3 Scandinavia Selects Aptilo Networks for 3G and LTE Service Delivery
For Rapid Time-to-Market of New Services
STOCKHOLM and LONDON, January 17, 2012/PRNewswire/ --
Aptilo Networks, a leading provider of systems to manage mobile data servicesfor
Wi-Fi, WiMAX and 3G/LTE networks, including mobile data offloading, announced today that
Aptilo's Policy Manager solution has been selected by 3 Scandinavia as the core component
for their 3G and LTE (4G) mobile broadband service delivery.

The Aptilo Policy Manager goes beyond the scope of a standard PCRF (Policy Charging
and Rules Function) with the addition ofa built-in repository for subscriber data and
policy definitions as well aspolicy-based IPconfiguration and routing control.The system
is designed to be flexible to allow 3 Scandinavia to add unique, dynamic service
configurationsthatcan be constantly modified according to the needs of their customers,
with minimal cost and effort.
"Aptilo demonstrated a thorough understanding of our needs within the policy and IP
management domains. Their innovative approach and flexibility will allow us to keep on
delivering a multitude of data services effectively to our customers," said Jorgen
Askeroth, CTO, 3 Scandinavia. "Aptilo's track record of overall responsibility also
ensures quality operations of the delivered solution."
The Aptilo Policy Manager is built on the new Aptilo Service Management Platform(TM)
ALE architecture in which functionality is divided into three distinct layers: amanagement
layerfor configuration and monitoring, a control layer for protocol-level interactions
with external systems and an execution layerfor application logic processing.
The different layers can be distributed over several industry-standard hardware server
nodes to increase capacity where it is needed most and obtain high availability including
geographic redundancy and distribution.
The control layer runs a number of protocol adapters that facilitate interoperability
with the required set of external systems. These protocol adapters include RADIUS,
Diameter, BGP (Border Gateway Protocol), SOAP/XML and SNMP.New adapters are introduced as
needed to implement new or modified relationships with external systems.
The policy decisions made in the execution layer - according to rule sets designed and
configured by the operator - are based on a combination of data received from a
configurable set of external provisioning systems, real-time data received from the
production network and the accumulated status of ongoing sessions. It then triggers
actions toward external systems such as packet core gateways and DPI (Deep Packet
Inspection)nodes to enforce the policy decisions.
The highly flexible architecture, both in terms of adding new interfaces and protocols
as well as new business logic by the means of a simple configuration, makes the Aptilo
Policy Manager ideal for mobile broadband operations where rapid time-to-market of new
services is critical.
The Aptilo Policy Manager allows the operator to exercise detailed control over the
flow of traffic as well as the amount of resources that are allocated to and consumed by
end-users.
"We did not want to come to market as just another PCRF. That is why we added
subscriber management, highly flexible protocol adaptors, policy-based IP configuration
and routing control to our Policy Manager. We call this advanced functionality PCRF+,"
said Torbjorn Ward, CEO, Aptilo Networks. "Furthermore, as our Policy Manager is built on
the Aptilo Service Management platform, it can easily be expanded with additional
functions such as portal management and charging."
