1 Full-MVNx enrollment approaches for different target strategies CTO Summer Summit St. Petersburg,

2 Full-MVNx Advantages Independence and Simplicity No changes in MNO functioning required; no impact to MNO core (HLR, MSC, GMSC and STP) Unique capability to have hosting agreements with several MNO in the same country to maintain highest voice/data quality and better coverage Standard settlements and interconnect agreements Flexibility Service portfolio may be developed basing on business reasons and targets Roaming options: roaming from host-operator, standard roaming agreements or multi-imsi roaming Data service delivery schemes: own or hosted GGSN together with own DPI/PCRF give maximum flexibility Own HLR/AUC enable to manage SIM cards and maintain security Traffic routes may be configured to minimize MNO network usage Security HLR/HSS may use the most advanced security algorithms

6 Typical MVNO business models Roaming Retail MVNO Ethnic Brand M2M/ IOT

7 ROAMING MVNO Roaming optimization services (price cutting) Call back services Local number services Roaming MVNO Business demands Direct traffic routes for signaling and voice Direct roaming or quazi-roaming agreements with MVNOs in other countries Own Dual/Multi-IMSI platform Own STP for flexible signaling traffic handling Specific component of the billing system for interconnect and roaming Technical approach answering business demands

8 PROTEI STP what s for? Is special routing for particular messages required? Is signaling routing too complicated? Can t connect more than one roaming provider? Signaling traffic routing isn t flexible enough PROTEI STP enables to solve these tasks fast and efficiently Can t deploy active steering platform or SMS Firewall?

9 Multi-IMSI: the most prospective roaming approach for MVNO/MVNE Partners in target countries may be chosen independently on Host MNO preferences Attractive roaming proposals allow efficient MVNO positioning on the market The only capability to sign direct roaming agreement with MVNOs Competitive price proposals for some markets/niches Possibility to deploy unique services like data packages for roamers or free inbound calls Independency Partnership with other MVNOs

10 Multi-IMSI roaming: General Idea Temporary subscription in VPLMN ordered by SMS or USSD Subscriber is available both by home and local numbers All VPLMN services become available for the subscriber including data services It is possible to optimize interconnection and traffic routing upon bilateral agreements

11 Multi-IMSI roaming: How It Works?

12 Multi-IMSI roaming: How It Works? Subscription Can be done both from VPLMN and HPLMN using variety of channels (SMS, USSD, IVR or WEB) Number is automatically allocated from the pool of VPLMN subscriptions the platform has Subscription is downloaded via OTA Different options available like daily subscription, monthly, unlimited etc 12

13 Multi-IMSI roaming: How It Works? Part 2. Routing Home number is always active Subscriber can make and receive calls and SMS using his home number Standard MAP procedures are used Data services are also available 13

14 Multi-IMSI roaming: How it works? Part 3 Security No need to share local Ki; system interrogating home HLR only One-time session keys are used during subscriptions delivery via OTA Only IMSI is transferred over OTA 14

15 Solution Components System components SIM-applet MAP processing subsystem CAP processing subsystem Subscription management subsystem

16 ETHNIC MVNO Ethnic MVNO Services targeted to specific diaspores or ethnic groups Business demands Native language services Specific distribution channels Specific services related to home number activity (cheap incoming calls to home number etc) Technical approach answering business demands Own Dual/Multi-IMSI platform Direct/cost efficient interconnect for voice and signaling with target coutries/operators Specific billing components (interconnect) Own switching kernel Own call center Flexible payment capabilities

17 M2M/IOT MVNO M2M/IOT MVNO Business demands Technical issues Services targeted to automated devices Serving huge number of devices with specific traffic profile (including data-only devices) Administration, management and monitoring of such devices Flexible data traffic management Optional cheap data roaming or reasonable alternative Own HLR/HSS with acceptable licensing Own device management platform (MDM) Own data traffic management platform (DPI+PCRF)

18 PROTEI HLR: cost efficient and fully functional HLR Ideal solution for remote network segments, MVNO and small/medium sized operators Convenient licensing either by subscribers or by transactions Embedded AUC HSS functionality Scalable and reliable

19 PROTEI HLR: Integration with Operator s Core Infrastructure Supported protocols & dialects MAP v1 3 CAMEL 2,3 DIAMETER S6a DIAMETER Sh Supported connectivity SIGTRAN/M3UA with multihoming support SIGTRAN/M2PA with multihoming support

20 PROTEI HLR: Supported Location Services Any Time Interrogation Provide Subscriber Information Provide Subscriber Location Mobility CSI (Map-Note- MM-Event)

21 HLR: Embedded AUC Supports all key encryption algorithms COMP 128 v2 COMP 128 v3 Milenage Secure download of IMSI-Ki batches File-based or JSON-based APIs with optional transportlevel encryption

22 PROTEI HLR/HSS main technical parameters Capacity and throughput MAP,CAP transport layer Diameter transport layer Provisioning API AUC - up to 10M subscribers per database server, several servers may work in load sharing mode - up to 1000 TPS per signaling front-end; unlimited number of front-ends supported - SIGTRAN/M3UA; SIGTRAN/M2PA - SCTP - JSON, single and batch operations - Embedded - COMP 128v3 + MILENAGE - K4 for transport level encryption - Different MILENAGE parameters for different IMSI groups (OP, C1-C5 etc) essential for MVNE - Different transport keys for different IMSI groups

23 PROTEI HLR: HW & SW platform HW x86 servers Any industrial vendor (HP, IBM etc) Virtualization supported SW Red Hat Linux ORACLE RDBMS (Enterprise v11 and higher recommended)

24 DPI &PCRF key components of data traffic management DPI PCRF Traffic prioritization Bandwidth management Services and resources differentiation Service delivery basing on instructions received from PCRF Policy management for subscribers Data bundles management Charging within preordered data bundles

25 What s for? Performs data processing by highly efficient 2Gbit/s, 10 Gbit/s or 40 Gbit/s boards developed by PROTEI including shaping, traffic prioritization, blocking etc Detects P2P application traffic, voice / video over the IP, instant messengers, PCgames and game consoles, including encrypted traffic Answers any business demands with more than 1500 supported and regularly updated traffic signatures together with signature constructor which allows to create extremely flexible traffic processing rules Supports real-time charging basing on quotas provided via Gy or Gx (Diameter) as well as per-service quotas Able to apply different traffic processing rules and policies to a subscriber basing on commands from PCRF, user priority, current network load Manages speed, flow priorities, charging rules based on traffic belonging to a particular service Enables traffic redirection to various landing pages and revenue generating portals, collects and displays statistical information about the consumption of resources including IPDR and graphical reports generation

26 PROTEI DPI: Protocol detection criteria Packet direction (uplink/downlink) Sender s and recipient s IPaddresses and ports Transport level protocols Protocol parameters (like HTTP User-Agent, HTTP Content-Type, SIP Request URI) Traffic signatures

27 Reporting

28 Big Data/ Business Intelligence Passing all user traffic through itself, DPI may know about subscribers as much as social network knows; this information may be efficiently used for analysis and provided to advertisers and advertising agencies PROTEI DPI allows to log into CDR all information regarding visited sites and their categories, e.g. auto-dealers, hiring agencies etc Targeted advertising only may be shown to subscribers; it will be much more efficient comparing with traditional advertising model Detailed statistic and information regarding subscribers behavior will help Operator to optimize its proposals, rate plans, marketing activities etc.

29 PROTEI DPI Characteristics Each 10 Gbps DPI module is capable of: 32 million unidirectional flows (connections) or 16M bidirectional sessions 1M concurrent subscribers 250K bidirectional sessions per second 9 Gbps Fullduplex
