AAA Server
Carrier-Grade AAA Server
What is AAA Server?
Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) is an intelligent and essential service and policy control framework in WiFi, FTTx, 5G, and other IP-based broadband networks. The AAA framework facilitates access controls on networks, authenticates valid subscribers to use services, and monitors, audits, and accounts actions performed by subscribers.
What are the uses of the AAA Server?
A robust AAA framework optimizes the utilization of resources, facilitates high availability, and ensures scalability and a high QoS to meet dynamically changing network traffic demands. An advanced AAA server helps streamline operations and supports next-gen use cases like slice authentication, authentication and authorization for DNN provisioning, and authenticating access from non-3GPP networks.
5G and NFVi Compliant 3GPP AAA Server
Seamless Authentication, Authorization, Accounting (AAA)
Centralized configuration management swiftly updates all changes across AAA nodes, improving operational efficiency and reducing errors. Alepo’s integration framework uses API gateways for smooth AAA transformation without impacting existing IT systems.
Connect All Networks - Fixed, Mobile and WiFi
Alepo’s dual-stack RADIUS and Diameter 3GPP AAA helps streamline operations, reduce total cost of ownership (TCO), and deliver convergent services using a single AAA portal for fixed (xDSL, FTTx, cable), wireless (WiFi, WiMAX), and mobile (3G, LTE, EVDO, HSPA, 5G) networks.
Implement WiFi calling (SWm, S6b, STa), WiFi offload (SWx, SWa, EAP-SIM, EAP-AKA, EAP-AKA’), M2M, real-time charging (DCCA, Ro), and other emerging mobile use cases and Alepo’s carrier-grade WiFi hotspot business model enables full monetization.
Real-Time Policy Control With Enhanced Charging Abilities
Launch prepaid plans with zero revenue leakage, deliver bandwidth-on-demand/turbo boost, and communicate instantly with customers using real-time policy control. Real-time quota management accounting enables online charging abilities based on time, volume, and events.
Instant mid-session policy changes let you enable new plans and services without requiring subscribers to disconnect or reset their connections. The AAA also facilitates dynamic redirection of hotline customers based on packet requirements.
Advanced Analytics, Best of Breeds, 5G-Ready, Cloud-Native AAA
The stateless server offers unmatched capabilities:
- Is deployed at leading global CSPs: Saudi Telecom, Digicel, Ooredoo, and more.
- Deploys in any NFVi environment using ETSI-based standard integration.
- Integrates with the 5G core network to perform slice authentication, authentication and authorization for DNN provisioning and authenticating access from non-3GPP networks.
- Provides usage and location-based analytics.
- Dynamically scales horizontally and vertically: industry-leading TPS benchmarks and sub-millisecond latency.
- Includes custom scripting to meet new requirements without touching the source code.
- Supports public, private, or hybrid cloud models.
- Ensures vendor neutrality: a decade of IOTs with leading industry players.
