Fast Intelligent Networks service development and deployment
PROTEI CAMEL Gateway supports a powerful and flexible embedded application development environment. Open APIs (including Parlay) open new opportunities to create innovative services.
Hot Billing
PROTEI CAMEL Gateway supports real-time billing for users in home and roaming networks. Can be configured to connect to any billing system via BRT interface.
Reliability and load balancing
Network architecture and load balancing assure reliability - if a system module reaches a set performance threshold, excess load is routed to a free module. Should any module fail, traffic is automatically redistributed among other modules without any interruption to service.
Horizontal Scalability
Horizontal scalability allows PROTEI CAMEL Gateway to expand as the operator’s network grows. Configuration of additional modules can be automatically synchronized.
Performance
Up to 32 signaling links and 500 TPS (Transactions Per Second) per module.
