Features and Benefits

●

Supports a broad range of wireless and wireline access technologies on a common AAA server platform,

delivering operational and capital expense savings while providing flexibility to the service provider

regarding choice in AAA.

●

Provides extensive subscriber data store support including an internal database and integration with

external databases including Oracle, MySQL, and OpenLDAP through the use of connectivity mechanisms

such as Open Database Connectivity (ODBC), LDAP, Oracle Call Interface (OCI), and Java Database

Connectivity (JDBC).

●

Provides scalability to support large service deployments. This true 64-bit application can take advantage

of 64-bit architecture when used in 64-bit compatible hardware and host OS. An external session manager

allows tens of millions of simultaneous active sessions. Additionally, the multithreaded architecture provides

performance that scales with additional CPUs.

●

Efficiently manages resource use with real-time session management to track user sessions and

dynamically allocate resources like IP addresses and user/group session limits.

●

Gives service providers an off-the-shelf, standards-based RADIUS/Diameter server that is highly flexible

and extensible. With extension point scripting (EPS), the solution can be customized to meet unique

business, regulatory, and technical requirements.

●

Provides broad integration support: Reduces operational costs and speeds service rollout by supporting

integration with provisioning, billing, and other service-management components.

●

Supports seamless Wi-Fi data offload through the ability to interface directly with the Home Location

Subscriber Server (HSS) through the SWx interface over Diameter.
