The service works by filtering DNS queries and promises to increase internet security for subscribers and significant tax savings for providers.
During this pandemic, the demand for high-speed internet for studying and working from home is ever increasing. To differentiate themselves from the competition, internet providers are seeking to offer customers new Value-Added Services, or VAS, that are uncomplicated and truly useful.
With this in mind, Lumiun, a Brazilian startup specializing in internet security solutions, is launching its new product, Lumiun ISP . It is a DNS filter in VAS format for internet providers.
Heini Geib, CEO of Lumiun, states: “ Lumiun ISP was created to meet a demand that came from the regional providers themselves, who were looking for a simple and easy-to-use internet access control tool to offer their subscribers.” Lumiun already serves nearly 500 clients nationwide through its Lumiun Box product, which also performs DNS classification and filtering. The new product, Lumiun ISP, incorporates solutions developed and improved over the years in the areas of DNS service filtering and optimization.
How does it work?
Lumiun ISP works by filtering DNS queries originating from the client's network. User browsing requests are routed to a special DNS server deployed in the provider's infrastructure, which performs classification and filtering of accesses.
Lumiun ISP makes internet use safer and more productive for families and businesses. With it, subscribers can activate protection against harmful websites, filters against adult content and pornography, and block social media sites and apps, games, and many others, as desired.
The control panel is simple and intuitive, even for novice users, and works on any browser or mobile phone.
What are the advantages for the internet provider?
Tax optimization is one of the main benefits for internet service providers. "By offering Lumiun ISP as a Value-Added Service to its subscribers, the provider achieves significant tax savings and, consequently, increases profitability," Heini points out.
According to the CEO, by offering a useful and innovative VAS (Value Added Service) to subscribers, the provider differentiates itself from the competition, adding value to the telecommunications service, diversifying the portfolio, and also creating various possibilities for sales or marketing actions to retain and attract new customers.
The solution also promises to significantly reduce harmful traffic, improving network performance and decreasing the number of support calls related to malware, phishing, and other cyberattacks.
Key differences compared to other VAS (Value Added Services)
In addition to all the advantages and benefits that all VAS (Value Added Services) already offer, Lumiun ISP has some unique features compared to other value-added services offered in the market.
The first major differentiator of Lumiun ISP is that the solution is completely white-label, meaning that the entire product, including the control panel, is customized with the provider's logo, colors, images, and information. The subscriber will view the solution as a resource from their own provider.
The second key differentiator is the possibility of integrating the service with the provider's ERP system, without the need for new registrations or information migration. This simplifies the implementation process and reduces friction for subscribers using the solution. Furthermore, unlike other VAS (Value Added Services), Lumiun ISP does not charge setup fees for implementation and configuration.
The third major differentiator is the DNS with very low latency. "We have been working on DNS optimization for many years and guarantee very low latency, providing an excellent internet experience for subscribers," adds Aléx de Oliveira, CTO of Lumiun.
Positive impact
The company's expectation with the Lumiun ISP solution is to bring more security and control over internet use to the largest number of families and businesses, bringing benefits to both users and providers. "Today we have several partner providers using the solution and with very positive feedback. There are several negotiations underway, and providers who wish to can conduct a free trial of the service," stated Heini.
