What is Convergent Charging?
Convergent charging is a solution that enables telco operators to offer and manage a variety of different services — including voice, video, data, and multimedia — and charge customers on a prepaid or post-paid basis. With a convergent charging solution in place, telcos can simplify their billing and charging systems to reduce operating expenses and [...]
What is Quality of Service (QoS)?
Quality of Service (QoS) encompasses the tools and technologies that enable telco operators to ensure networks, applications, and services are highly performant regardless of network capacity. By giving network admins visibility into important metrics and allowing them to allocate bandwidth to mission-critical applications as traffic ebbs and flows, QoS technologies ensure that high-priority networks and [...]
What is High Availability and Why Do You Need it?
High availability describes systems or networks that can operate continuously, with minimal downtime, even during peak usage. The advent of 5G has made high availability more important than ever as it has significantly increased the volume, variety, and velocity of data flowing into systems. What’s the Purpose of High Availability? The goal of high availability [...]
The (Very Important) Difference Between ‘Reacting’ and ‘Responding’ to Data
The data world is changing faster than ever—but it’s always changing faster than ever. The speeds and volumes at which data now enters enterprise systems are of course far greater than even a year ago, and a year ago it was far greater than the year before, and so on and so on. Now—with (relatively) [...]
What is Network Slicing?
Network slicing is the process of dividing physical networks into several smaller virtual networks that can be configured to support unique architectures, rules, performance characteristics, and security features based on predetermined KPIs and service-level agreements (SLAs). With network slicing, telecom operators can create multiple networks, each with its own tenant, using the same underlying infrastructure. [...]
