intec ims charging solution
A proven, standards-compliant solution for online and offline IMS Charging
The IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) offers a reference architecture for delivering advanced communications services across all networks; wireless, wireline, and data. The IMS specifications help carriers construct networks that provide subscribers with a variety of communication services common to all access devices. IMS promises new opportunities for cost effective rollout for multimedia services, in an open, standards based framework.
To meet the needs of fixed, wireless, cable and IP carriers implementing or migrating to IMS-based networks, Intec has developed the Intec IMS Charging Solution. The solution, which has undergone extensive interoperability testing with network equipment manufacturers, builds on our experience in supporting IP-based services in some of the world’s largest carriers, using proven technology to provide operators with a low risk, highly scalable solution. The Intec IMS Charging Solution, which is available immediately, offers both offline and online charging capabilities, and is fully compliant with relevant 3GPP specifications, ensuring best practice in the creation of IMS charging functions for next generation IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) enabled services.
The Intec IMS Charging Solution provides:
- A fully-compliant solution for IMS Online and Offline charging to current 3GPP and 3GPP2 specifications
- Tested interoperability with the leading network equipment vendors
- Pre-integration with other key OSS/BSS components, including billing and settlement
- Proven scalability, performance and reliability for deployment in production applications
- A low risk charging solution, supporting migration from traditional to next generation services
- Global deployment and support services from a vendor with unmatched expertise in IP billing and charging in major carriers
The Intec IMS Charging Solution incorporates both Offline Charging and Online Charging functions as defined by the IMS specification. The Intec Charging Collection Function (Intec CCF) delivers a comprehensive offline charging capability and supports all aspects of IMS service correlation and session/event charging. For Online Charging the Intec Online Charging Solution (Intec OCS) is fully compliant with the relevant IMS specifications relating to real-time authorisation of requests for services as well as full provision of rating (RF) and account balance management (ABMF) functionality. Intec IMS Charging Solution is designed to support the key principles associated with the introduction of IMS, including access independence; unified account management; and cross-transport mobility at both the terminal (roaming) and user (IMS & SIP) level.
