Allot Service Enablement

Subscriber Management Platform

Enabling Service Innovation: Personalize the Use.
Monetize the Experience.
The challenge for fixed, mobile, and converged service providers is to deploy differentiated and profitable network
services that consistently deliver the Quality of Experience (QoE) that each subscriber expects, while retaining
control over network utilization and costs. Allot Subscriber Management Platform (SMP) helps service providers
achieve this goal. The flexible service tiering, powerful policy control, and real-time charging provided by Allot
SMP is the key to implementing competitive and profitable business models to personalize service offerings andmaximize service revenues. Allot SMP also extends per-user management to large enterprises which provide
critical connectivity services to employees.

Benefits
oo Service Tiering and Quota Management

Visibility
Allot SMP maps dynamically allocated IP addresses to assigned
subscribers, allowing service providers and large enterprises toaccurately monitor, analyze, and meter subscriber data services
over multiple concurrent access types. It supports both IPv4, IPv6,and hybrid networks and can correlate multiple IP addresses persubscriber as needed.

oPolicy and Charging Control
Allot SMP employs standard 3GPP interfaces that empower Allot
inline platforms to operate seamlessly in mobile and converged
broadband networks as an intelligent Policy Control and Enforcement
Function (PCEF) and/or Traffic Detection Function (TDF) nodes withintegration to operator Policy and Charging Rule Function (PCRF),
and Online and Offline Charging Systems (OCS/OFCS).

See. Control. Secure.

Allot SMP can be configured to provide a standalone Policy Control
and Enforcement solution with a rich service creation frameworkthat facilitates the rapid deployment of tiered service plans basedon personal Quality of Service (QoS) parameters, usage quotas,
and overage policies that enforce how each subscriber’s traffic istreated. In this configuration, Allot also supports other interfaces for
integrating to existing non-3GPP based OSS/BSS functions.

FeaturesGet a Clear Picture of Subscriber Usage
Understanding subscriber behavior is the first step to identifying
ARPU opportunities and creating profitable service plans. Allot SMP
provides real-time and long-term analytical reports detailing theusage patterns of individual subscribers, including the applications
and devices they use and the volume of traffic they generate. A fullset of analytics dashboards show service providers how often data
users access the service, how long they stay connected, their session
signaling and average bit rate, the VoIP minutes they consume, andmuch more. These vital statistics can be exported to other systems
in the form of subscriber-, application-, and session-based Charging
Data Records (CDR), enabling operators to analyze subscriber
behavior and to direct broadband resources toward more profitablerevenue plans.

NetXplorer management system, or with the interactive dashboardsof Allot ClearSee Network Analytics, which help you:

Monetize with Value-based Policyand Charging Control
Monetizing the customer experience is the key to broadband
service profitability. Allot ChargeSmart (a licensed componentof Allot SMP) helps broadband operators implement innovative
charging models that reflect the true value of their service tosubscribers and content providers.

Allot ChargeSmart
Allot ChargeSmart enables real-time, pay-for-use charging based on theconsumption of data and applications per volume and time. It integrates
seamlessly in 3G and 4G mobile networks, where it orchestrates thevalue-based charging process using standard 3GPP interfaces:o Via Diameter Gx, Allot ChargeSmart communicates with PCRF
systems in real time, managing and enforcing QoS policy andmetering usage for mobile sessions and applications based on
the subscriber service plan. Granular policies such as online
portal redirection, application detection, and cell congestion
management can also be managed by this interface.

o Identify top applications and top userso Analyze application usage per subscriber

oVia Diameter Sd, Allot ChargeSmart communicates with
PCRF systems in LTE and 3G networks to support advanced
service detection and notification capabilities, and performs
enforcement with TDF.

oVia Diameter Gy, Allot ChargeSmart meters and conveys realtime usage data to OCS and manages the rating of applications
and sessions. The Gy interface supports the most appealing
use cases for usage-based charging, including out-of-credit
session handling, top-up for prepaid, and dual metering such as
metering time and volume for Video Streaming applications.

oVia Gz, Allot ChargeSmart exports summary records to OFCS
for data reconciliation and accounting needs. Operators also
leverage this interface to support revenue sharing models
involving Over-The-Top (OTT) content, and to facilitate efficientsession-level monitoring offline.

o Create subscriber profiles based on usage patterns
o Deploy personalized service plans for individuals and groups
o Evaluate the performance of tiered and quota service planso Monitor congestion and manage subscriber Quality ofExperience in oversubscribed cell, BRAS or CMTS elementso Troubleshoot customer problems fasterHeavy Users Dashboard

Allot works actively within the 3GPP forum to introduce and standardize
effective methods for dealing with Diameter signaling storms between
network elements, which occur frequently and pose a serious challenge
when activating complex use cases.

QoE Congestion Managementwith Allot QualityProtector

Allot TierManager and Allot QuotaManager (licensed components ofAllot SMP) provide a complete, standalone service creation and policy
management framework for the rapid deployment of tiered and quota
services that allow consumers to choose the Internet experience thatbest suits their life-style and budget, while operators maintain control
over network use.

The Allot QualityProtector module within Allot SMP gives you realtime control over network congestion and its impact on Qualityof Experience, so you can extract more value from deployed
infrastructure and postpone or even obviate the need for expensive
network expansion. QoE is personal. That’s why Allot monitors thequality of individual connections (QoE indicators) together withspecific locations in the network, such as within a mobile cell, aBRAS interface, or a CMTS channel/bonding group. Depending on
the real-time quality level detected, Allot automatically adjusts andre-allocates bandwidth to applications and users connected tothe affected network location in order to maximize the Quality ofExperience your network is able to deliver at any given moment.

Allot TierManager
Allot TierManager allows providers to define competitive, applicationaware service plans with different QoS policies and Service-Level
Agreements (SLA), and then assign individual subscribers to the plans.
In mobile networks, cell-aware service plans can also be defined,
enabling temporary QoS measures to be enforced within a cell when it
is congested.

Allot QuotaManager
Allot QuotaManager allows providers to further differentiate theirservice offering by including usage allowances and overage policies
in the service plan. Usage caps based on volume and time may be
managed per subscriber and per application. Allot controls the meteringand enforcement process for each subscriber and produces standard
CDRs for mediation and/or billing systems. A full complement of reports
give operators the tools to analyze overall quota usage as well as
individual subscriber status and quota consumption.
When quota limits are reached, subscribers may be redirected to theoperator service portal where they can view usage history, extend
allowances, or upgrade their service plan. Allot QuotaManager also
supports “turbo button” options that allow subscribers to accelerate
upload/download speeds and boost an application’s performance for adesignated period of time.
