The aim of the testing is to verify the standard communication and billing functionality between the Adax Packet Data Network Gateway (PGW) and PortaBilling, PortaOne’s OCS and BSS. The extensive interoperability testing covered the following:
- diameter interconnectivity;
- rejection of UE (user equipment) attach for non-existent subscribers;
- hotlined connection for expired, blocked or suspended subscribers;
- billing for multiple rating groups within a session;
- hotlined connection when a subscriber has insufficient funds; and
- connection re-establishment upon subscriber payment.
PortaOne enables telecom operators to quickly launch and effectively deliver multiple voice, data and converged services on a single platform. Its flagship product, PortaSwitch, is built around a converged carrier-grade BSS & OCS platform (PortaBilling) combined with a class 4-5 SIP softswitch and media applications for conferencing, IVR and unified messaging. PortaBilling is RADIUS/Diameter based and compatible with major SBC and media gateway vendors. PortaBilling can process real time pre-paid and post-paid charges for voice and video calls, internet connectivity, MVNO and IPTV services, Wi-Fi/Wi-MAX access, data and faxes, or one-time events such as SMS or a pay-per-view movie.
