PortaOne And PROTEI Expand Joint Intelligent Network Offering To Include HLR/HSS And PCRF SupportVANCOUVER, British Columbia and ST. PETERSBURG, Russia, Nov. 16, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Global communications software company PortaOne, Inc. and PROTEI, a leading Russian infrastructure vendor, today announced completion of interoperability testing between PortaOne's PortaBilling Business Support System (BSS) and PROTEI's Home Location Register HLR/HSS and Policy Controller PCRF products. As an expansion of the two companies' existing technology partnership, this new compatibility gives Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNO) a complete, end-to-end solution for managing subscribers and associated services independently of host network operators, and even for launching their own mobile networks. Last year, PROTEI and PortaOne announced interoperability of the PortaBilling BSS with PROTEI's CAMEL Gateway and DPI Platform. The addition of PROTEI's HLR/HSS (Home Location Register and Home Subscriber Server) and PCRF (Policy and Charging Rules Function) platforms provides additional support for critical subscriber information, along with enforcement of the operator's business policies for wireless broadband usage. "Today's announcement gives MVNOs and MVNEs an even more robust infrastructure solution for intelligent network services," said Vladimir Freinkman, PROTEI Vice President of Marketing and Business Development. "As markets change and service possibilities evolve, providers need the ability to implement products and services that match both internal and competitive requirements. The addition of Home Location Register and Policy Controller to the PortaOne/PROTEI technology mix makes this kind of flexibility possible." "From the outset, it has been evident that the technologies from PortaOne and PROTEI are complementary. It has been our goal to extend the interoperability of our products as far as possible to benefit our mobile network customers," noted Roman Khalenkov, PortaOne Sales and Marketing Director. "Now, through tested compatibility with Home Location Register and Policy Controller, PortaBilling's billing, rating and provisioning capabilities provide an even greater level of value." PortaBilling, a flagship product from PortaOne, is a multi-functional and convergent system that provides real-time billing, provisioning, andcustomer management to all types of prepaid, postpaid, wholesale and retail telecom services. As a provisioning system, PortaBilling synchronizes SIM card inventory and subscriber information with Home Location Register, as well as policy and service quality parameters with Policy Controller, to ensure instantaneous service activation, efficient network usage, and correct charging. HLR/HSS is key element of any mobile operator, either traditional or virtual. PROTEI HLR/HSS/AUC is a cost-effective, high performance and scalable solution to suit both new and existing mobile operators, mobile virtual network operators (MVNO) supporting GSM/UMTS/LTE standards, IMS services and reliable authentication algorithms. Policy Controller is an intellectual node that regulates policy and charging parameters of subscribers in both 3G / 4G and LTE networks. Equipped with a flexible and easy-to-manage policy decision engine, PROTEI's Policy Controller implements the mobile network operator's business needs in order to implement various advanced scenarios such as bandwidth control, QoS (Quality of Service) assignment, control of data transfer quotas, etc. For more information about PortaSwitch and its PortaBilling B/OSS component, email PortaOne at [email protected], or call 866 SIP VOIP (866 747 8647) or +1 604 628 2508 outside North America.
