AfriConnect Zambia Deploys Aradial AAA Enforcer for WiMAX and Internet Services
TORONTO, February 8, 2012/PRNewswire/ --
Aradial (http://www.aradial.com), a global provider of AAA, billing, customer
management and policy control solutions for IP service providers (including WiMAX, Wi-Fi,
ADSL, LTE, VoIP, IPTV and mobile data), today announced that AfriConnect Zambia, an
Internet Solutions Provider in the Vodacom Group of companies, has deployed the Aradial
AAA and Policy Control solution to provide Wimax and future LTE services to the city of
Lusaka and several other major cities in Zambia.
The first phase of the project will see several thousand subscriber terminals
installed in Lusaka, and are expected to expand coverage into additional towns and cities.
Relying on Aradial's AAA and Policy Control for Wimax and internet services, the
solution integrates with Airspan 4G Wimax and other Wimax vendor's gateways to manage the
access from base stations and CPE access and assist in billing the subscribers.
"We are very happy with this project," said Ori Etkovitz, Aradial's CEO. "The Wimax
and internet services product supports bandwidth management, real-time network policy
control and enforcement, all driven by our powerful AAA Enforcer. This breadth of
functionality will further enable the operator to implement volume, time and expiration
enforcement and to extend its current offering to current and future subscribers. As well
there is a clear path to upgrading the operator to Aradial Convergent Billing."
"As a leading communications provider, we are committed to providing our customers
with reliable and affordable services," said Mark Bennett, MD of AfriConnect. "We are
rolling out a 4G network in order to take advantage of the new lower-cost international
fiber bandwidth coming into the country, and considerably increase the number of internet
users in the country. The new solution from Aradial will enable us to exercise full
control over the usage of our WiMAX and LTE very cost effectively, while improving our
subscribers' service experience."
