SVI-IWF DIAMETER INTERWORKING FUNCTION

The SVI-IWF Interworking Function insures operators 4G Diameter networks can successfully interconnect to legacy 2G/3G networks, equipment and signalling standards.

Comprehensive Diameter Interconnect

4G network rollout is not uniform. The SVI-IWF Interworking Function enables an operator to seamlessly traverse the hybrid mix of 2G / 3G / 4G network components from multiple vendors, across multiple networks on multiple signalling standards. Without it operators would have to replace all their legacy networks while rolling out LTE.

Enables roaming between 4G and 3G networks
Relieve network congestion with 4G WiFi offload
Enhance and upgrade legacy networks
Full interworking with MAP, CAMEL, RADIUS & USSD signalling
Full interworking with OSS / BSS over SOAP, XML, SQL, JAIN, JSON etc

4G - 3G Roaming

Squire Technologies SVI-IWF Interworking Function enables mobile operators 4G DIAMETER networks to seamlessly inter-op with legacy networks enabling 4G <---> 3G Roaming capabilities.

WiFi Offload

The SVI-Interworking Function enables 4G WiFi or Mobile Data Offloading which allows for further relief of congested networks by way of utilising capacity from unlicensed WiFi spectrum.

Legacy Interconnect

The SVI-IWF insures that mobile operators can integrate existing legacy infrastructure with new DIAMETER based components like Online Charging Systems (OCS), allowing them to maximise value in their legacy networks.

The SVI Interworking Function can be deployed as a standalone item, or as part of Squire Technologies Diameter Signalling Controller the SVI-DSC.

Interworking and Extended Support

The SVI-IWF allows operators to integrate new leading edge OSS / BSS components to their next generation or legacy networks. The flexibility of the SVI-IWF insures operators can confidently extend and advance their operational and business layer services to insure they remain completive.
