Cisco Quantum Policy Suite for Wi-Fi

Cisco Quantum Policy Suite for Mobile

The Cisco Quantum Policy Suite for Wi-Fi is a carrier-grade policy and subscriber data management software solution that enables service providers to control, monetize, and personalize Wi-Fi offerings on their networks. The solution offers a platform for delivering a variety of new services that take advantage of intelligent Wi-Fi network attributes.

Features and Capabilities

The Cisco Quantum Policy Suite for Wi-Fi offers industry-leading performance, high availability, and disaster recovery. It simplifies the network architecture by using a single subscriber repository that draws from older data sources without conversion or revision.

The solution includes a virtualized policy platform. It provides real-time management of subscriber sessions, applications, and network resources based on service provider-configured business rules and subscriber data management.

With the Cisco Quantum Policy Suite for Wi-Fi, service providers can:

• Rapidly define new service plans using customizable policy building blocks
• Simplify policy control and service catalog management
• Accelerate time to market for new service plans
• Increase revenue through market segmentation
• Improve customer satisfaction with personalized, tiered, and interactive services
• Reduce operating costs

Cisco Quantum Policy Suite for Wi-Fi empowers service providers to quickly deploy value-added use cases such as the following.

Subscriber Authentication and Authorization

• RADIUS and Diameter authentication protocols
• Wireless Internet Service Provider roaming protocol 1.0 and 2.0
• Transparent Automatic Logon (TAL)
• 3GPP-compliant Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF)

Differentiated Services

• Applying policy rules based on the service plan -- such as bandwidth speed, usage limits, number of logins, and more
• Segmenting a subscriber base through service bundles and pricing

Quota and Usage Control

• Creating time and/or usage-limited passes (for example, hour, day, week, and month-long passes)
• Tracking and applying daily, weekly, or monthly billing cycle usage limits
• Applying “pay-as-you-go” top-ups or downgrades when subscribers exceed usage limits
• Controlling roaming overages and reducing customer bill shock

3GPP Mobile Data Offload

This cost-effectively reduces mobile data traffic congestion by offloading traffic through the Wi-Fi network

• 3G Mobile/Long Term Evolution (LTE) integration with Gateway GPRS Support Node/Packet Data Serving Node (GGSN/PDSN) technology, including the Cisco ASR 5000 Evolved Packet Core (EPC)
• Diameter/RADIUS Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) authentication
• Diameter Gx/Gy Policy and Charging Control (PCC) for 3GPP LTE architecture functionality
