Blueslice Networks has introduced what it calls the world’s first fully-integrated 3GPP HLR, IMS HSS and WiMAX AAA server, on its CSP 3000 platform.
The latest software release includes the capability to act as a WiMAX Authentication, Authorization and Accounting server as standardized by the WiMAX Forum NWG specifications. It is compliant with both fixed (802.16d) and mobile (802.16e) WiMAX implementations.
WiMAX support is added as a simple software upgrade on existing AAA 3000 deployments and can simultaneously coexist with the ngHLR 3000, HSS 3000 and SIP-AS 3000 front-ends on the same hardware platform, leveraging one unique distributed back-end subscriber database. Such a unique architecture allows operators to reduce complexity and costs by managing all subscriptions of a given subscriber in a central coordinated way, while enabling them to simplify the life of their subscribers with single-sign-on across network domains.
Blueslice is currently working with a range of WiMAX access and core network vendors delivering a fully integrated end-to-end solution for operators who wish to complement their WiMAX operations with an IMS service layer and infrastructure-based MVNO operations.
