Interworking

Protocol interworking

BroadForward Protocol interworking empowers operators with advanced multi-protocol routing and interworking. It designed to enable signaling scenarios between and across 3GPP based networks (2G, 3G, 4G, 5G, IMS) and non-3GPP networks (Wi-Fi, Cable, DSL, FTTH, Fixed). The productized solution offers users a flexible and integrated set of routing and service creation capabilities that work out-of-the-box and need no scripting or vendor involvement. → Read more → Read more

Diameter mediation

BroadForward Diameter mediation empowers operators to quickly resolve Diameter interoperability issues and enable advanced signaling scenarios. It works in multi-vendor, multi-protocol environments without the need for scripting and without the need for vendor involvement. → Read more → Read more

3G-4G data roaming, MAP-Diameter interworking, HLR Proxy

BroadForward offers MAP-Diameter interworking to enable 3G-4G roaming. The software solution provides a fully productized implementation of the TS 29.305 function for interworking between MAP-based Gr, Gf interfaces and Diameter-based S6a, S6d, S13, S13a interfaces. The solution acts as an HLR front-end or HLR Proxy. → Read more → Read more

Wi-Fi/Fixed integration, RADIUS-Diameter interworking

The BroadForward solution for RADIUS-Diameter interworking enables cellular and Wi-Fi/Fixed integration. The software solution provides an extensive set of service logic functions for advanced RADIUS to Diameter and RADIUS to SS7 interworking. This allows operartors to quickly integrate RADIUS based Fixed Line and Wi-Fi network elements such as Edge Gateways and AAA, Wi-Fi Access Gateways with Diameter and SS7 based Mobile network elements such as HLR, HSS, PCRF and OCS. → Read more → Read more

4G-5G signaling interworking

To prevent operators from having to switch to a full 5G core all at once, the BroadForward converged signaling solution enables operators to have multiple generations of core network functions co-existing and working together. The solution allows existing 4G network components (and even legacy 2G/3G systems) to be retained and combined with new 5G core network functions in a virtual environment. The software solution provides an extensive set of service logic functions for advanced HTTP/2 interworking. This allows operators to extend the use of SS7 and Diameter based network elements such as SMSC, PCRF and OCS. → Read more → Read more
