PortaOne And Vedicis Partner To Offer Policy-Based Traffic Control And Billing For IP Network ServicesVANCOUVER, British Columbia and PARIS, Aug. 25, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Global communications software company PortaOne, Inc. and Vedicis, a Paris-based provider of policy control tools for Internet Service Providers (ISPs), today announced assured interoperability of PortaOne's PortaSwitch with the Vedicis Content Smart Switch. Together, the two products can provide greater business opportunities and network control for ISPs by monitoring, analyzing, controlling and monetizing specific customer services according to policies set by the provider. PortaSwitch, PortaOne's flagship product, is an integrated softswitch and subscriber management platform at the center of many of the world's most successful next-generation telecommunications companies. Comprised of a Class 4/5 SIP softswitch, converged billing and provisioning capabilities, and integrated media applications, the platform allows both retail and wholesale Internet Telephone Service Providers (ITSPs) to deploy and manage virtually any kind of IP-based telephony service. By implementing a pre-integrated PortaSwitch/Content Smart Switch solution, ISPs will enjoy a flexible, reliable customer billing engine with solid policy control. The Vedicis Content Smart Switch acts as a DPI-PCEF (Deep Packet Inspection-Policy and Charging Enforcement) platform. In addition to providing real-time IP traffic analysis, the software measures and enforces policies and usage charges. It allows service providers to offer data packages based on privileged applications like YouTube, Facebook or VoIP apps; it can also support other terms as desired (e.g., free use of privileged apps at certain times of day). "Traffic and usage shaping is becoming increasingly important to ISPs as they address the diverse needs of business customers," noted Roan Khalenkov, Sales and Marketing Director for PortaOne. "Providers are also setting and enforcing policies that are set either by internal business requirements or by customer demands. The combination of PortaSwitch and Vedicis Content Smart Switch is a robust, reliable and flexible solution that meets these important priorities."
