[Update 41: Sitronics ActionRuler] PCRF - DPI Compatibility Matrix

       

Sitronics/INTRACOM Telecom PCRF product, ActionRuler, was added to the PCRF/DPI matrix - "an ultra-modern solution for traffic and services control, and policy enforcement. The solution meets all business requirements – creation of payment system and network resources control to the provision of personalized services"

Solution benefits:

• Traffic analysis in real-time mode, together with analysis of subscriber limits and detailed information about the subscriber
   
• With ActionRuler, the real-time traffic management becomes a simple task. Traffic can be prioritized based on specified parameters (service type, subscriber data, access time, resources availability, etc.)
   
• DPI (Deep Packet Inspection) – package analysis technology – allows carriers to optimize utilization of IP resources while significantly reducing backbone expenses. [here]
   
• With ActionRuler, subscribers can access information about available services and options using web and WAP interfaces.
