[Update 27 - Sandvine Announces 4 PCRF Partners] PCRF - DPI Compatibility Matrix

Sandvine announced that "it has completed interoperability testing of its Policy Traffic Switch (PTS) with Alcatel Lucent, Intracom Holdings, Redknee, and Tekelec's Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF) platforms. In January, Sandvine and Openet demonstrated operability via a joint customer win. Earlier this quarter, Sandvine had announced interoperability with Bridgewater Systems' PCRF".

See "Sandvine Announces Interoperability With Four Partners" - here.

My last PCRF-DPI compatibility table already has an indication for interoperability between Sandvine and Redknee and Tekelec - and I am adding ALU now. Intracom is not yet on my table.

"Sandvine's network policy control solutions include:

• Scalable quota management based on subscriber entitlements using optimized rules-based Gx interface between Policy and Charging Enforcement Function (PCEF) and PCRF network elements
• Fair usage policies that allocate network resources among subscribers using flexible real-time policy control and advise subscribers of actual usage as policy thresholds are exceeded
• Enforcement of parental controls for limiting children's Internet usage based on time-of-day, application, and duration
• Unified policies to support subscriber mobility across converged fixed/mobile access networks. "
