By Telecom Lead Team: Technology major HP
announced that Hutchison 3G (H3G) Austria deployed HP Home Subscriber Server
(HSS) as the core of a new LTE network that will bring faster speeds and better
mobile internet experience to 1.2 million customers.
As the primary repository of information on
all customers, including their personal profiles and the mobile services they
use, the HP HSS extends the existing HP subscriber data management architecture
at H3G Austria, which includes the HP Home Location Register (HLR) and HP
Profile Manager/User Data Repository.
HP HSS and HP HLR are deployed at more than
40 service providers worldwide.
As the master database of all of H3G
Austria’s LTE users, it will help the CSP manage network usage by controlling
access, authentication and authorization for every user on the network.
“The new LTE network will provide our
customers with the best possible mobile experience, and HP played a key role in
the successful integration with our LTE network equipment provider. HP is a
trusted partner that has worked closely with us for years, providing a wide
range of solutions from core network to BSS and infrastructure,” said Jan
Trionow, chief executive officer, Hutchison 3G Austria.
As part of the LTE project, HP provided H3G
Austria with additional solutions:
Intelligent network services on the same
service platform, including real-time call control, text message welcome and
roaming cost optimization.
HP AAA (authentication, authorization and
accounting) to streamline service provisioning.
HP Internet Usage Manager for improved
session management.
HP BSS (business support systems) for
better fraud management and revenue assurance.
HP Integration services for inter-carrier
billing, mediation and order management.
Many of the HP solutions deployed at H3G
Austria are part of the HP Actionable Customer Intelligence portfolio, which
helps CSPs build, analyze and act upon personalized customer profiles to
improve the customer experience.
“H3G Austria is able to transition
from 3G to LTE smoothly and cost-effectively with the HP HSS. Working closely
with H3G, HP deployed a disaster-tolerant, consolidated subscriber data
management platform that uses existing hardware, software and integrations to
reduce cost and speed time to market,” said David Sliter, vice president
and general manager, Communications and Media Solutions, HP.
Recently, HP launched its new Cloud Solutions that advance deployment of private, public and hybrid
clouds, enabling enterprises, service providers and governments to capitalize
on emerging market opportunities.
HP claims to have executed thousands of
successful cloud deployments. HP has helped clients get the best of a hybrid
delivery approach without the complexity. By incorporating both in-house and
externally sourced IT services, clients can pick the right method of delivery
to effectively meet time-to-market, availability and cost requirements.
Security concerns and a lack of internal skills continue to challenge
organizations’ evolution to the cloud.
