Solutions

Security Edge Protection Proxy (SEPP)

The BroadForward Security Edge Protection Proxy (BroadForward SEPP) enables secure interconnect between 5G networks. The SEPP ensures end-to-end confidentiality and/or integrity protection between source and destination network for all 5G interconnect roaming messages. → Read more → Read more

Service Communication Proxy (SCP)

The BroadForward Service Communication Proxy (SCP) is a crucial component in the 5G network architecture that functions as an intermediary to enhance communication between different network functions (NFs). By facilitating service-based interactions, the SCP optimizes the discovery, routing, and load balancing of these communications, ensuring efficient resource utilization and improved network performance. It acts as a broker, providing features such as security, scalability, and resilience, thereby streamlining the service-oriented architecture inherent to 5G networks and supporting the dynamic, high-demand environment required by advanced 5G applications. → 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

Diameter routing (DSC-DRA-DEA-IWF)

The BroadForward Diameter Signaling Controller (BroadForward DSC) is the world’s leading product for Diameter Routing Agent (DRA), Diameter Edge Agent (DEA) and Interworking. It enables operators to create signaling scenarios across 2G/3G, 4G/LTE, 5G, IMS, Fixed, Wi-Fi, IT and M2M/IoT networks without the need for (proprietary) scripting or development. The BroadForward DSC can run as a standalone solution or combined on a single-engine platform with other BroadForward products, such as the BroadForward Signaling Transfer Point (STP). → Read more → Read more

Signaling Transfer Point (STP)

The BroadForward Next Generation Signaling Transfer Point (STP) is a award winning solution for intelligent routing of SS7 signaling traffic in 2G and 3G networks. It can be deployed on bare metal, virtual machines, containers, and cloud environments, either standalone or combined on a single-engine platform with other products, such as the BroadForward Diameter Signaling Controller (DSC) and BroadForward Firewall.

Diameter Firewall (DFW)

The BroadForward Diameter Firewall (BroadForward DFW) is a complete and advanced software-based solution that protects 4G networks against possible attacks, unauthorized senders, malformed messages, overload situations, and much more. The BroadForward DFW supports the relevant FS.19 GSMA guidelines for Signaling Firewalls of the Diameter protocol and can be deployed with the BroadForward SS7 Firewall (SS7FW) and the BroadForward 5G Firewall. → Read more → Read more

SS7 Firewall (SS7FW)

The BroadForward SS7 Firewall (SS7FW) is a complete and advanced software-based solution that protects 2G and 3G networks against potential attacks, unauthorized senders, malformed messages, overload situations, and much more. The BroadForward SS7FW supports the FS.11 GSMA guidelines for Signaling Firewalls of the SS7 protocol and can be deployed with the BroadForward Diameter Firewall (DFW). → Read more → Read more

Equipment Identity Register (EIR)

The BroadForward Next Generation Equipment Identity Register (EIR) is the world's most advanced software solution for authentication of mobile devices in the network, including IoT devices. It provides a single, unified access point, fully standards compliant, 100% software based and supports 2G/3G, 4G/LTE, 5G and IT interfaces. It also offers an extensive feature set for implementing service logic, active triggering, reporting, alarming and more. → Read more → Read more

Number Portability, ENUM (NP)

The BroadForward Number Portability software solution (NP) provides a fully productized, unified access point for Number Portability in the operator network. It enables centralized operations for service providers looking to streamline look-up access to number and address registries. It offers a converged solution working across Mobile (2G/3G, 4G, 5G), Fixed and OTT services. It enables flexible integration and access to legacy (INAP) and IP based Number Portability (ENUM) repositories. This is applicable for both external as well as internal systems such as STP, CRM, UDR and other subscriber data sources. The solution can act as a central Number Portability gateway and as a Number Portability server for ENUM. → Read more → Read more

Binding Support Function (BSF)

The BroadForward Binding Support Function (BroadForward BSF) enables policy/charging (PCF/CHF) scaling of the 5G network while ensuring session correlation for HTTP/2. For converged networks, the BroadForward BSF can also maintain session state between HTTP/2 and Diameter. The core function of the BSF is to track sessions that are located anywhere in the network, but share common criteria, such as subscriber identifiers. → Read more → Read more
