The Service Connectivity Platform for the Modern Enterprise!
PMT’s Obsidian™ is an end-to-end managed solution for exposing and managing API, IoT, and cellular endpoints. Streamline your market entry and unlock new revenue streams with integrated service connectivity.
Obsidian™ Product Overview
Obsidian™ enhances the Mobile Operator Reverse Billed Model with a fully managed connectivity platform. It enables secure, data-free access to digital services through advanced API orchestration and user-connectivity management.
Reversed Billed Data, Simplified
Pattern Matched Technologies™ has pioneered the Reverse Billing of Data URLs since 2012 and, through years of experience working with our customers and the traditional operator model, has identified several crucial shortcomings. By leveraging the Obsidian™ Service Connectivity Platform and creating a Data URL gateway that gives you access to all the critical features required, Obsidian™ puts you in control of your reverse billing requirements.
By implementing Obsidian™ for your application or website, you enable your customers and employees to use the Application or URL free of charge. As the enterprise, you are billed directly and receive preferential rates for the aggregated data usage.
Across All Major Networks
Obsidian™ supports all mobile subscribers – prepaid, top-up and contract. Internet access outside of the Obsidian™ environment is charged at the end user’s prevailing tariff rates.
Zero-Rated Access
Obsidian™ allows end-users to use the Application or URL free of charge. End-users are always able to connect, irrespective of airtime/data balances, and they always have access to the website or app.
Higher Client Uptake
Obsidian™ can be enabled on Apps and websites, promoting increased usage and client uptake. This results in an additional value-added benefit to your company’s websites or applications.
