Telna Transforms: Cronus Becomes Connect with Powerful New Features!

We’re excited to introduce Connect—the evolution of Cronus into a more agile and scalable platform for MNOs and connectivity providers. Along with this transformation, we’re launching two powerful new features:

 

🚀 Captive Portal – Keep essential services accessible even when a SIM runs out of balance.

📱 App-Specific Packages – Enable connectivity for selected apps only, unlocking new monetization opportunities.

 

Based on direct feedback from our partners and industry trends, we’re launching two new capabilities that improve connectivity flexibility and create new revenue opportunities.

Captive Portal allows operators to whitelist specific IPs so that even when a SIM has no active data package, users can still:

 

✅ Access payment gateways to top up their balance
✅ Reach support pages or chatbots for assistance
✅ Use essential services like banking, emergency contacts, or authentication portals

 

This feature helps operators reduce customer churn, improve user experience, and ensure seamless service continuity.

App-specific packages allow users to subscribe to a plan that grants access only to selected apps while blocking all other internet traffic.

 

For example, a WhatsApp-Only Package lets users:

✅Send messages and make calls via WhatsApp

✅Prevent unintended data usage on other apps or websites

✅Enjoy an affordable, controlled connectivity option

 

An ideal solution for:

✔️ MNOs & MVNOs introducing app-based data plans
✔️ Enterprises & IoT providers needing controlled data access
✔️ Travel SIM providers offering region-specific app connectivity

 

By tailoring data accessibility per application, operators can unlock new revenue streams, improve customer engagement, and enhance network efficiency.

 

With Connect, we’re building a smarter, more flexible platform that enables MNOs and CSPs to scale operations, optimize network management, and create new business models. These new features are just the beginning—more innovations are coming.
