Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between online and offline charging?
Online charging (also known as credit-control) is used for prepaid services where funds are deducted in real-time before or during service usage. Offline charging is typically used for post-paid services where usage is recorded and billed later.
What does 'converged' mean in this context?
Converged rating and charging means the platform can handle billing logic and charging processes for multiple network generations (like 4G and 5G) and service types within a single system.
Is this license tied to specific hardware?
This is a platform software license. While it runs on Cisco infrastructure, the license itself is for the software capabilities and subscriber capacity, not tied to a specific hardware model number in this description.
