The Torres Admission Control Server is an authentication, authorization and accounting (AAA) server that enables provisioning of subscriber entitlements and works with a Policy Control Server to facilitate dynamic policy enforcement. Torres' Admission Control Server provides accounting triggers to the Rating & Charging Server and generates CDRs. Admission Control Server can also be deployed in proxy server mode to improve security and reliability. It supports RADIUS, DIAMETER and other standard authentication mechanisms and also provides triggers to Rating & Charging Servers for CDR generation

.

The Torres Rating and Charging server provides a user-friendly environment for service providers to deliver innovative and value added services. It offers transparent access to WiFi and Femtocell networks in multi-access mobile or converged service deployments. As part of a Policy Control solution, Admission Control Server is a powerful tool to help operators deliver quality service to their subscribers in an easy-to-manage environment. These functions enable fast, efficient and secure access to data networks and services, including transparent access to WiFi and Femtocell networks in multi-access deployments. These are key to improving the subscriber experience and supporting data services growth. The Torres Admission Control Server provides the flexible underlying access control infrastructure required to support carrier-grade performance and scalability of mobile data services.

Torres Admission Control Server supports stringent requirements for fixed and mobile wireless networks, including automatic provisioning of new users over the air, and is a multi-access solution - for WLAN interworking, data offload. Torres Admission Control Server uses Oracle or MySQL database, provides real-time session management and allows extensive API support reduces internal development time and costs. This eases the deployment and reduces time to market by cutting deployment time from months to days. Torres Subscriber database eliminates the need to re-provision subscribers as new networks are introduced, and accelerates time to market for new services. It provides seamless migration of services from legacy offerings to next generation services.
