Capture and process the right data 
at the right time for new 5G use cases

CSPs need contextually relevant and timely data for accurate billing and insight-driven product design.
5G will help generate masses of information and create a high demand for new charging models and innovative use cases,
beyond the standard CSP services of today.

DigitalRoute MediationZone™, also known as the Usage Data Platform, helps you to collect and validate real-time data from your
5G and legacy network and IT infrastructure, by handling the complexities of data integration and data processing from
any source relevant to traditional mediation and 5G monetization.

Charging function (CHF) - the bridge between your billing systems and the network

The CHF is seen as a service provider to the network and as such it needs additional functions to be able to provide the relevant charging services. These functions are:

- The rating function (RF) that determines the value of the network resource usage

- The account balance management function (ABMF) which is the repository of the subscriber’s account balance

- The charging gateway function (CGF) acting as a gateway between the 5G network and the billing domain (BD)

DigitalRoute’s Usage Data Platform offers a vendor-agnostic CHF/CGF layer that breaks down data silos and bridges multiple network generations with any type of charging and billing system.

DigitalRoute & 5G

By using DigitalRoute as a CHF and CGF, any CSP can create a layer between the network, an OCS and IT which is independent of the network equipment provider and from the rest of the IT systems.

Ultimately this allows service providers to grow, modify or replace service infrastructure without impacting revenue management processes relating to data mediation.
