Customer has over 20% coverage of the cable & satellite households in India. It is currently delivering Cable TV services in 12 major cities of India. In addition, Customer also provides Internet-on-Cable services in 8 of these cities. Customer reaches out to the subscribers spread across the country through its own head ends, distributors and franchisees. The below flow diagram illustrates how MQSubscribe™ is being accessed by two regional offices and 60 Head Ends spread across the country. A total of 50 users access the system at a given point of time to perform the day-to-day transactions.
Customer has two Regional offices and distributes content through Headends who in turn distribute it to the Headend Subscribers. Customer distributes the content of other content providers by bundling them into packages. The Head Ends book the subscribers and place the order for the required packages and hardware. The Head-ends in turn put a request to the respective regional offices that approve the orders and provide the required hardware. Customer has deployed MQSubscribe™ to manage its subscriber billing and inventory. Customer had the following objectives to be achieved by deploying a subscriber management and billing system.

Highlights of MQSubscribe™ ICC/STB Association The pairing process is required to enable the ICC and STB to operate together. Pairing also binds the ICC with STB so that, the ICC can only be used with the STB it has been paired with. Unless pairing data is overwritten on the ICC, the ICC is permanently paired to the STB. In order to pair an STB with ICC serial numbers of card and STB are required. MQSubscribe™ sends a pairing request will be sent to CAS once the association is successfully done. Hardware Replacement Subscribers may return the hardware in case of repair or replacement and will take new hardware. In this case MQSubscribe™ handles the unpairing of ICC and STB and new paring with new/replaced hardware.
