Policy and Access Control

Make the most of your network resources

Today, mobile network operators are rapidly evolving their core networks towards an all-IP infrastructure for both voice and data services. In addition, all internal and external communications between 3GPP elements will soon be based on IPv6. But also devices evolve and they require new architectures.

This market is often hard to predict, and some vendors’ decisions significantly impact operators’ evolutionary progress and speed. Just imagine device manufacturers adding VoLTE capability to the next version of their popular product, the push to provide SIP functions and the corresponding PCRF interfaces could pose a real challenge.

These exciting new developments influence the control plane, requiring authentication and policy control elements that are reliable and robust, as well as flexible and lean.

Session Manager

is the end-to-end solution for network authentication, authorization and accounting across all network access technologies. It has powerful features to ensure that your subscribers receive flawless and differentiating service access and quality.

Policy Manager

is the solution to dynamically manage your network resources in order to avoid network congestion. It reduces churn by enabling new pricing models and allowing you to offer customized subscription plans that exactly meet the demands of your target groups.

WiFi Calling

fills the gaps left by poor coverage or conges­tion in LTE or 3G networks. Adding Wi-Fi is a unique chance to give your cus­tomers ubiquitous access to IMS, voice, and future services provided by mobile devices.

WiFi Offload

is the proven and powerful solution to significantly enhance the capacity of your mobile network by integrating WiFi into 2G, 3G, and LTE environments.

Data management in the cloud

Always connected, always online, always available

Because the Internet is part of our daily life and mobile Internet devices are used more widely than ever, operators are facing a new challenge: Data sessions must remain active. Video streaming and audio/video calls via data connection at high quality are basic expectations of all users – and operators need to ensure this service continuity.

The goal is to provide 100 percent availability, but how can operators achieve this? HW and SW failures are inevitable. Regular, static backups might help in restoring the network elements but cannot ensure session continuity. Legacy systems with a stateful front-end concept based on bare metal solutions can’t keep up with current expectations.

The cloud challenges the telco world to upgrade its architecture – into a lean, stateless solution with the ability to adapt to rapidly changing environments.

Standard Common Repository

is a telco-grade, in-memory database for all data, giving network operators a much faster solution for standardizing data management in modern network elements. It can be expanded to virtually any required size under load and stores data redundantly in a highly distributed memory system.

PSA Lite - Provisioning and Mediation

is a lightweight provisioning and service activation solution with famous capabilities on provisioning interface mediation and emulation allowing exchange of network elements of different vendors easily without affecting the Business Support System layer.

Atos HSS (Home Subscriber Server)

is a lightweight stateless frontend solution that supports both EPC and IMS systems and complies with the relevant 3GPP standards. The HSS-FE uses Standard Common Repository as backend for subscriber and session data. It supports subscriber data for 4G (LTE), IMS, SMS, 2G/3G, Wi-Fi and other non-3GPP and IoT use cases. Additionally, it also provides support for non-subscriber related data including definitions of APN configurations, QoS profiles for default bearers, Application Servers and authorizations.
