Diameter Interfacing

Diameter becoming the principal connectivity protocol In next generation broadband networks, it is fundamental that products support Diameter interfacing as soon as possible. In the next few years more and more operators will adopt to all-IP networks, which means control signaling will migrate to Diameter. This protocol will be necessary for nearly any system in an all-IP network, as it provides authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) functionality, as well the required connectivity and interfacing for many key broadband systems in the Data and Control plane. Furthermore Diameter enables the exchange of information between network operators (for roaming purposes).

RADIUS-Diameter interworking

Service continuity between Fixed Line, Wi-Fi and Mobile network assets Subscribers use more and more different devices to access the network that they happen to be on (3G, LTE, Fixed or Wi-Fi). When they go online, users want access to their services whatever the network, device and location, at home, on the way or in the office. Communication service providers are looking for ways to monetize and leverage their existing Fixed Line network assets by associating them with high growth mobile services. The ability to connect RADIUS and Diameter network elements allows service providers to enable service continuity scenarios with converged policy control and integrated data bundles. Examples of such converged services are: common charging and subscriber policies across access networks, automatic access to Wi-Fi offload, seamless roaming scenarios between access providers including authentication and accounting of the subscriber, portable security and service assurance amongst others.
