MaxBill’s New UMTS Module Delivers Advanced
Rating for Next-Generation Communication Services
MaxBill Unveils Sophisticated Rating Solutions for the Evolving
Wireless Content and Commerce Market
Israel – April 2, 2001 – MaxBill Ltd. announced today
the release of MaxRate version 3.3, MaxBill’s powerful stand-alone
rating engine. MaxRate version 3.3 has been benchmarked at high
performance levels and includes an advanced module designed to
rate for UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System). MaxBill
now offers a complete end-to-end customer care and billing solution
for the advanced needs of the next generation of wireless communication.
“We have identified that beyond high performance requirements,
one of the leading challenges in rating for UMTS events and usage
records is the difficulty in managing the complex business relationships
between service providers and their partners, including content
providers, advertisers and network operators,” said Michah
Himmelman, President of MaxBill Ltd. “Our new module includes
a user interface and administration utility through which the
provider can manage the business relationships and scenarios created
by the UMTS environment.”
The flexible management application featured in MaxRate can
process events for parallel charges and can handle multilayered,
hierarchical, content and usage applications. MaxRate version
3.3 can run in real time and has prepaid and post-paid capabilities.
The UMTS module eases interoperability between the MaxRate rating
engine and mediation platforms, where most next-generation usage
definitions are compiled.
MaxBill’s MaxRate has been benchmarked to process CDRs
at a speed of over 30 million in 70 minutes using a 4 CPU processor
server with 2 GB of memory. “The dynamic nature of the information
and services available through mobile commerce and content dramatically
increases the volume of billable records that need processing,”
said Kirill Rechter, MaxBill’s Director of R&D. “MaxRate’s
robust performance capabilities along with the new UMTS module
make it the most effective 3G billing platform available.”
MaxRate’s stand-alone design can operate independently or
as an add-on to legacy systems to support carrier-grade requirements.
MaxBill will be presenting its new UMTS module at IIR’s
Billing Systems 2001 exhibition held April 23 – 26 in London.
MaxBill will be located at booth 95.
