Amdocs Launches PCRF

       
Earlier this week Amdocs had a [soft] launch of a new PCRF product as part of its "Service Monetization and Control Solution" (here).
The new solution "takes advantage of Amdocs Convergent Charging’s advanced event-processing capabilities and adds a comprehensive policy layer to it". See below a nice video explaining the new offering (main character played by one of the Israeli version of "the office" cast).

Sources in the company tell me that the PCRF function has interoperability with Allot and one more DPI vendor.

Additional details on the solution components:

Amdocs Convergent Charging (Turbo Charging) – the latest release of the Amdocs real time charging product .. It is this unique combination that allows Amdocs Convergent Charging (Turbo Charging) to deliver real business value to customers and enable the emergence of new and sophisticated charging schemes.

Amdocs Policy Manager – The policy manager adds the policy and charging rule function (PCRF) capabilities. Its capabilities are based on 3GPP specification but since the Policy Manger is built on Turbo Charging technology, it enables capabilities which is go beyond the current release of 3GPP and can facilitate advanced monetization scenarios

Amdocs SCP & SDP (jNetX) – Amdocs Service Monetization & Control leverages our leading SCP & SDP product as an optional component to the solution: 
  • SCP (Service Control Point) is used to enable monetization scenarios which require both Data control and Voice/SMS control via
     
  • SDP (Service Delivery Platform) is used for advanced network interaction scenarios as well as a smart gateway scenarios when required to interact with external elements in application domain and external SPR.
