Starvision develops Managed Service Systems -- turnkey systems for centralized creation and management of services deployed on broadband networks. The target customers are service providers and large organizations, both which have strong requirements for reliability, scalability, and manageability. Starvision's products reduce the time to market and the operational costs associated with introducing new services through their off-the-shelf nature and centralized management.

Starvision's Managed Service Systems are carrier class, standards-based, and vendor and network protocol independent, and support heterogeneous networks. The Managed Service Systems software architecture is based on TINA (Telecommunications Information Networking Architecture), an advanced architectural standard providing a forward-looking foundation of business and technology models for centralized services.
