“provisioning” and “outsourcing.” OCS can perform numerous billing functions. It can
bill a subscriber’s credit card periodically (such as, monthly fixed service charges from
an apartment dweller) or as services are delivered (such as a daily charge in a hotel room
once a guest requests Internet service). OCS can handle billing through a credit card
service bureau, or it can send its billing information to an SMS2000 connected via a
serial interface to a hotel Property Management System (PMS).
The OCS software performs various functions:
• Authenticates and authorizes individual users.
• Manages specific policies for users and properties.
• Handles self-subscription, allowing users to choose their own service levels.
• Handles credit card billing.
• Stores accounting information.
• Delivers Web content.
• Sends billing information to a hotel PMS connected to an SMS2000.
• Offers subscribers multiple service levels as configured by the service provider.
• Provides service offerings that are configurable by properties, room types, and
rooms.
• Is completely service provider customizable and brandable.
The SMS2000 and OCS do not have to be connected to the same network. They can
communicate with each other over the Internet.
