About Blueslice

Founded in 2001, Blueslice Networks builds next generation mobile network equipment for the world's leading telecom service providers. Blueslice's mission is to lead the HLR/HSS market for multi-profile subscriber management.

Blueslice is the first telecom core equipment vendor to realize that subscribers are multi-dimensional. Blueslice provides multi-access telecom players, such as mobile carriers, VoIP service providers, FMC players, MVNOs, and machine-to-machine (M2M) operators, with next gen equipment, giving the capabilities to manage their subscribers’ multiple profiles and deliver a converged service offering.

As an independent company, Blueslice brings a fresh approach to the management of subscriber information for innovative service providers. The success of Blueslice is due to its nimble business practices, the breadth of experience and strength of leadership of the management team and investor group, and a product portfolio that is unmatched on the market. The CEO and investors have created shareholder value of over $1Billion through prior ventures. Based in Montreal, Canada, Blueslice is part of a leading telecom environment and receives further support from the government of Canada. The products are selected and deployed by leading global mobile players, and partnerships are in place with incumbent vendors.

The Growth of Cellular Communications

GSM is the fastest growing communications technology of all time. The billionth GSM user was connected in Q1 2004, 12 years after the launch of the first GSM networks, and the second billionth GSM user was connected in Q2 2006, just two and a half years after the first billion. The GSM user base is set to exceed three billion in 2008.

The Multi-profile Subscriber

With the proliferation of access technologies available, subscribers now have a plethora of communications choices and are accumulating devices upon devices and identities upon identities. At the same time, operators are struggling to manage these multiple access networks and multiple profiles in multiple silos. The market forces creating the "multi-profile subscriber" and challenging operators to converge their networks and consolidate their subscriber information.

Product Portfolio

The Blueslice Converged Subscriber Platform 3000™ is the next generation, integrated platform for multi-profile subscriber management in mobile, VoIP, Fixed Mobile Convergence (FMC), and Machine-to-machine (M2M) networks. At its root, the CSP 3000™ features a Home Location Register that is unmatched in the market for scalability, platform reliability, and enhanced features. An HLR performs the mission-critical functions for subscriber profile management in GSM/GPRS and UMTS networks.

However, the Blueslice CSP 3000™ goes beyond the HLR to include the subscriber management functions for all access technologies to converge subscriber profiles across 2G (GSM, GPRS, EDGE), 3G (UMTS, HSPA, IMS), and VoIP (Wireline, WiFi, WiMAX) domains, with its integrated Home Subscriber Server (HSS), SIP Application Server, and AAA Server. It is the only solution on the market that combines these functions to enable the centralization of cross-domain subscriber information, such as location, network authentication, access preferences, services, identities, presence, etc., into one universal profile in one logical place.

Subscriber-centric Solutions for Operators

Blueslice is leading mobile service providers towards innovation by giving them the tools to consolidate their subscribers’ profiles into one logical box, deliver innovative services, and shift the value chain in their favour. By initiating the convergence process at the subscriber level, an operator can become a converged solution provider instead of just a bill-stapler. This means a consistent user experience across all domains for their customers, greater control over their subscriber base, simplified subscriber profile management, and a platform to deploy FMC-related, revenue-generating services.

The Blueslice Converged Subscriber Platform 3000™, with its unique multi-profile approach, is most aligned with current market dynamics. The market for subscriber management has evolved, and no HLR/HSS vendor has evolved with it like Blueslice has.
