Telenor Global Services Selects Oracle's Tekelec Diameter Signalling Router

Oracle announced that Telenor Global Services intends to make its LTE roaming services available around the world using Oracle's Tekelec Diameter Signalling Router. The solution will enable national and international roaming and over-the-top (OTT) services, such as voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) for partner service providers, helping to increase revenues and provide subscribers with greater LTE network access.

Diameter signaling messages transmit essential subscriber mobile data activities, including authorization, authentication, billing, charging and network policy information. As smartphone and tablet proliferation and consumer data demands increase, the number of Diameter signaling messages in CSP networks will also grow exponentially, requiring advanced signaling technology to properly manage network traffic.

Telenor Global Services will deploy Oracle's Tekelec Diameter Signaling Router as part of its Global LTE Roaming Signaling and IP packet eXchange (IPX) offerings.

The solution will provide Diameter Edge Agent (DEA) functionality, which will enable Telenor to connect securely with third-party partners to share resources - such as when a customer is roaming between networks. The solution will deliver essential interoperability and interworking as the central point in Telenor Global Services' network to relay Diameter messages across operators' networks.

Oracle's Tekelec Diameter Signaling Router offers international IPX providers, such as Telenor Global Services, the ability to build software-defined networks and create new mobile data revenue opportunities.
