RAD Data Communications 2009 Catalog
With the evolution of Internet telephony,
incumbent, alternative carriers and ISPs are all
offering low cost, high quality VoIP services to
enterprise and residential customers. A powerful
billing system is essential to capitalize on growing
VoIP revenues.
IPVsuite-Billing, part of the RAD VoIP System (RVS),
provides a comprehensive solution for postpaid
and prepaid billing of SIP VoIP services. It is
perfectly suited for fast deployment of advanced
phone-to-phone, PC-to-phone and PC-to-PC
services. The solution enables the provider to
rapidly deploy competitive new services and rating
plans.
Pay-as-you-grow
IPVsuite-Billing is a highly scalable system,
designed according to the “pay-as-you-grow”
model. This enables the provider to launch a VoIP
operation with a reasonable budget, ensuring that
operational costs are proportional to revenues,
while enabling expansion of licenses and hardware
with growth.
Advanced account management
The real-time interaction of the SIP application
server with the network elements enables
IPVsuite-Billing to control the call and cut it off as
the customer’s balance bottoms out, preventing
leakage and securing the ROI.
For postpaid customers, comprehensive invoicing,
account receivables and collection capabilities are
part of the solution, supporting residential,
enterprise and SMB business models.

User-friendly Web interface
The IPVsuite-Billing’s Web interfaces provide up-
to-the-minute account information for both the
subscribers and customer service representatives
(CSRs). Using the WebClient application, CSRs
can easily create, search and modify accounts,
view account activities, balances and invoices,
and manage support tickets.
Customers are able to manage their own
accounts, register to new services, and make
payments online through Web-based self-care
interface. Calling card customers can change
their PIN numbers and top-up their balance via
the Web or over the phone using an IVR system.
Full billing capabilities, including invoice
generation and shipment, account receivables
(A/R) management, collection, and general
ledger (G/L) interfaces with accounting systems,
are inherent to the solution.
Invoicing
IPVsuite-Billing gives providers the possibility to
spread the billing and invoicing of the client
base throughout the month, ensuring a steady
flow of revenue. Multiple billing cycles can be
predefined and assigned to customers according
to company policy. In addition, the system gives
providers the possibility to personalize invoices
by adding logos, taglines and special offers
within the invoice, with the invoice layout
options.
