Leveraging Deepsight DPI Technology for New Revenue Streams in Telco-Verified ID Implementation

Abstract

The commoditization of traditional telecommunication services has created significant challenges for telco operators, necessitating the exploration of innovative ways to generate revenue. This shift requires digital solutions that go beyond conventional business models. In a move towards a privacy-centric internet, telco-verified IDs present telcos with an opportunity to address shrinking margins, the decline of third-party cookies, and growing consumer demands for enhanced privacy and security. WayResearch’s Deepsight Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) technology offers a strategic advantage by enabling secure, efficient, and scalable implementation of telco-verified IDs. This paper explores how Deepsight DPI empowers telcos to enhance their networks, integrate into privacy-focused ecosystems, and unlock new revenue streams aligned with current consumer and industry expectations.

Introduction

Telecommunication companies face increasing pressures from stiff competition and shrinking financial margins. With services like voice and data becoming commodities, consistent revenue growth from traditional offerings is increasingly difficult. Factors such as declining tariffs, commoditized markets, and high costs for network infrastructure further exacerbate these challenges. To stay competitive, telcos are turning to digital innovation to create data-driven revenue streams that leverage their extensive network infrastructure. Telco-verified IDs have emerged as a compelling solution within this context. These IDs serve as a privacy-focused alternative to existing methods of identity verification and audience targeting in the digital advertising sector. By capitalizing on assets such as network intelligence and first-party data, telcos can create services that meet the rising demand for secure, privacy-preserving identification while delivering personalized user experiences. Increased consumer awareness of privacy issues, combined with regulatory changes like GDPR and the decline of third-party cookies, highlights the importance of such solutions. However, successfully implementing telco-verified IDs requires advanced technologies capable of securely managing high volumes of network traffic while adhering to strict privacy standards. WayResearch’s Deepsight DPI technology addresses these challenges by providing cutting-edge network transparency and packet inspection capabilities. This paper examines how Deepsight DPI enables accurate traffic analysis, enhances scalability, ensures compliance, and unlocks significant revenue opportunities within digital ecosystems.

Telco-Verified IDs: A Business Opportunity

The digital advertising industry is undergoing rapid transformation, reshaped by changing consumer behavior and technological advancements. The phaseout of third-party cookies by browsers like Google Chrome, Safari, and Microsoft Edge has disrupted traditional methods of audience identification and tracking. Advertisers and publishers now face challenges in targeting, identifying, and measuring audiences effectively. Simultaneously, users have grown increasingly concerned about their privacy, with 86% of consumers expressing unease about how their personal data is used. These trends highlight a growing demand for privacy-compliant methods of delivering personalization and convenience online. This creates an opportunity for telcos to fill the gap with telco-verified IDs. These solutions function as secure, privacy-conscious replacements for conventional tracking systems, allowing businesses to authenticate and pseudonymize data at the network level. By leveraging their existing infrastructure and data, telcos can offer sustainable, compliant ways to identify, verify, and target audiences without compromising anonymity. This satisfies both operational needs and stringent privacy requirements, making telco-verified IDs particularly appealing to advertisers and publishers. Beyond external partnerships, telco-verified IDs can enhance telco operations themselves. By enabling greater visibility into anonymized user behaviors and preferences, telcos can deliver personalized promotions, implement relevant loyalty programs, and reduce customer churn. These actionable insights create dual benefits: strengthening the telcos’ customer base while establishing a new revenue channel by collaborating with advertisers and digital ecosystem players.

The Role of Deepsight DPI in Telco-Verified ID Implementation

Advanced network technology is essential for implementing telco-verified ID solutions effectively. A solution like Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) technology provides the ability to inspect, classify, and manage data packets traveling through a network, enabling detailed visibility into traffic flows. WayResearch’s Deepsight DPI goes further by seamlessly integrating with telco infrastructure, delivering enhanced privacy, transparency, scalability, and performance.

1. Accurate Traffic Analysis Real-time monitoring and traffic analysis are critical to the success of telco-verified IDs. Deepsight DPI allows telcos to analyze and classify data at a granular level, helping to identify pseudonymized traffic flows accurately. This enables trusted audience verification without compromising user consent or privacy. Its packet-level inspection capabilities ensure compliance with privacy standards while meeting advertiser expectations for precision.

2. Scalability and Real-Time Consent Management Deploying telco-verified ID systems across large-scale networks requires real-time data traffic management. Deepsight DPI is built for scalability, optimizing network flows to enable dynamic, consent-driven authentication services. Telcos can generate actionable audience insights without exposing personally identifiable information (PII), ensuring privacy compliance even at scale.

3. Optimized Network Performance The introduction of services like telco-verified IDs demands robust and efficient networks. Deepsight DPI enhances network performance by intelligently prioritizing traffic, ensuring minimal disruption during the deployment of new services. High performance is crucial for maintaining customer trust and fostering strong relationships with advertisers and developers who rely on telco services.

4. Compliance with Privacy Regulations Data compliance remains a significant challenge when implementing identification solutions. Deepsight DPI integrates privacy-preserving mechanisms into its framework, ensuring alignment with global regulations like GDPR. By embedding privacy features directly into data inspection workflows, it allows telcos to deploy compliant solutions while earning consumer trust.

Strategic Advantages of Deepsight DPI in Telco Business Models

Adopting Deepsight DPI provides telcos with a competitive edge in digital ecosystems, enabling them to expand their role beyond their traditional service offerings and position themselves for long-term growth.
