NextGen HSS, Our TADHacked solution - Javier Martin, Summa Networks
- 1. Introducing the Next Generation HSS-HLR Affordable, complete, carrier-grade, software-based (NFV)
- 2. A little story of disruption
- 5. But then TadHackers come in (guerrilla) The Agile Telecom Manifesto Changing the game in Telecoms Rules and principles •Happy customers over contracts •Service fitting over strict roadmaps •Pay as you grow over «extract all I can» •Open roadmap for collaboration The Agile Telecom Manifesto Invented two nights ago over pizza (and beers)
- 6. Factors for a new era Development techniques Software eating Telco Hardware prices falling apart Cloud services Is it not better to play nice? CARRIER PROVIDER
- 7. Summa Networks story… Voiceworks, MVNO in the Netherlands and now in Germany Almira Labs, experts in JAIN SLEE development Working together successfuly for six years Voiceworks CEO, Tekelec replacement Question asked. Can you build an HLR/HSS? Answer: YES. Promised at TADSummit and Telestax 2015 Project started June 2015 October 2015: HSS for LTE February 2016: HSS for IMS September 2016: HLR fully compliant to 3GPP R12 Small team using JAIN-SLEE and our own development framework
- 9. Shortcomings of HSS solutions currently available Too costly • Big vendor market with expensive products • Focused on tier-1 operators (> 1 million subscribers) • Upgrade/migration from HLR to HSS involves high license cost, platform swaps etc. First generation, not designed for multi-play, NFV, agility Only basic IMS applications supported Non-transparent on features, CR’s, expansion prices Separate implementations/products for HLR and HSS No flexibility for smaller operators and MVNO’s Limited options for virtualization or cloud deployment High-quality, carrier-grade alternatives are not available 9
- 10. NextGen HSS Opportunity in the Telecom Market • HLR / HSS market unstable. Tekelec, Oracle, Huawei… • Classical players slow movers, no skills, old models • IoT, M2M, Automotive… changing networks needs and models Summa Networks • Build industry-leading cloud-based HSS/HLR solution • Become the preferred solution for MVNOs, MNEs and M2M/IoT carrier networks • Be one of the pillars of the Cloud Telecom carrier, which will happen within the next… X years?
- 11. Product functions 1. The Long Term Evolution-Home Subscriber Server (LTE-HSS) serves as the primary database repository of subscriber information within Evolved Packet Core (EPC). 2. Home Subscriber Server function in IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS-HSS), serves as the central subscriber database for Next Generation IP and GSM networks. 3. The Home Location Register (HLR), serves as the primary database repository of subscriber information within GSM/GPRS networks. Fully compliant data-model with 3GPP Release 12
- 12. GoToMarket HSS LTE/IMS + HLR in the same system • Same DB, Seamless migration and growth Joint Venture • JAIN-SLEE development • Voiceworks early adopter and expertise • External sales channels: Broadforward, Datatronics, CAP Gemini… Flexible software • Pay once, get all software, SUS to control TCO • No overfeatured, no overcharged • An HSS for everyone, from MVNOs to Tier-1 • Roadmap open for customers Professional services on top • Additional services • VAS
- 13. In short… - 3GPP compliant HLR / HSS - Release 12 - Release 13 being implemented - We will update as releases are public
- 15. Carrier-grade, scalable Deployable in load balancing and active/active paired configuration combined with geo-redundancy, which offers high availability and reliability Database-level synchronization and replication adds a layer of protection to ensure data integrity State replication from node to node to recover from a server loss. Transaction management to ensure consistency across all nodes in case of failure Automatic scalability using JainSlee features
- 16. Reference customer: Voiceworks (Netherlands) Voiceworks: leading provider of mobile telephony, fixed telephony and data solutions for the B2B market in the Netherlands & Germany Tekelec HLR + Huawei HLR >50k subscribers (business/premium market), growing >30% each year >30k subscribers in Germany 16 “…In a traditional market with big vendors and expensive products, this is the first time I see a Next Generation HSS providing a complete set of HSS and HLR features in combination with an affordable price…” CEO Voiceworks, Stijn Nijhuis

- 24. Final word…
- 25. Old Spanish Joke… Imagine I told you the truth about our NextGen HSS… Your truth: We did this with a 25 engineers team… Contest: If you guess budget and team size… get a TapasTour!
- 26. Long live to Tad Hacking! Are you ready to cope with the new truth? TAD Hacking means: Feasible for any Telecom system Much lower investment needed, less intensive in developers when using the right tools Better extensibility, Easier maintenance New pricing dynamics Taking advantage of Cloud economies of Scale Expanded market reach into new areas : Automotive, IoT, M2M, the telco for non-telcos, dynamic SIM allocation Having fun! «It is not software eating Telecom, but TadHacking weaving the new InternetCom» Javier Martin, 2016 TAD Summit, Lisbon.
