Bridgewater Service Controller - Revenue Collector and Formatter
An optional module of the Bridgewater® Service Controller, the Revenue Collector and Formatter captures, formats, and processes subscriber usage data across multiple access technologies to support bottom-line revenue and post-paid charging needs.
To ensure timely, accurate billing and revenue realization, service providers need to provide subscriber session records to third party billing and settlement systems in a format that these systems can handle.
Revenue Collector and Formatter correlates and aggregates event-based accounting data into single-session records that identify subscribers and their usage. It then filters, formats, and streams these records to external billing systems, providing an affordable alternative to custom or mediation-based solutions.
