Location Based Services (LBS)

The BroadForward Location Based Services solution (BroadForward LBS) consists of the Gateway Mobile Location Center (GMLC), the Location Retrieval Function (LRF) and the Routing Determination Function (RDF). The productized software solution enables flexible integration for Location Clients (LCS) such as emergency services, law enforcement, regulatory/legislative and enterprise clients. It provides operators with a unified access point to retrieve, store and maintain location information, based on Cell ID, Geodetic location data (e.g. GPS location) and Civic location information provided by the MSC, SGSN, MME,HSS/HLR, UDM and AMF.

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

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.

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.
