Amdocs 5G Value Plane

5G Value Plane components

Amdocs implementation of the 5G Value Plane is comprised of Openet cloud-native Converged Policy Control & Charging (PCC), integrated with CatalogONE spanning across BSS-OSS layers.

Build 5G service with CatalogONE

To enable the agility to rapidly develop, launch, manage and monetize new offers, 5G policy and charging functions in the Value Plane need to be integrated to the service catalog in existing and evolving BSS stacks, as well as to the wider 5G network.

CatalogONE empowers business users to independently create and launch new digital offerings for both the consumer and enterprise business, in just minutes. They can configure new products and services, pricing, SLAs, channels, segments, and more, without any code.

Deliver and Monetize 5G services with Openet PCC – Policy and Charging Control

Policy and Charging have often been considered separately within the operator environment. With 5G, policy is no longer just a network control mechanism but a means to build and deliver 5G services. With its integration to more powerful 5G charging, it enables different offers with different network characteristics to have different pricing and charging rules, as well as appropriate SLAs.

Having CatalogONE integrated with PCC empowers our 5G value plane to act as a centralized “5G brain” across business, IT and network.

The 5G Value Plane also encompasses capabilities in areas of in depth network analytics via NWDAF, and 5G API exposure via NEF.
