F5 Networks Inc. has announced that ASPIDER has selected the F5 Traffix Signaling Delivery Controller (SDC) Diameter solution, to help manage Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) wholesale solutions for their Tier 1 carrier clients. The F5 Traffix SDC enables both the routing of the billing message and the translation between the various protocols involved. Every time a subscriber of the carrier’s MVNO customer sends an SMS or MMS message, the related billing charges are routed to the ASPIDER Online Charging System via the F5 Traffix SDC. In this deployment, the SDC routes from multiple vendors’ core systems and supports Diameter and SCAP interconnectivity.
“We chose the F5 Traffix SDC for its technical routing superiority in handling complex inter connectivity with the various networks, protocols, and vendors,” said David Traynor, CEO of ASPIDER U.S.“We need the flexibility to interconnect to just about any core equipment, with the platform to handle scale and reliability.”Â
“ASPIDER enables enhanced scalability and reliability for carriers to better manage wholesale solutions, particularly as the market ramps up for LTE,” said Ben Volkow, VP of Product Development at F5. “With F5 Traffix, ASPIDER can provide an efficient and strategic approach for large carriers to generate new revenues and maintain quality of service across customer segments.”
This product offers instant and cost-effective, any-to-any connectivity between Diameter-based interfaces and systems that use legacy signaling protocols. With seamless connectivity between all Diameter network elements, legacy network elements, and an unlimited variety of third-party vendors, MVNOs, roaming partners, and service providers have an easy migration path with countless opportunities to pursue alternative business models and introduce additional revenue sources.
