Sandvine has released the latest version of its usage management product that helps service providers bill for pre- and post-paid service plans.
Sandvine’s Usage Management 3.1 features a new record generator license.
Other features include:
- Support for detailed and accurate charging requirements for post-paid service plans using an interface to Offline Charging Systems (OFCS)
- Customizable, policy-based usage data records based on flexible network policy rules, triggered by time or volume
- Support for a variety of use cases, such as usage record transfer to operational support systems (OSS) for customer bill auditing, or for backup of Online Charging Systems (OCS)
- Integration with legacy and 3G mobile networks and migration into future 4G networks.
“It is no longer about the broadband-connected home but about the broadband-connected individual,” said Tom Donnelly, executive vice president of marketing and sales at Sandvine. “Service providers worldwide are looking for tools that enable their subscribers to stay within their service plans, regardless of when, where or how they connect to the network.”
