The companies’ joint, real-time policy control and charging solution, which consists of Comptel Policy Control and Procera’sPacketLogic Subscriber Manager and PacketLogic Real-Time Enforcement (PRE), enables communications service providers (CSP) to offer, manage and monetise advanced data services, while optimising network usage, improving the overall customer experience.

Comptel Policy Control gives CSPs the levers they need to transform their technology investments into profitable new business it helps them combine sophisticated charging rules for multi-vendor 3G, LTE, WiMAX, fixed and cable networks with the real-time application of network and business policy. Based on the proven Comptel Control and Charge platform, it supports a number of use cases including subscription redirection, fair usage, time-, location- and URL-based policy, parental controls and roaming.

The interoperability test demonstrated how policy and charging rules managed by Comptel Policy Control could be enforced in Procera’s PRE product based on the real-time inspection of network traffic. The fully integrated, 3GPP-compliant solution provides:
