3 Tekelec Releases First Diameter Signaling Index September, 2013 With Diameter at the center of Tekelec s New Diameter Network framework, the LTE Diameter Signaling Index is part of Tekelec s industry thought leadership positioning. By highlighting policy as having the largest impact on Diameter signaling growth, Tekelec plays to its market-leading policy control and DSR strengths. Tekelec recently published its LTE Diameter Signalling Index, which it believes is the industry s first attempt to forecast the growth of Diameter signalling traffic in LTE networks this growth rate, the firm says, is three times faster than the growth that mobile data traffic is expected to show over the same period. According to the "LTE Diameter Signaling Index" published by Tekelec almost any move a mobile operator makes to introduce new services or creative charging models, or to ensure QoS for voice and video offers on its new LTE network, will increase signaling traffic. That's why it's an important technology to watch. It will also be fascinating to see just how operators choose to design their networks to deal with this onslaught of Diameter signaling traffic. Diameter signaling traffic to see 962% CAGR in CALA by 2016 Tekelec Tekelec released its LTE Diameter Signalling Index. This report projects that diameter traffic will increase at a +252% CAGR until 2016 from 800k to 47 million messages per second globally. This is due to a radical change in applications behavior, as well as the new pricing and business models put in place by operators. Policy management, QoS management, metered charging, 2 sided business models and M2M traffic are some of the culprits highlighted in the report. Diameter signaling could become the new front line in signaling storms, Tekelec claims, with growth in Diameter traffic forecast to more than triple mobile data traffic growth through
