Camiant's policy server technology integrates with network access gateways (PSDN, GGSN, ASN, etc.) to manage personalizations and entitlements across large-scale WiMAX network environments — meaning users get the content and services they request, while network operators and content providers enjoy security and assurance in the way they conduct business.
Endowing WiMAX networks with quality of service (QoS) performance is a big part of the emerging multimedia, multi-faceted wireless sector — and a big part of what Camiant provides.
But a second key control element also is emerging as WiMAX operators introduce a variety of services and applications that demand user-entitlement management.
One example: enforcing geographic permission boundaries associated with premium content that may be licensed only for a particular country.
To apply these entitlement functionalities, the access gateway needs to communicate with a policy server that knows and can convey rules associated with authorization and entitlement.
