Salt Mobile SA uses Radiator for their Diameter interfaces
Swiss mobile operator Salt Mobile SA (Salt), one of the top operators in Switzerland, has been using Radiator Policy and Charging Pack since late 2020 for their 2 million customers. The use case in Salt has evolved from initial use of Radiator Enterprise Pack to the use of Radiator Policy and Charging Pack.
The flexibility of Radiator licensing models has provided cost-efficient, step-by-step licensing where additional modules have been added when needed.
Salt has been using Radiator products for several years. Nowadays, Salt uses Policy and Charging Pack for the charging and accounting of their customers' pre-paid and post-paid plans. Radiator Telco Pack provides the Diameter Gy and Gx interfaces specified by the 3GPP to implement this:
“We use Radiator for our DATA and SMS real-time charging (using Gy Diameter protocol). It sits between our core network elements (SMSC/GGSN) and our online charging system. All our DATA and SMS traffic (national and roaming ) is controlled using this flow. On top of that we use the control function (Gx) to apply throttling on the DATA flow for roaming.”
