Sentori Mediation Gate performs multi-network voice, data
and content mediation for rapid service provisioning and network
data collection. Integrated with Sentori Captivator, the system's
customer acquisition and care module, Sentori Mediation Gate automatically
acts on CSR and customer generated requests, provisioning new or
add-on service directly to the network switch. Sentori Mediation
Gate also collects all usage data from circuit switched or IP networks
so every bit of usage can be seamlessly handed off to Sentori Power
Rate, the systems real-time rating and billing subsystem, for rapid,
accurate rating, and billing. One total solution converts provisioning
to usage, then usage data to revenue-producing invoices.
Sentori Mediation Gate offers these front-line advantages:
Built-In Efficiency
Unlike other billing systems, the Sentori system offers the convenience
of single-source mediation and provisioning. Even more important,
Sentori Mediation Gate integrates both mediation and provisioning
into one solution, streamlining costs and expediting provisioning
and usage-data collection.
Universal Usage Data Capture
Sentori Mediation Gate captures utilization data not just from circuit
switched and IP networks, but from application servers, session
layer data, TCP connections and network services. This multi-layered
approach means usage data from all applications and services are
collected and immediately forwarded to Sentori Power Rate for real-time
rating and billing. Not a second of time is lost.
Maximum Interoperability
Sentori Mediation Gate is handled by the system's Open Mediation
module, which seamlessly interfaces with all major class five PTSN
switches, IP Radius servers, and TCP/IP protocols. Integration with
multiple network elements is easily implemented through APIs.
