Sytel Reply has realized a bespoke solution to manage a tier 1° Telco Operator Charging Solution. The software is able to process more than 30 million concurrent billing events daily generated by over 6 million MVNO customer.
In 2007, a major Italian telco operator decided to offer the use of its own telephone network to the mobile virtual operators (MVNO). Wholesale Rating & Billing (WRB) is the system responsible for charging the traffic generated by the MVNO SIM and billing to the MVNOs for the use of network resources created by MVNO users. In 2017 our customer expands its wholesale offer introducing fixed telephony services for its MVNO. Consequently WRB has evolved its capabilities in order to manage these new type of services.
In 2019 the system is re-engineered to manage the growing volumes managed by the platform. The new platform is based on a complete custom solution developed by Reply. WRB manages over 30 million daily traffic events (voice, sms, mms, 3G) generated by over 6 million MVNO customer SIM cards.
Sytel Reply has created a fully bespoke solution, realized overe a Master-Slave stateless architecture, which is able to scale horizontally adding new nodes, according to the needs of the moment.
The Solution provides also billing and reporting functionalities, which are spread among database nodes in order to provide such features independently of the current load. At the same way, rating activities are performed at database nodes, so they scale up concomitantly with all other functions. The bespoke solution has been realized on Java 11 (Spring Boot), Red Hat Linux Enterprise, Oracle 12c database.
