Aradial Converged Billing Software - ARCB - Convergent Billing

In today's dynamic telecom arena, convergent billing is no longer a theoretical concept


but a reality. In a constant struggle to improve their bottom line, operators and service
providers are looking for flexible and configurable solutions that reduce churn and costs.

Following its long tradition of excellence, Aradial introduced advanced Converged Billing
(ARCB), a convergent prepaid and postpaid billing rating and customer-care platform.
With a customer-centric approach, easy-to-use GUI and excellent performance, the
ARCB is ideal for small, medium and large operators and service providers. The new
platform supports open standards and innovative technologies for billing and rating of a
rich basket of services, including Mobile 2G/3G, LTE/4G, 5G, Wi-Fi/Hotspots, ISP, VoIP,
FTTH/DSL, cable, wireless, fixed wireless and more.

ARCB can be deployed either as an end-to-end real-time billing and customer care

and highly available solution that can be rapidly deployed into the IT core and for rapid
introduction of new services and offers.

Rich Functionality in a Cost-Effective Package


ARCB charging, rating and invoicing procedures are very flexible and easy to follow.
Charging and rating are done periodically accordingly to the user's selection, including
one-time charges, allowances and destination charging (for Telephony and VOD).
Invoices are based on an XSL layout and can therefore be easily branded according to
the service provider's look and feel. They can be sent to subscribers by email and/or
printed to PDF. Trouble ticketing and management of the network's black and white lists
are also supported.

The customer management user interface offers a myriad of features so that users can
easily and intuitively enter customer information, search for customers, view customer
sessions and the history of successful and unsuccessful calls, and make time and
monetary adjustments. And ARCB also comes with a dealer/business partner
management module that enables dealers to manage their own users transparently.
