The Amdocs Home Subscriber Server (HSS) is the master repository for subscriber profiles, device profiles, and state information. As a mandatory control plane function in the Long Term Evolution (LTE) Evolved Packet Core (EPC), the HSS manages subscriber identities, service profiles, authentication, authorization, and Quality of Service (QoS) for LTE and IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) networks.
Fully compliant with the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Release 8 standard, the HSS provides support for LTE interworking with non-3GPP networks, and leverages the rich data management capabilities of Amdocs' Subscriber Data Broker™ to support subscriber and device identity management, service profile management, static/dynamic QoS management, and state and usage tracking.
Why the Amdocs Home Subscriber Server?
- Sophisticated subscriber, device, and service management capabilities.
- Proven interoperability with all major network equipment vendors.
- Leverage and protect investments in existing Home Location Registers (HLR) for voice and SMS services because HSS provides data federation from HLR and other data repositories.
- Field-proven in live LTE production environments supporting LTE services, thereby derisking deployment plans.
- Proven in benchmark performance testing as validated at the Light Reading megatest in 2010.
- Part of a complete pre-integrated 4G intelligent broadband controls solution that includes Amdocs Policy Controller (PCRF) and Amdocs Subscriber Data Broker.
- Choice in flexible deployment options; including the Amdocs EPC 500 control plane in a box, network systems, or software-only variants.
