IntelliNet Technologies Successfully Participates in DIAMETER Interoperability Event
 

Leading Communication Solution Providers Gather at Milestone Event

MELBOURNE, FL - (May 3, 2006) – IntelliNet Technologies, a leading provider of convergence technology for wireless, wireline and IP networks, today announced its successful participation in the interoperability testing of the Diameter Protocol with 3GPP-IMS application support, held in Mount Laurel, NJ from April 24-28, 2006.  The multi-vendor event was driven by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) AAA-Working Group. IntelliNet tested its recently announced Accelero™ DIAMETER product interworking with a number of IMS products from the world’s top communications vendors.

The Diameter protocol provides the critical functions of Authentication, Authorization and Accounting (AAA), the framework for applications requiring subscriber access, charging and policy control in 3G IP Multi-Media Subsystem (IMS) networks.

“IntelliNet’s participation in this interoperability event clearly demonstrates our commitment to provide a carrier class Diameter product,” said Anjan Ghosal, president and CEO of IntelliNet Technologies. “Accelero™ DIAMETER combined with a highly experienced support team and a multi-tier licensing and maintenance program provides the optimum path for equipment vendors and application developers wanting to participate in the IMS market.”

IntelliNet’s Accelero™ DIAMETER combines the Diameter base protocol with a rapid application software development platform designed for creating core IMS network elements or seamlessly porting legacy applications over to the IMS architecture.  This enhanced version incorporates carrier-grade reliability, fault-tolerant redundancy and interface extensions critical for subscriber access, service roaming and billing functions.

Interoperability testing for Diameter is a significant milestone. Unlike SIP, which has been exposed to various plug-fests and bake-offs, Diameter is only now gaining prominence after the adoption of IMS by 3GPP. The goal of the interoperability testing was to enable vendors supplying solutions based on Diameter to test their products in a standardized environment and to rigorously test the protocol and its applications in a controlled setting.

IntelliNet reported that Accelero™ DIAMETER is commercially available now and that several companies have already begun using the IntelliNet product in the development of their IMS products.
