 Summa Networks, the market specialist in Subscribers, Policy, Identity and Connectivity management solutions, has announced a new release of its NextGen HSS which allows carriers to manage their subscribers seamlessly between 2G, 3G, 4G and 5G networks.

Summa Networks NextGen HSS was launched as a solution which already included a fully featured LTE HSS, IMS HSS and HLR from a single software suite. The product has seen several evolutions during the years to even better fit the requirements of mobile operators, MVNOs, MVNEs and companies working in the IoT, M2M and automotive sector.

Summa Networks now offers a Converged and Extended Control Plane which includes not only an interoperable HLR, HSS and SDM software suite, but also other mobile core network elements such as AAA, PCRF and PCF.

Summa Networks new NextGen HSS version includes:

Comprehensive MMTEL functionality, to share the settings of supplementary services (such as voicemail) between 3G and 4G, improving customer experience by allowing seamless phone features regardless of the network.

Multi-IMSI/MSISDN for VoLTE (Unified management of Public User Identities). This feature allows users to have different identities using the same device or SIM card.

Enhanced network access security using GUSS (GBA User Security Settings via Zh for BSF), to implement Generic Authentication Architecture (GAA) described in ETSI TS 33.220 standard.

Extended compliance with 3GPP Release 13 to 15 by implementing the protocols relevant for IoT, specially:

S6t (connection to SCEF), S6m (connection to IWF), S6n (connection to AAA) for IoT MTC

S6c for SMS over IP

Improved architecture for scalability up to tenths of millions active subscribers

“These evolutions are possible thanks to the fact that our software was developed from scratch so we have full control of our product roadmap. This allows us to deliver high quality software at a very fast pace, so our customers can enjoy new features without undesirable delays,” says Oscar Perez, CTO of Summa Networks. “Our team is also putting constant effort on QA, for which we are able to issue quality software versions with no regression.”

Javier Martin, CEO of Summa Networks, said: “Our continuous roadmap evolution reflects our commitment to providing cutting-edge technology to our customers, always driven by 3GPP and ETSI standards. The most remarkable result is that most features come from current customers’ needs and requests, which demonstrates our successful strategy of open roadmap and collaboration. The product enhancements and added scalability confirm its suitability for operators of all sizes.”

Japan – NEC Expands Open Networks Portfolio with 18 New O-RAN Radios

Feb 25, 2022 | Business

NEC Corporation (NEC; TSE: 6701) has dramatically expanded its open RAN Radio Units (O-RUs) portfolio with the introduction of several new products and configurations. These 18 new Radio Units help NEC maintain its leadership position in the O-RU segment as ORAN deployments gain momentum globally. The new RU products complement NEC?s existing portfolio to help meet the demands of private and public mobile networks that will drive Open RAN initiatives forward this year.

These launches add new configurations (4T4R, 8T8R, 32T32R, 64T64R) to NEC?s industry-leading portfolio of massive MIMO radios. All the new configurations are built on modular platforms, allowing fast time to market and adaptation to customer-specific needs. For instance, the majority of the new RUs are available in 5G NR and 4G LTE with dual-band versions for the most popular band combinations. Network operators will benefit from several technological advancements, including natural convection cooling, high performance digital beamforming, small volume and weight and aggressive cost-efficiency.

Patrick Lopez, NEC’s global VP for product management 5G, commented, “NEC has been at the forefront of Open RAN and massive MIMO deployments at scale in commercial urban environments. These additions to our portfolio, featuring new configurations and bands, enable us to address the overall RAN market. This is a great advancement for NEC Open Networks, our radically open approach to deliver an end-to-end portfolio of products and services, within an open multivendor ecosystem, that allows operators to pick and choose options fitting their needs and strategic objectives.”

Operators around the globe are accelerating 5G deployments to enhance coverage and network capacity in a wide range of environments, including dense, urban areas with high-rises, urban locations with mid-rise structures, rural areas, broadband hot-spots and enterprises.

Customers are looking towards Open RAN as a game-changing alternative to the closed architecture of incumbent equipment suppliers. NEC has taken an active role in driving the need for Open RAN solutions, incorporating superior radio architecture design with cost and power efficiency and using state-of-the-art silicon and RF components to achieve a smaller form factor with modular design.

NEC will be presenting its industry leading NEC Open Networks at MWC Barcelona 2022, at Fira Gran Via, Hall 2 2F10

Scientology Network’s International Overdose Awareness Day Marathon Aims for Prevention Through Education

Aug 24, 2021 | Business

 On August 31st, Scientology Network will mark International Overdose Awareness Day with a full day of relevant programming. The marathon is dedicated to raising awareness on the true dangers of drugs to reverse the rising tide of drug overdoses.

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently announced that year-over-year drug overdose deaths rose by nearly 30 percent in 2020, the biggest increase in over 20 years. With that, the importance of educating children and adults with lifesaving information is more critical than ever before.

As part of an ongoing global and multifaceted approach to raising awareness on the true dangers of drugs, Scientology Network is airing a special marathon of shows. Featured are individuals and organizations using the Drug-Free World campaign in their fight against drugs. Viewers will see how they bring the realities of drug abuse to the streets, the schools and communities around the world.

The day’s programming (beginning 8 a.m. PT) includes:

-Voices for Humanity, the only ongoing television series dedicated to those working in the streets, schools and communities to combat drugs and other major social ills;

-PSAs to raise awareness of the dangers of drug use; and

-The Truth About Drugs documentary, a powerful and comprehensive look into the true dangers of drugs—from marijuana, opioids and synthetic street drugs to the addictive pharmaceuticals marketed with slick Madison Avenue advertising campaigns.

See the full schedule at scientology.tv/schedule.

The Scientology Network debuted on March 12, 2018. Since launching, the Scientology Network has been viewed in 240 countries and territories worldwide in 17 languages. Satisfying the curiosity of people about Scientology, the network takes viewers across six continents, spotlighting the everyday lives of Scientologists; showing the Church as a global organization; and presenting its social betterment programs that have touched the lives of millions worldwide. The network also showcases documentaries by Independent filmmakers who represent a cross section of cultures and faiths, but share a common purpose of uplifting communities.
