The Agile Telecom Manifesto
Changing the game in TelecomsRules and principles •Happy customers over contracts•Service fitting over strict roadmaps•Pay as you grow over «extract all I can»•Open roadmap for collaboration
The Agile Telecom ManifestoInvented two nights ago over pizza (and beers)
Factors for a new eraDevelopment techniquesSoftware eating TelcoHardware prices falling apartCloud services
Is it not better to play nice?

Summa Networks story…
Voiceworks, MVNO in the Netherlands and now in GermanyAlmira Labs, experts in JAIN SLEE developmentWorking together successfuly for six years
Voiceworks CEO, Tekelec replacementQuestion asked. Can you build an HLR/HSS?
Answer: YES. Promised at TADSummit and Telestax 2015
Project started June 2015October 2015: HSS for LTEFebruary 2016: HSS for IMSSeptember 2016: HLR fully compliant to 3GPP R12
Small team using JAIN-SLEE and our own development framework
Summa Networks
Shortcomings of HSS solutions currently available
Too costly• Big vendor market with expensive products• Focused on tier-1 operators (> 1 million subscribers)• Upgrade/migration from HLR to HSS involves high license cost, platform swaps etc.
First generation, not designed for multi-play, NFV, agilityOnly basic IMS applications supportedNon-transparent on features, CR’s, expansion pricesSeparate implementations/products for HLR and HSSNo flexibility for smaller operators and MVNO’s Limited options for virtualization or cloud deploymentHigh-quality, carrier-grade alternatives are not available

NextGen HSS
Opportunity in the Telecom Market• HLR / HSS market unstable. Tekelec, Oracle, Huawei…• Classical players slow movers, no skills, old models• IoT, M2M, Automotive… changing networks needs and models
Summa Networks• Build industry-leading cloud-based HSS/HLR solution • Become the preferred solution for MVNOs, MNEs and M2M/IoT
carrier networks• Be one of the pillars of the Cloud Telecom carrier, which will happen
within the next… X years?
Product functions
1. The Long Term Evolution-Home Subscriber Server (LTE-HSS) serves as the primary database repository of subscriber information within Evolved Packet Core (EPC).
2. Home Subscriber Server function in IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS-HSS), serves as the central subscriber database for Next Generation IP and GSM networks.
3. The Home Location Register (HLR), serves as the primary database repository of subscriber information within GSM/GPRS networks.
Fully compliant data-model with 3GPP Release 12
GoToMarket
HSS LTE/IMS + HLR in the same system• Same DB, Seamless migration and growth
Joint Venture• JAIN-SLEE development• Voiceworks early adopter and expertise• External sales channels: Broadforward, Datatronics, CAP
Gemini…Flexible software
• Pay once, get all software, SUS to control TCO• No overfeatured, no overcharged• An HSS for everyone, from MVNOs to Tier-1• Roadmap open for customers
Professional services on top• Additional services• VAS
In short…
- 3GPP compliant HLR / HSS- Release 12- Release 13 being implemented- We will update as releases are public

Carrier-grade, scalable
Deployable in load balancing and active/active paired configuration combined with geo-redundancy, which offers high availability and reliability
Database-level synchronization and replication adds a layer of protection to ensure data integrity
State replication from node to node to recover from a server loss. Transaction management to ensure consistency across all nodes in case of failure
Automatic scalability using JainSlee features
Reference customer: Voiceworks (Netherlands)
Voiceworks: leading provider of mobile telephony, fixed telephony and data solutions for the B2B market in the Netherlands & GermanyTekelec HLR + Huawei HLR>50k subscribers (business/premium market), growing >30% each year>30k subscribers in Germany

Final word…
Old Spanish Joke…
Imagine I told you the truth about our NextGen HSS…Your truth: We did this with a 25 engineers team…Contest: If you guess budget and team size… get a TapasTour!
Long live to Tad Hacking!Are you ready to cope with the new truth?TAD Hacking means:Feasible for any Telecom systemMuch lower investment needed, less intensive in developers when using the right toolsBetter extensibility, Easier maintenanceNew pricing dynamicsTaking advantage of Cloud economies of ScaleExpanded market reach into new areas : Automotive, IoT, M2M, the telco for non-telcos, dynamic SIM allocationHaving fun!
