Next Generation HLR

The Blueslice ngHLR 3000™ serves as the mission-critical function for Subscriber Data Management in GSM/GPRS/UMTS and LTE networks. The Blueslice ngHLR 3000™ offers sophisticated functionality, carrier-grade performance, and unparalleled scalability that far exceeds current market offerings. With an open, non-proprietary platform, the ngHLR 3000™ is changing the HLR paradigm for mobile service providers.

Highest Subscriber Density

The ngHLR 3000™ offers a compact and large capacity Home Location Register with an integrated Authentication Center. With a capacity scalable to several million subscribers within a single 12U shelf, and over 40 million active within a telecom rack, the Blueslice ngHLR 3000™ enables service providers to grow their networks without the need to invest in expensive and proprietary legacy equipment. The small footprint reduces the immediate operating costs for central office floor space, and the high energy efficiency further drives significant cost savings.

Innovative Feature Set

The Blueslice ngHLR 3000™ powers unique features such as advanced low cost roaming solutions, HLR-based Fixed Mobile Convergence, SIP interfaces for VoWiFi-GSM mediation, and a Pay-as-You-Grow pricing scheme. For example, the SIP HLR Interworking feature of the ngHLR 3000™, specifically tailored for next generation mobile service providers, enables low-cost VoIP softswitches to query the HLR directly using SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) methods or XML operations, as would a MAP-enabled G-MSC.

Easy System Administration

Operation and maintenance of the system is achieved through the interactive Web 2.0 interface, that supports user-friendly Web Craft Interface for real-time system provisioning, monitoring, and maintenance. Additionally, the system can be operated through the CLI interface for management and provisioning. The system integrates with the operator's own operation and maintenance center and provisioning (OAM&P) system, achieved through XML/SOAP schemas. Instead of managing disparate subscriber profiles in different entities, consolidating subscriber profiles across all access networks drives unmatched network management simplicity. The combination of a small footprint and a simplified OAM&P system drives unprecedented OPEX reductions.
