Team Introduction:
The team supports three products deployed on-premises in mobile operators’ data centers and in the cloud, with installations around the world:
- Product 1: Handles mobile calls, including call forwarding, rejection, and charging.
- Product 2: Handles mobile data sessions, including protocol conversion, session correlation, and network-topology protection.
- Product 3: Sends notifications to subscribers through SMS, email, push notifications, and other protocols based on incoming requests and remote-server availability.
These products are designed for network-intensive communication. They are based on event-driven application servers and handle tens of thousands of operations per second
