Diametriq delivers a unique approach for managing LTE control traffic
April 26, 2012
MELBOURNE, Fla. -- Diametriq, an innovator in Diameter signaling control technologies, was launched today to focus on “Smart Signaling” solutions and meeting the ever increasing signaling traffic demands of 4G/LTE networks. The new company is derived from key assets including executive leadership, engineering, and technologies from IntelliNet Technologies, a wireless networks convergence company.
Diametriq centers on the need to manage and monetize control signal traffic in next generation networks. Control signaling for 4G networks is built around “Diameter,” a protocol that is rapidly replacing SS7 used in older technologies. It has become the de facto signaling standard between gateways, billing systems, subscriber databases and policy controllers. The use cases continue to grow along with the rapid growth of applications used by smart phones and tablets which have created a surge in control signaling traffic. At the same time, it’s not just about more traffic or bandwidth; data sessions from new smart devices in 4G networks commonly generate up to 20 times the amount of signaling traffic compared to legacy networks, placing tremendous stress on core network components.
Anjan Ghosal, CEO of IntelliNet Technologies and a veteran of the telecom industry, successfully spun out IntelliNet’s Mobile Data Offload business last year to Ruckus Wireless of San Jose, California. “Retiring looked like an enviable option,” notes Ghosal. “But the rapidly growing LTE signaling market provided opportunities that I simply could not pass up.”
