3GPP OFFLINE CHARGING
Intec’s Charging Collection Function (Intec CCF) supports 3GPP offline charging processes. The Intec CCF delivers a comprehensive offline charging capability and supports all aspects of 3G Partnership Project-defined service correlation and session/event charging. It offers a three-layer functionality (Data acquisition; Data processing and Data distribution) to offer scalability benefits, full recovery support and high performance.
The Intec CCF is a powerful, flexible and easy to use business logic module used to define charging collection processes. The Intec CCF handles all event validation, transformation, filtering, correlation, duplicate event checking, error processing, and auditing associated with CDR processing in accordance with 3GPP Offline Charging specifications.
ADVANTAGES
Allows creative service options and bundles for next generation services to be rapidly deployed
Ensures that a subscribers’ account is charged directly when the network resource is consumed
Provides granularity and transparency of all events taking place within sessions
Delivers a consistent and real time view of subscriber activity and performance
Cost-effective, low-risk solution in support of 3GPP offline charging implementation
Intec’s Offline Charging solution complements Intec’s Online Charging capability, to provide a complete 3GPP Charging Solution. The solution offers an integrated service architecture to control IP-centric services for authentication, authorisation, session control and service charging.
With these capabilities service providers can address their primary business challenges of streamlining existing network costs and assets, enabling new services to be brought online cheaply and quickly, and measuring performance by ‘service value’, as opposed to just data volume and network quality.
Intec’s complete Offline and Online Charging Solution helps service providers to bridge the migration to next generation services, by protecting investments already made in legacy networks and BSS. This approach includes a path from fast initial IP service deployment to full IP triple-play or quad-play convergence.
With more than ten years of experience in charging and mediation for both traditional and IP services, Intec brings deep knowledge of any type of service mediation and charging requirement and can assure a truly compliant, high-performance and low-latency solution for 3GPP Online and Offline Charging.
