Mediation
Control and Audit the Flow of CDRs with a Single System
Usage Data Transformation
The difference between raw data and mediated data is the difference between potential and actual revenue. Before data can be turned into dollars, it must be transformed or enriched for actions such as billing and reporting.
With TeleLink, you can enjoy a comprehensive system that allows you to:
- Mediate CDRs from multiple input files and formats
- Transform data for use by multiple OSS and downstream processes
- Enrich call records with other information
- Filter data according to customer-defined rules
- Audit the flow of CDRs
- Standardize and archive usage data to generate custom reports and perform sophisticated network analysis
Usage Data Collection
Call detail records are the primary data source for many operations support systems (OSS), including fraud detection, billing, traffic analysis, and CABS reconciliation. Before you can use usage records for these purposes, you must first collect them. Our Collector utility establishes connectivity with the switch and collects usage records as they are created. It moves records in real time or batch mode to a network location, where they can be used by other applications, including our TeleLink and Protector solutions.
Collector is an automatic CDR delivery tool that enables you to:
- Deliver usage records in real-time from multiple network points
- Support multiple switch types using standard protocols such as X.25, TCP/IP, and FTP
- Ensure data integrity by way of its built-in verification function, detailed process auditing, and network delivery confirmation
- View real-time status information for each Collector link, record transfer, and generated alert
- Forward collected files across LAN
