Home subscriber service (HSS)

It is essential to find a vendor with a complete state-of-the-art solution that offers flexible licensing models when you want to have your own HSS and HLR system. Nomios Group offers this solution through next-generation HSS. The carrier-grade HSS/ HLR software allows seamless migration and interworking which delivers significant feature and cost advantages over traditional products to both small and large service providers.

Best-of-breed HSS/HLR and avoiding the vendor trap

The HSS and HLR suite comprises an HSS LTE, an HSS IMS and an HLR in the same software product. The database is shared to allow seamless interworking between systems, avoiding expensive and cumbersome data migration processes when your business evolves. All basic features are part of the software license including roaming controls and EIR.

With the complete software license model you will never go unnecessarily over-featured and/or overcharged, and you will never find yourself in a vendor trap where product evolutions cost you twice the initial price.

Single software solution for NG HSS, HLR, AuC, EIR and SLF

The Next Generation Home Subscriber Server (NG HSS) is a solution for GSM, UMTS, LTE, IMS, Wi-Fi and M2M networks. The NG HSS is suited for the MVNO/MVNE and M2M market. Designed to overcome the limitations and disadvantages of traditional HSS products regarding flexibility, virtualization, cost of scaling and vendor lock-in, it supports multiple technologies and functions in a single software design:

• Home Subscriber Server (HSS) for LTE Data
• Home Subscriber Server (HSS) for IMS Voice
• Home Location Register (HLR) and Authentication Center (AuC) for 2G/3G
• Equipment Identity Register (EIR)
• Subscriber Location Function (SLF)
• Multi-protocol interworking (SS7, Diameter, RADIUS, IT protocols)

Cloud ready carrier-grade technology

NextGen HSS and HLR ensures scalability and carrier-grade performance. HSS and HLR incorporates NFV/SDN principles. It can be installed both on-premise and in a cloud environment in multi-tenancy mode. Therefore, it can be a solution for both telecom operators and MVNOs and other industries wanting to have their own network, such as automotive companies, VoLTE in a Box, IoT networks, and M2M.

Well-suited for IoT Networks and flexible licensing

Next-Generation HSS is a software-based solution that evolves with new industry standards and protocols. It is compliant with 3GPP Release 12 and will continue to evolve and support newer releases in the future, without additional cost.

Thanks to the unique features the product is especially well-suited to IoT networks. Its licensing flexibility with regard to number of users and deployments makes this the right solution for you if you need to deploy a separate network for your M2M or IoT activities.

Nomios Group provides telecom software such as HSS, HLR, EIR. The software is based on best-of-breed development technologies and practices for fast and high quality development to ensure carrier-grade performance. These products can be seamlessly deployed in-house and in cloud environments and are NFV-ready.

Multiple technologies supported by HSS:

HSS supports multiple technologies and functions in a single software design:

• Home Subscriber Server (HSS) for LTE Data
• Home Subscriber Server (HSS) for IMS Voice
• Home Location Register (HLR) and Authentication Center (AuC) for 2G/3G
• Equipment Identity Register (EIR)
• Subscriber Location Function (SLF)
• Multi-protocol interworking (SS7, Diameter, RADIUS, IT protocols)
• The HSS and HLR functions share a single data repository, which provides convergence of subscription-related information (subscriber profiles), authentication, subscriber location and IP information.
