As access technologies evolved from dial-up to DSL and to FTTH for wire-line and from 2G to 3G and to 4G for wireless, service providers ends up with multi-access networks for various business reasons. Service providers are then faced with multiple silos for access control and policy management creating barriers to deploy bundled services across all network technologies that would provide a consistent user experience regardless of device and network connection used.
A Unified AAA (Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting) and Policy Manager provides a single platform for access control and policy management for multiple access networks, eliminates the need to maintain the multiple silos, and reduces the overall provisioning costs.
