The collaboration history and challenge - Crnogorski Telekom and Logate
Crnogorski Telekom is the company where Logate initially developed its OpenProvider AAA platform, in 1998, in C language, to serve the needs of the dial-up and ADSL services at that
time. As the services evolved so has the platform. In 2009. its internal architecture was completely changed with the introduction of Service Management Engine (SME) and Open Function, which simplified product configuration and runtime modification. In 2009. OpenProvider was already protocol and vendor agnostic. From the start, the platform was also designed to run in a virtual environment.
In 2012. the system was further upgraded by replacing the underlying RADIUS server with
FreeRADIUS server for protocol related functions and OpenProvider Policing engine for implementing business and policy rules, subscriber and session management. In this version
OpenProvider includes EAP with all subtypes integrated. This version also included Transparent Auto Login (TAL) functionality and extended RADIUS Proxy policing with Forwarding Authorization, Accounting, CoA and PoD packets.
Finally, the product was upgraded once more as vAAA version (VNF) that was developed in
accordance with ISG NFV ETSI standards and 3GPP standards. Designed to be deployed on
Telco Cloud environment (virtualized infrastructure) where TOSCA MANO orchestrator is
present. It was released in 2017 and maintained and upgraded since.
