kölbi 5G on MOCN Architecture
Project Year: 2025 Institutions Involved: Costa Rican Electricity Institute (ICE)
The Challenge:
To jointly implement with the client a strategy to lead the next-generation mobile services offering by launching its “kölbi” 5G plan portfolio under a Multi-Operator Core Network (MOCN) model, using a new network access.
The critical challenge was to implement a hybrid real-time monetization logic that enables unlimited browsing exclusively under 5G, while maintaining existing browsing conditions on the operator’s own 4G/LTE network— all consolidated into a single bill and fully transparent to the subscriber.
Our solution:
A comprehensive solution was designed and implemented the first commercial 5G offer using Pricing Design Center, enabling client to work together on a comprehensive solution that allows real-time differentiation of traffic based on the access network, without impacting the customer experience or ICE’s financial processes.
The solution was based on advanced configuration of business rules, products, and balances, enabling:
• Real-time differentiated rating based on traffic origin (5G vs. ICE 4G/LTE).
• Coexistence of unlimited and metered models within a single tariff plan.
• Simultaneous management of balances, quotas, application benefits, and rating policies.
Configuration of the commercial offering in Oracle Siebel CRM.
Results:
• Strategic Commercial Enablement of 5G under MOCN: The implemented solution enabled the client to successfully and securely launch commercial 5G plans over the shared access network (MOCN), consolidating a robust architecture that ensures operational consistency, accurate rating, and customer experience aligned with the highest industry standards.
• Unlimited 5G Data Offering with Seamless 4G Coexistence: A solution was designed and implemented to enable unlimited 5G data plans while ensuring seamless and efficient coexistence with the 4G network. This capability strengthens the value proposition for end customers, maximizing network utilization without compromising control, monetization, or business sustainability.
• Decisive Acceleration of 5G Time-to-Market: The implemented solution significantly reduced the time-to-market of the 5G offering, allowing kölbi to rapidly position itself as a competitive and innovative brand. The achieved agility enables rapid iterations of the commercial offering, market adaptation, and a clear competitive advantage.
