M2M Module Adds Monetization Functionality to Yaana’s NeuString Roaming Analytics Solution.

SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA – February 28, 2022 – Yaana Solutions, a leading provider of intelligent analytics solutions for mobile operators and groups, today announced the release of a new suite of features designed for analytics and monetization of Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications commercial deals for Internet of Things (IoT) within the NeuString Roaming Analytics solution. The NeuString Analytics platform already supports the most advanced commercial modelling within wholesale discount roaming agreements, and the launch of M2M support further extends its capabilities to manage and analyze the full scope of the mobile wholesale business.

Mobile operators globally are finding it challenging to monetize IoT connections because of the limitations imposed by commercial agreements as well as the complexity that surrounds them. This new set of NeuString Analytics platform features provides a fully integrated financial analysis and control of differentiated data pricing adding a range of new commercial modelling specific to the IoT business. This adds M2M commercial deals into NeuString Analytics’ Deal life cycle management, where the initial business case is used and applied for negotiation, contract creation, monitoring, and reporting through to settlement.

The M2M module provides Yaana Solutions’ customers access to an integrated financial optimization and control within the NeuString Roaming Analytics platform, including:

• Identification and segmentation of IoT traffic
  • Provide flexible and configurable data segmentation at general or partner-specific levels
  • Perform retrospective device level analysis of usage patterns
  • Accurately segment based on usage
• New and specific IoT/M2M commercial modelling
  • Differentiated segment-based pricing
  • Per device-based pricing
  • Usage-based pricing
• What-if analysis
  • Simulation of segmented pricing and business case creation
  • Comparative analysis for different pricing scenarios and changing roaming patterns
  • Actionable insights into your M2M commercial deals and identify anomalies with descriptive analytics
• Integration with standard wholesale business
  • Full insight and inclusion into financial tracking, control, and reporting
  • Automatically capture and include M2M pricing within the automatic contract generation
  • Integration of M2M settlements as part of the standard agreement settlement flow.

The characteristics of the IoT business models differ significantly from standard roaming data traffic-based business models. While the concept of the models may be simple, the access to relevant data and the analysis is not. The level of detail that is required to perform the accurate analysis is high, as are the volumes.  NeuString Analytics is designed to manage this complexity and to provide actionable information to commercial managers. IoT is a natural extension of the Yaana NeuString Roaming Analytics platform for a large number of major groups and operators globally using the services actively.

Within weeks of launch, Yaana Solutions has already seen a very high adoption within its client base committing to adding M2M capabilities to their existing NeuString services. “Our customers are seeing tremendous value in the new M2M module by upgrading their existing solution. The biggest driver is to monetize the IoT traffic with the already existing digital workflow,” said Ms. Eva Gildum, Vice President at Yaana Solutions.

SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA – September 12, 2017 – According to the FBI’s National Crime Information Center Missing Person File, juveniles under the age of 18 accounts for 38.3% of missing persons in 2016. The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children® (NCMEC), a nonprofit dedicated to helping find missing children and stop child sexual exploitation, provides on-site assistance to law enforcement agencies and families in cases of missing children through its Team Adam program. Team Adam consultants are retired law enforcement professionals with years of experience at the federal, state, and local levels. Consultants from Team Adam provide on-the-ground technical assistance and connect local law enforcement to a national network of resources.

Yaana Technologies developed MIDAS (Mobile Investigation and Data Acquisition System), a purpose-built technology platform that offers a mobile application with an intelligent command/control system that enables law enforcement field investigators to rapidly investigate missing persons and other crimes. Yaana has in-depth expertise in processing real-time data, large data platform, mobile application, and passion for solving critical issues. The idea was to use smartphones, tablets, and real-time command/control to increase speed and accuracy for field investigators who previously relied on paper/pen while canvassing in response to a child abduction. In searching for missing children, every minute counts. Of the AMBER Alerts issued for abducted children in 2016, 94% of recovered children were found within 72 hours, including 47 percent found within three hours. (http://www.missingkids.com/en_US/documents/2016AMBERAlertReport.pdf)

Yaana Technologies collaborated with NCMEC in developing and implementing a Team Adam MIDAS version to assist with the efforts of Team Adam to support law enforcement. “We at NCMEC appreciate the dedication and passion that Yaana has shown in developing and deploying this application to support our mission of bringing missing children home safely. This mobile app has quickly become a very valuable asset.” Mark D. Gianturco, Vice President Technology Division of CTO Office, NCMEC.

Raj Puri, CEO of Yaana Technologies, explains “MIDAS has been a key project for me personally and we have evolved the core platform by collaborating with the law enforcement community in the US and UK. Yaana is happy to provide this critical service to NCMEC and the law enforcement community to address the crimes against children. Yaana is honored to be selected by NCMEC and in leveraging our expertise to make this world a safer place for our children.”

**UPDATE** – February 2018 –  Mr. Mark Gianturco with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) came by recently to present Yaana with a plaque in recognition of their appreciation for Yaana developing and implementing a version of MIDAS for Team Adam to support law enforcement. This is tangible evidence of Yaana’s efforts and the huge impact the company has made on making the world a safer place. Yaana continues to support NCMEC in maintaining and updating MIDAS for Team Adam so their consultants can continue to rapidly investigate missing persons and other crimes and bring missing children home safely.

Solution combines leading-edge technology and compliance expertise to minimize liabilities while reducing operational costs

SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA – May 9, 2017 – Complying with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act can be resource-intensive and is becoming increasingly expensive for Internet Service Providers as a result of rising copyright violations by their subscribers and consequent notices that are received from content owners and their copyright agents. Today, Yaana Technologies announced its launch of DMCA Infringement Management Solution to help Internet Service Providers efficiently process copyright infringement notices in seconds – reducing operational costs while ensuring compliance. DMCA Infringement Management Solution is available both as a fully managed service and through customer premise implementation.

“Yaana’s DMCA Infringement Management Solution enables Service Providers to safeguard their business from the liabilities associated with subscriber copyright violations,” says Raj Puri, CEO of Yaana Technologies. “Whether replacing an existing inefficient in-house tool or striving to become DMCA compliant for the first time, our comprehensive solution offers best-in-class technology combined with the compliance expertise our customers have come to know and trust.”

The Safe Harbor provisions contained in Section 512 of the DMCA can help shield Internet Service Providers from liability for copyright violations of their subscribers and for the provision of links to copyright-protected material available from other Internet sources. However, these provisions depend on the Internet Service Provider’s policies for notifying their infringing subscribers and escalated action plan dealing with repeat offenders; failing to be proactive against copyright infringement may result in civil litigation and significant fines.

Yaana’s DMCA Infringement Management Service allows Internet Service Providers to outsource the processing of infringement notices to Yaana’s NetDiscovery^® Service, thereby reducing stress on internal resources, that can then be redirected to core business needs and revenue-generating activities. As a Trusted Third Party to Online Service Providers, Yaana will:

• Automatically process large volumes of DMCA notifications and provide customizable escalation workflow to manage repeat infringers.
• Help reduce copyright infringement over your network by tiered notifications and responses.
• Utilize scalable infrastructure to handle rising subscriber copyright violations and retain DHCP logs while ensuring privacy for all sent and received notifications.
• Provide insight from data analytics with real-time visualization, scheduled, and customized reports.

Yaana’s DMCA Infringement Management System provides Internet Service Providers a cost-effective option of deploying the solution in their data center and automates many of the steps required to manage incoming infringement notices. With DMCA Infringement Management System, Online Service Providers can:

• Respond efficiently and securely to infringement notices from content owners and their agents.
• Automatically process large volumes of DMCA notices while managing repeat infringers with escalation workflows and subscriber IP address mapping for manual intervention.
• Maintain compliance with a built-in tiered notification and response system aimed at reducing copyright infringement over your network.
• Customize workflows and rules engine with the configurable role and permission-based visibility to adapt to each Service Provider’s unique requirements.
