Microsense : Authen5ca5on via SMS Microsense supports authen3ca3on via sms which has become mandatory as
per TRAI regula3ons , while providing wi-‐fi in a public hotspot. Microsense SMS solu3on is the most advanced in the industry Two methodologies are supported: Method 1 • User is requested in the Login Page to send a predefined SMS text to a
predefined Mobile Number (Short Code or Long Code) (Short code for domes3c users and Long Code for Interna3onal and Domes3c users)
• The user is sent an Access Code by Return SMS. • User enters the Access Code in the Login Page and if correct, the User is
granted access
Microsense Authen5ca5on via SMS Method 2: • User is displayed an Access Code in the Login Page • User is requested (in the Login instruc3ons) to send the Access Code to a Pre-‐
defined Mobile Number. • Once the User sends the SMS with the correct access code, user is granted
Access. • Advantage of Method 2 is that it would save considerable SMS costs in the
case of Interna3onal users with Interna3onal Mobile Numbers. Interna3onal SMSs are expensive even for Cellular Operators. If the number of interna3onal users per day runs into thousands such as in airports, the cost savings would be significant
Microsense Mobile –Wi-‐Fi offload solu5on • Smart phones and Mobile enabled terminals have changed the future of the
mobile Internet. 3G Mobile providers worldwide are seeing a surge in data traffic volumes. The surge although not en3rely unexpected, poses serious challenges both technical & commercial.
• Wi-‐Fi or Hotspots could be part of the solu3on to decrease the load of the 3G network, by offloading the surge in data traffic. All smart phones without excep3on have WLAN as a standard feature and most support SIM based authen5ca5on, a crucial feature for enabling seamless mobile-‐to-‐WLAN offload, this is called EAP-‐SIM or EAP-‐AKA authen3ca3on.
The Microsense Wi-‐Fi Offload Solu3on consists of the following components: • AAA • Microsense Converged Billing -‐ ARCB • Smart-‐HLR gateway -‐
Microsense Mobile –Wi-‐Fi offload solu5on (Contd) • The solu3on includes the integra3on with the access point or base sta3on,
metering, ra3ng & charging of mobile data traffic (or integra3ng with an exis3ng billing solu3on) to public & private WiFi networks.
• The ARMWO can integrate in any operator environment, has been built using industry standards such as RADIUS, DIAMETER, SS7, SIGTRAN, LDAP.
The func3onal needs for a Mobile & WLAN network include the following: • Iden3fying & detec3ng secured WLAN signals on mobile phones using access
point or wifi base sta3ons. • ARMWO works with most all access points, access controllers and Wide are
base sta3ons on the market. • Authen3ca3ng and authorizing the mobile phone session over Wifi using SIM
creden3als oNen mixed with other forms of Authen3ca3on, using EAP-‐SIM and EAP-‐AKA authen3ca3on by Aradial AAA server.
• Provision the service on the Wifi WLAN. • Manage the IP alloca3on for the service.
Microsense Mobile –WI-‐Fi offload solu5on (Contd)
• Metering the accoun3ng data of the offloaded session, volume and dura3on. If the operator is not the owner, it will allow seulement.
• Integrate with the operator legacy billing allowing prepaid services. For each session Aradial will call the operator billing to receive the remaining volume and dura3on balance and configure the Wifi access controller.
• Send CDRs to the operator legacy billing system for offline charging (Postpaid or hot-‐billing).
• Mul3 server, clustered 99.999% up3me system architecture • Support horizontal and ver3cal scaling using industry standard solu3ons
Wireless LAN-‐GSM/GPRS Service Internetworking
Solu5on Overview
• The Solu3on enables a SIM enabled Laptop or compu3ng device to access a wireless LAN hotspot via standard Radius /AAA servers
and SS7 plaoorms. • Authen3ca3on is accomplished by implemen3ng EAP-‐SIM or (EAP –AKA) to enable Radius Servers to carry out the challenge
response mechanism.
Solu5on Benefits • Technologies address the security concerns of WLAN devices and allow GSM
Network operators to leverage exis3ng infrastructure to offer high speed data services.
• Subscribers benefit by being able to roam into Wireless LANs while having seamless access to their network –based communica3on services from a single trusted, source.
• The Microsense solu3on addresses WLAN authen3ca3on using GSM MAP interfaces to the HLR and secure delivery of SMS (one 3me passwords) not equipped with SIM card readers.
• Thus the Microsense solu3on is capable of seamlessly integra3ng with the carrier’s exis3ng infrastructure and network
