TOKYO, Feb 25, 2022 - (JCN Newswire) - NEC Corporation (TSE: 6701) today announced it has enhanced its Converged Core by launching a containerized Charging Gateway Function (CGF). This new Network Function (NF) provides significant flexibility in processing increasingly complex billing information, while also enabling mobile network operators (MNOs) to efficiently launch new charging models. This new flexible billing capability frees MNOs from legacy usage-based systems and allows for monetization strategies that closely match a specific use case.

5G networks are expected to provide end-users with various types of services built on enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB), Massive Machine Type Communications (mMTC) and Ultra-Reliable Low Latency Communications (URLLC). While a legacy billing model, such as flat-rate or usage-based billing, may fit for eMMB services, it will become inadequate as mMTC and URLLC services come to life in the coming years. For example, a Quality of Service model would be more suitable for a URLLC, with quality guarantees with discounts based on Service Level Agreements. mMTC billings, on the other hand, should be based on the number of concurrent connections for IoT devices, such as connected home appliances.

The CGF advanced billing capability is the latest addition to a suite of solutions called NEC Open Networks. NEC is leveraging its rich history of innovation in network architecture and telecommunications to lead our industry's transition to Open RAN for 5G. NEC's broad suite of solutions in this area is second to none, featuring disaggregated RAN components, xHaul transport, Core Networks, Operations Automation and professional Systems Integration - all enhanced by cloud-native accessibility and performance. Wireless operators can rely on NEC Open Networks to realize the real-world benefits of truly open 5G networks -- flexibility, improved speed of innovation and independence from proprietary solutions while taking advantage of the global accessibility and scalability of the cloud.

"This CGF functionality prepares our customers for the increased complexity they're likely to face as networks continue to support a growing number of connected devices," said Patrick Lopez, VP of Product Management for 5G Products, NEC. "Operators can feel free to make the best business decision when rolling out new services knowing that they have creative, nimble options in capturing revenues for those services."

NEC CGF is an NF that resides between the Converged Core and the billing system, helping MNOs improve their time to market with new solutions without modifying existing billing systems. This flexibility also provides the crucial ability to tailor billing to the diversified needs and requirements of each user. In addition, the fully cloud-native, containerized architecture of NEC Converged Core NFs, now including CGF, provides 5G networks with high scalability and resiliency.

NEC will be presenting its industry leading NEC Open Networks at MWC Barcelona 2022, at Fira Gran Via, Hall 2 2F10.

Microservices has become the default architecture for many companies. By breaking down large codebases into smaller pieces, microservices empower engineers to ship code faster. Continuous integration, the process of constantly folding new code into production (live on the website or service), further accelerates the software velocity.

There’s a cost to this speed: coordination. Engineers developing microservices work with the ground shifting underneath them all the time. An engineer building a new microservice that enables up-selling customers relies on other software written by teammates. The upsell service might use three services: customer identity, billing, and feature flags to update the CRM with an upsell, increase billing, and flip on the new features using LaunchDarkly.

During the course of a day or week, any of those three dependencies might evolve and break the upsell microservice. Each team operates relatively independently. Because the upsell microservice is under development, no regression tests exist to ensure changes don’t break the upsell functionality.

The ideal solution is to develop in production, but developing in production is risky. An engineer might delete customer data or unwittingly interfere with other bits of the codebase.

Signadot enables developers to code in production safely. Signadot enables engineers to write microservices code in production while isolating the network and the database - sandboxing the microservice. This is the best of both worlds. The upsell microservice uses the latest code from peers and the core infrastructure is safe.

Most saliently, Signadot is founded by a cloud-native team. Arjun & Anirudh, the co-founders of Signadot have deep infrastructure experience. Arjun was the Senior Director of Engineering at AppDynamics and grew the BusinessIQ division to $100m in ARR, and Anirudh is a key contributor to Kubernetes.

Signadot sandboxes are lightweight and Kube-native. They don’t require retooling the code or the infrastructure the way other solutions might, which means sandboxes can be adopted quickly and easily.

We’re thrilled to partner with Signadot. The company is growing quickly and looking to hire people passionate to build the next layer in the shift-left movement,

Sony’s slowly increasingly the capabilities of the PS App on iOS and Android smartphones, with its Game Capture functionality becoming available in more territories, following a trial in Canada and Japan. Beginning with the Americas – don’t worry Europe, more regions will follow imminently – you’ll soon be able to access your PS5 screenshots and videos on your phone.

You’ll need to enable the feature by going to Settings > Captures > Auto-Upload on your PS5, but once turned on all of your screenshots and videos will be accessible on your phone. You’ll have a 14-day window from the creation date of your content to download the media to your phone, and of course from there you can share on social media as you please.
