efficiently handling these new network features and combining them for emerging services that need access to them. A richer set of 5G-driven services such as augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR) and internet of things (IoT) therefore depend on policy control for 5G monetization. Fully backward-compatible with 4G and ready for the future of 6G as it emerges, Amdocs Policy is supported by common and compatible charging microservices (via a fuller Policy and Charging Control − or PCC). It is tightly integrated to the wider Amdocs BSS / OSS and network capabilities and deployable with Dell Infrastructure Blocks – providing validation, automation and integration confidence combined with rapid access to best-in-class policy control.
