2 HP OpenCall Application and Integrator Reference Guide – 2007

How to use 

this document 

This reference guide lists applications and system Integrators available 

on the HP OpenCall platform. HP OpenCall is HP’s premiere 

multi-media communication software platform and just one of the 

many assets that HP can offer the service provider community. These 

applications are developed by market-leading partners to take 

advantage of the HP OpenCall technology to deliver robust, carriergrade 

service offerings. Some of these applications are available 

through HP and some are available through the partner. The resale 

model is dependent on the application, the partner and the region 

of the world. Not all applications are available in all geographies. 

Solutions listed in this guide under the “HP” name represent value-added 

offerings that may be available through HP. Where available, these solution 

offerings include HP OpenCall software, HP hardware, HP support services 

and integration expertise delivered by HP Professional Services. Products from 

independent software vendors (ISVs) may also be available through HP. 

Contact your HP sales representative to learn more about the HP solution 

offerings available in your area. 

Services identified by their partner brand are developed on the HP OpenCall 

platform and are available from the partner. HP sells and supports the HP 

OpenCall software and HP hardware directly from HP. Sales of the partner 

application is independent of HP and of HP integration and support services 

however, implementation services may be available from the partner or from an 

independent system integrator. 

The third-party products in this application portfolio are presented strictly for informational purposes, not 

as an endorsement or recommendation. HP is not responsible for the performance of these third-party products and has no liability 

for the customer’s use of these products. The product manufacturers have provided all specifications and descriptions. All agreements,

Charging 

As the communications landscape continues its tumultuous evolution, service providers 

(SPs) are recognizing the critical need to implement a robust and flexible charging component 

within a consolidated business support system (BSS). The same technological 

breakthroughs which offer SPs exciting new revenue streams through expanded service 

offerings present daunting and often insurmountable challenges to legacy billing systems. 

Further, a wave of mergers and acquisitions has left big SPs with redundant and inefficient 

BSS architectures that restrict their ability to compete in the time-critical communications 

marketplace. 

Maximizing the ability to compete is the driving force behind the HP OpenCall 

Charging solutions. 

Based on industry-leading IT technology and the unmatched global experience of HP 

and our solution partners, the HP charging solutions provide SPs with the capability to 

handle unified tariff plans, bundle service offerings with multiple and mixed charging 

options, and rapidly introduce, monitor and bill for customized services that fit the way 

consumers live, work and play. It also enables SPs to offer a vast array of pre-paid and 

post-paid voice, SMS (short message service), data and content services, while reducing 

the complexity and costs of achieving operational control. 

With reduced operational complexity, new services can be more rapidly implemented 

for faster return on investment (ROI). Resources-human, financial and infrastructure- can 

be optimized and costs controlled. In a highly competitive market where margins are 

slim, that can be the difference between thriving and merely surviving.

Connectivity 

Works with: 


SS7 Signaling 

Platform 


Tru64 operating 

systems 


The DMP is a powerful platform that terminates messages directly to applications 

(P2A) or to the end user (A2P). Mobile originated (MO) messages are 

directly sent to an application, whereas mobile terminated (MT) messages are 

directly delivered to the handset. The P2A feature enables connectivity to 

dynamic SMS-based applications from any mobile network throughout the 

world, so that users can easily send messages directly to an application. The 

existing SMSC retry schema can be reused if necessary, or optionally the Store 

and Forward (S&F) feature can be added. With DMP, all cases A2P 

(Application to People) and P2A (People to Application) can be covered with 

no impact on the existing SMSC. For high volume broadcast services such as 

interactive voting, entertainment and gaming our High Speed Bulk Messaging 

(HSB) module can be added on top of the DMP. 

Key features 

• Highly available, scalable, resilient solution for processing both application centric as 

well as person-to-person messages 

• The DMP serves as a central messaging hub with a single interface for applications, 

supporting protocols such as SMPP, UCP, CIMD2, XML, etc. 

• Statistically about 80-90 percent of all messages can be terminated directly (no storeand-forward 

or retries required) 

• Designed as application-centric on an open architecture-allows future functionality 

enhancements and gives operators greater flexibility to manage applications 

• Serves as a service control point in the SS7 network, uses today's mobile network technology 

and provides a cost-effective growth plan. 


• Reduces messaging costs by directly terminating messages through off-loading SMSC. 

• Drives up application-based revenues 

• Provides increased flexibility for message routing and handling 

• Increases customer loyalty by offering new services 

• For bulk messaging, the DMP off-loads the operator's SMSC. The DMP enables additional 

capacity for high-peak, high-volume traffic (e.g. TV voting) 

• Differentiates service offerings from your competitors and capture a significant part of 

the corporate messaging market.

NGSA is a Front-End (OpenCall) Back-End (Kabira AS) architecture that allows 

fast deployment of IN services in conjunction with legacy infrastructure. The 

front-end is connected to the switching network through SS7. It controls the 

requests and passes them to the back-end where the services are executed and 

chained (a service could be fully managed locally or it could also involve some 

"external" resources such as HP OpenCall Media Platform, a legacy IN 

Prepaid, and so on). The use of OpenCall as a front-end gives the connectivity 

richness necessary to interconnect with any operator multi-vendor network. 

Moreover, because Call control is automatically managed in the front-end, the 

developer only takes care of the pure service logic running in the back-end, 

and of the interactions between services and with legacy network elements. 

Therefore, services are easily and quickly developed, tested and deployed, 

which allows a fast and cost effective time to market.

Works with: 



Controller 




A Service Provider for Austrian Banks needed to offer dynamic IN services for 

calls made to bank employees (or call center agents) of Austrian financial institutions. 

Specifically developed for high availability environments, this service uses 

entries in number translation tables to route calls to two physically separate 

destination sites at the same time (for example, call centers or branches), thus 

ensuring location redundancy. Leveraging HP OpenCall plus Oracle replication 

technology, this service provides the data redundancy required by the customer. 

Key features 

• Origination Dependent Routing (ODR). Calls made to a nationwide (free) 

call number will be connected to each recipient (for example, local call centers) 

based on their calling area. 

• Time Dependent Routing (TDR) allows routing of calls to alternative destination 

numbers according to the date, day of the week, and/or clock time. 

• The Play Announcements (PA) allows the business customer to play a single 

announcement either during a call flow or at the end of the call flow. 


• Only one free call number needs to be announced (for example, by a financial 

institution). Therefore a single number can be linked to an advertisement 

in newspapers, magazines or on the TV. 

• Companies (such as banks) and their customers can greatly reduce communication 

costs by receiving calls at the closest branch from the calling area. 

• Connection points can be changed depending on the receiving schedule, 

including holidays, in a flexible way. 

• The customer does not need to invest in complete IVR and/or announcement 

systems. Announcements are instead supported by the solution.

Subscriber data management 

Subscriber Data 

Management 

In the midst of relentless change in the communications industry, it is clear that one of the most crucial 

decisions that service providers will have to make is how to manage concerns how their subscriber 

data -- the lifeblood of their network. 

The risks of distributing subscriber data too widely on too many platforms are many; formation of 

data silos escalating operations costs, problems with data synchronization. Not only do you experience 

these problems but it becomes increasingly difficult to introduce new services. Place all your 

data on a single platform that can't scale, that isn't absolutely always available or that doesn't have 

the manageability to accommodate rapid change in real time, and you can seriously compromise 

your network operation. 

The technology challenges in integrated Subscriber Data Management (SDM) are significant, but, as 

experienced by many of the world's top Service Providers, HP has proven SDM platforms and solutions 

that allow dramatic consolidation while enabling rapid subscriber growth. 

HP's OpenCall Home Location Register (HLR) and Authentication Center (AuC) are used by more 

than 35 mobile operators across 55 countries. They rely on the no-compromise, fully- fault-tolerant 

design to handle handset authentication, subscriber entitlements and call routing functions for 200 

million subscribers. Some of these Service Providers have consolidated from as many as four different 

HLR vendors across multiple sites down to a handful of HP OpenCall HLR nodes located in as few as 

two 2 operations facilities. 

Fifteen years of leadership and experience in SDM keeps HP at the forefront of innovation. HP's 

OpenCall HLR and OpenCall HSS solutions incorporate Dynamic Data Manager (DDM) technology. 

DDM provides open-standards based interfaces for collection, distribution and synchronization of subscriber 

data between all network entities, whether they be next-generation IMS or older legacy elements. 

Both OpenCall HLR and OpenCall HSS can co-reside on the new Itanium based Integrity 

NonStop Server for unprecedented subscriber densities, performance, reliability and scalability. 

HP innovation is also essential in enabling new multi-modal, person-to-person communication applications 

such as Push to Conference, Presence and Text/Voice Instant Messaging. These applications 

involve very complex subscriber group management functions that, if not handled well, can significantly 

limit service performance and functionality. HP's elegantly designed OpenCall XML Document 

Management Server (XDMS) provides the kind of simplicity and flexibility of group membership data 

management that leaves other similar product offerings well behind. 

DDM, Integrity NonStop, and XDMS are just a few examples of the kind of breakthrough technology 

that HP incorporates into its SDM solutions. It is leadership ingredients like these that drive the operations 

streamlining, cost savings and service innovation that customers have come to expect from HP 

and HP partner SDM solutions.
