DPI Deployments (10): Belgacom Uses Mobixell (724) to Manage Mobile Broadband Services

  
Mobixell announced that Belgacom, Belgium's largest mobile operator deployed Mobixell's Seamless Access Solution, a product of 724 Solutions, recently acquired by Mobixell.


Press release - "Mobixell Announces Deployment of Seamless Access at Belgacom to Manage the Growth of Their Mobile Internet and Mobile Broadband Services" - here.



Seamless Access, a "Mobile Internet Gateway" integrates a number of services that allows mobile operators to control, manage, optimize, filter, charge and provide value-added services to mobile internet and mobile broadband users. Data traffic flows reaching the gateway are examined for their application type (with or without DPI), subscriber’s service plan and other conditions and then steered (routed) to the relevant service elements (one or more).

Such integrated system, with multiple functions in a single solution (and even single physical device, usually a blade system), under a single management facility (a policy server) presents a great value to the operators, vs. implementing a standalone device for each function.

Of course, with today's mobile internet traffic, the system has to sustain much higher volumes than we have seen in the past.
