Aradial Technologies and Oasis Deploy RADIUS AAA and Policy Controller at 012 Smile Communications
The Solution Enhances 012 Smile Network's Reliability and Scalability to Address the Service Provider's Growth
TORONTO, Canada, April 28, 2010-- Aradial (http://www.aradial.com), a global provider of AAA,
billing, user management and policy control solutions for IP service
providers (including WiMAX, broadband ADSL, mobile 3G data, Wi-Fi, VoIP,
cable and IPTV), today announced that 012 Smile Communications (NASDAQ:
SMLC), a leading Israeli service provider, successfully deployed Aradial's
RADIUS AAA and policy controller to create a scalable and redundant
IP-services platform that replaces the operators existing system, which was
not capable of stably handling the growing load.
In a joint implementation with Oasis Communication Technologies,
a system integrator that engages in the design, implementation and
maintenance of highly complex telecommunications systems, Aradial implemented
its RADIUS AAA and policy controller in two sites for disaster recovery, each
running two redundant Aradial servers for business continuity. The servers in
each site run in active/active configuration serving all network elements in
the 012 Smile network.
"As one of Israel's leading communication service providers, we needed a
solution that would work well with each of the multiple-vendor systems in our
network," said Boaz Lowenstein, 012 Smile System Manager. "We are a very
growth-oriented company, constantly introducing new services into new market
segments, and we needed a solution that would handle the specific features of
all the routers, switches and other devices in our network. We found Aradial
and Oasis-Tech to be excellent partners in the implementation, and Aradial's
RADIUS AAA server is proving to be a flexible and scalable solution that
supports our policy of continued growth."
"We were very happy to have been awarded this project by 012 Smile," said
Tomer Sharon, Oasis' VP Marketing. "As a unique system integrator involved in
the telecommunications market with a long list of installations, we took
ownership of the entire project from preliminary negotiations, through the
sale of the solution, to managing the account and providing first-level
support. In line with our approach of cooperating with partners to provide
top solutions that are reliable, flexible and cost effective, we were very
pleased with our cooperation with Aradial, which implemented the system to
012 Smile's full satisfaction."
"This deployment demonstrates, once more, the powerful capabilities of
Aradial to serve virtually any system on the market today," said Yishai
Levanoni, Aradial's Chief Technology Officer. "In 012 Smile, Aradial
interfaces with over 300 network access servers (NAS), including multiple
Redback SmartEdge devices, Juniper's JRX, and Cisco's BRAS and SSG. We have
also replaced multiple Juniper Steel Belted and Cisco CAR AAA servers with
only two Aradial AAA nodes. The Aradial RADIUS AAA and policy controller is
serving one million ADSL, dialup and cable subscribers, enforcing an average
of 500,000 concurrent sessions in real time. A true achievement in no
uncertain terms."
