Openet has announced a charging control (PCC) solution for voice over LTE (VoLTE) services which the vendor says has been successfully deployed on multiple operator networks worldwide. The standards compliant PCC solution enables operators to configure policies and develop new charging and billing models for VoLTE service rollouts.
Openet’s VoLTE solution can be deployed side-by-side with existing policy, charging and billing systems to meet time-to-market needs with minimal impact on existing infrastructure.
“VoLTE introduces more complex policy and charging challenges relative to other data services,” said Chris Hoover, global vice president of marketing at Openet. “For fast call setup and crystal clear voice quality, every individual VoLTE call requires dynamically managed quality of service. This means the PCC system must provide oversight for millions of separate data sessions, ensuring that each session delivers the instant response and voice quality that customers are used to receiving from circuit switched services.”
