Volubill, Sandvine build joint solution for traffic management

Real-time policy management and charging solutions provider Volubill announced that the company has completed interoperability testing with Sandvine, a provider of network policy control solutions for fixed and mobile wireless operators, to create a solution that gives network operators an understanding of network traffic and congestion required to deliver more contextualized data service plans.
The fully tested and pre-integrated solution will allow operators to rapidly put in place a real-time policy enforcement and management engine and should reduce the cost of deployment and allow for higher speeds of implementation. Volubill offers real-time granular charging for any data, content, VoIP or messaging service. The announcement builds on the deployments of Volubill’s online charging system at various Orange subsidiaries and at Movistar Venezuela, to support prepaid charging models.
“Volubill is focused on providing solutions that will enable network operators to take advantage of the mobile data services revenue opportunity,” said John Aalbers, CEO of Volubill. “By delivering an interoperable solution that optimizes 3GPP standards, we can help network operators to better understand network traffic behavior and to use that information to improve the personalization of subscriber services and pricing plans while enhancing customer quality of experience.”
Volubill’s CONTROL IT policy management solution is tested and pre-integrated with Sandvine’s policy traffic switch policy control and enforcement solution to meet 3GPP diameter Gx and 3GPP diameter Gy protocol requirements.
“Deploying the joint Sandvine and Volubill solution gives network operators better visibility and understanding of network traffic, and the means to dynamically manage that traffic with full context-awareness,” said Tom Donnelly, EVP of marketing and sales at Sandvine. “These capabilities are critical to a network operator’s ability to implement optimized, differentiated, and easy-to-manage customer offerings.”
Sandvine caters to more than 200 service providers in more than 80 nations while Volubill services more than 80 operators worldwide.
