Vordel and Telecoms
Service-centric approach to mobile and fixed line telecoms
Telecoms Operators gain competitive advantage by rolling out services quickly, and by allowing their partners to innovate on top of the telecoms network. This is the reason why Mobile Network Operators (MNO) and fixed line carriers have championed the adoption of a services centric approach to exposing vital aspects of their infrastructure. This has enabled them to respond to organizational demands to be more agile, customer-oriented and event aware. Everyday real-world examples of this services oriented approach to the IT architecture include:
- Service Delivery Platforms for delivering text message alerting and mobile data services to customers
- Number portability across providers as a result of unbundling of local loops
- Provisioning of end-user customers via retail sales channel by MNOs

Why Choose Vordel?
Performance
Telecoms services make use of XML standards such as Parlay-X and XMPP. It is vital that this traffic is handled without adding latency. Vordel achieves reduced latency and increased throughput levels by offloading XML processing onto the purpose-dedicated Vordel gateway product.
Identity and Trust
Identity and trust are key for telecoms delivery, since usage is ultimately linked back to the identity of the customer for billing purposes. Vordel binds identity information to XML traffic in the telecoms network. This allows for:
- Identity Controls based on existing and new users
- Privacy - provides encryption and signing at field level which allows sensitive information to be selectively encrypted and signed
- Audit Logging - complete audit trail maintained of all transactions
