MoniTel Product Overview

MoniTel's product line consists of 3 layers:

  • Hardware – The probe and cross-connect units which reside by the network element and extract the signaling information. The Probe unit communicates with the main processing unit. Typical deployment involves installation of large number of probe units.
  • Processing unit and Application Interface - processes the data collected by the probe units, hosts the database of the probing platform with a flexible API layer to variety of OSS/BSS applications and systems.
  • MoniTel's own Signaling based value added service applications.

Hardware

The Probing platform is fully compatible with most common communication networks as PSTN, GSM phase 2/2.5, UMTS/CDMA 2000, ATM Network, HSSL, IMA and fast Ethernet Network. Each I/O card probes 24 E1/T1 channels, with up to 144 E1/T1 channels in a 4U chassis. The Probe captures all signaling messages and sends it to the processor.

Processing & API

The processing unit collects messages and correlates it into Detailed Records (DR) – see figure 1. The processing unit correlates the signaling messages into a Detailed Record that documents the call/transaction and passes the fully correlated DRs to storage.
These records are created while the call/transaction is still active, and are available for the application level. Once the call/transaction is completed, the mediator passes to the application a full DR that documents the scenario. This feature is essential for various real-time DR based applications as fraud management, call trace and location.

Value Added Service platforms

MoniTel offers several application platforms for VAS with its probing technology.

  • Location – positioning and user status for LBS.
  • Enhanced call features - as call parking and missed call notification.
  • Network monitoring and reports.
  • Lawful Interception.
  • Roaming VAS – including advanced routing and missed call notification.
