more than 60 countries.
Selected by premier technology partners such
as Alcatel-Lucent, Cisco and HP, Aptilo has
become the provider of choice to manage and
deliver highly secure broadband data services.
From smaller initial installations to large carrier
networks and deployments with some of the
world’s largest Fortune 500 companies,
Aptilo’s cost-efficient solution for wireless
service management and delivery provides a
rapid time-to-market while flexibly supporting
future network and service expansion.
One common scalable back-end
Aptilo’s multi-service architecture provides a
single, scalable platform to meet the needs for:
3G/LTE and Mobile Data Offloading to Wi-Fi
WiMAX
Carrier-Class Wi-Fi (hotspots), wireless mesh
Guest Internet Access, providing temporary
Internet access to visitors and guests
Fixed broadband (such as prepaid xDSL)
Software license or Cloud Services
Aptilo’s solutions are sold as software licenses running on standard servers.
In addition,
Aptilo offers customers the convenience of a
hosted solution via Aptilo Managed Service.
This cloud service is ideal for companies wanting
to swiftly deploy a wireless service management
solution without burdening IT
and network support staff or being
distracted from their core business.
It is hosted from one of Aptilo’s
global
network operation centers (NOCs).
Alternatively Aptilo’s experts can
manage the Aptilo-systems
remotely from servers located in
the customer’s own NOC. Aptilo is
the only vendor in its field that offers
cloud services globally.
Customer Segments
The versatile and scalable Aptilo Networks
service management system has found an important
role in a variety of different business segments:
Service Providers offering post- and prepaid broadband
data services over IP-based networks such as
fixed broadband, 3G/LTE, WiMAX, Wi-Fi and wireless
mesh. The Aptilo system supports transparent service
delivery independent of the type of access technology
used and will thus provide a simple migration path
between for instance WiMAX and LTE.
Aptilo’s Mobile Data Offloading solution makes offloading
to Wi-Fi seamless both for the subscriber and the mobile core. It provides
a Carrier-Class Wi-Fi service management system, multiple authentication
methods including SIM-based authentication and innovative integration
with the mobile core and OSS/BSS for policy control and charging.
Aptilo’s Policy & Charging solution goes beyond the scope of a standard
3GPP PCRF, it features optional pre-integrated functions for prepaid data
balance and policy based IP-assignment and routing. We call it PCRF+.
Municipalities and cities extending their “corporate” data network to
outdoor locations to provide better coverage and enable various costand
efficiency-improving services to their employees and service contractors,
as well as offering wireless Internet access to the public.
Enterprises with a need to provide controlled and secure temporary
Internet access to visitors and guests throughout their offices and campuses.
The hosted Aptilo Guest Internet Services is designed to work
seamlessly with the infrastructure typically found in large corporations
such as those with the Cisco WLC and Aruba architecture and can also
be delivered as software. We also have extensive experience with vertical
industries like Travel & Transportation, Healthcare and Hospitality businesses
that want to offer paid or free Internet access to their guests.

Pre-integrated solution
To manage services in wireless networks,
integration of several different subsystems is
required. These subsystems perform critical
functions such as Authentication, Authorization
and Accounting (AAA), policy management
(PCRF), subscriber management, postpaid
billing, prepaid billing, voucher management,
provisioning, customer portals, captive
portals, service portals, mobility management
and more. These subsystems frequently come
from different vendors, which often leads to
significant time and money spent for the operator
in the procurement, integration and
maintenance processes. This can have a negative
impact on time-to-revenue and time-tolaunch
of the service.
In addition to the important pre-integrated functionality for fast and
reliable time-to-market, there is a fully flexible modularity and many
native interfaces to integrate to external systems of choice instead of
utilizing Aptilo’s optional subsystem modules.
Aptilo products
The Aptilo Service Management Platform (SMP) is a feature-rich, carrierclass
and multi-access (3G/LTE, Wi-Fi, WiMAX, fixed) back-end system,
the core node in Aptilo’s solution.
The Aptilo Access Controller (AC) securely communicates with the
service platforms and controls Wi-Fi access and Quality of Service (QoS)
among other features. Although Aptilo SMP is optimized to work with
the Aptilo AC it also works well with all leading third party gateways.
The Aptilo Service Portal (SPA) is a separate node in the Aptilo solution
architecture for monitoring, generating statistics and reporting. The Aptilo
Service Portal features secure and tailored access to the correct subset
of information for different user groups, such as administrators and
customer support through dedicated Venue Portals.
The Aptilo SIM Authentication Server provides EAP-SIM/AKA
(SIM/USIM-based) authentication for Wi-Fi users based on the information
retrieved from the HLR or HSS in the mobile core.
The Aptilo Policy & Charging Server, we call it PCRF+, is designed for
working well in a distributed policy environment. It features three
optional pre-integrated modules for prepaid data balance, policy based
IP-assignment and policy based routing control via BGP.
