2024: Inclusion in the Register of Russian Software

Nexign (Nexine) on November 28, 2024 announced the inclusion of a line of products for monetizing and optimizing the effectiveness of 5G SA networks in the Unified Register of Domestic Software. It includes Nexign 5G Charging System (CCS) for charging, Nexign 5G Policy Control Function (PCF) for policy management, and Nexign Service Communication Proxy (SCP) and Nexign Network Repository Function (NRF) for routing signaling traffic in 5G SA networks.

According to the company, the Nexign product line optimizes the return on investment from the deployment of 5G autonomous networks. The operator receives tools to support innovative charging schemes based on network segmentation (slicing) and deep quality of service control. Thus, communication packets with differentiated connection parameters can be offered - depending on the client's need for network bandwidth and the level of permissible delay. This model is most in demand in the business segment, which, according to analysts, will become the leading source of revenue growth in next-generation networks. Also, as of November 2024, one of the current scenarios is the use of Nexign products in 5G NTN (Non-Terrestrial Networks) networks to provide wireless broadband access (broadband access) services based on low-orbit satellite constellations. In addition, operators will have the opportunity to expand their services based on fixed wireless access (FWA) in autonomous 5G networks. For example, they will be able to offer dynamic pricing rates based on data transfer rate or sell dedicated network segments for customer tasks.

In 2024, interest in 5G networks remains quite high both in the world and in Russia: 629 billion rubles are allocated for the construction of 5G networks, and by 2030 it is planned to install at least 106 thousand base stations, which will provide 5G communication about 25% of the country's population. Also, by 2028, it is planned to create infrastructure for 5G networks in Russian cities with a population of more than 1 million inhabitants, and by 2030 - in cities with a population of 500 thousand people.

The advantage of 5G networks is in their service, more open architecture, the ability to choose best-of-breed solutions. Our latest experience with Nexign products for 5G networks confirms operators' willingness to make networks more open and convergent. For example, in 2024, we completed a pilot project to implement Nexign Converged Charging for 4G/5G networks for an operator in Uzbekistan, where our Nexign CCS product effectively interacts with the multi-vendor environment of the 5G network core from other vendors. told Sergey Sosin, head of the Nexign product management group

Nexign solutions reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) with performance and significantly reduce hardware requirements. In addition, they are not inferior to foreign counterparts in reliability, configurability and performance and can be used in Tier-1 and Tier-2 operator networks. Nexign's converged product line for monetization and optimization of network efficiency provides unified and seamless management of charging, policies, and signaling traffic routing across 3G, 4G, and 5G communication generations. With its help, mobile operators will be able to optimize the architecture of the network core and reduce the cost of managing multi-generation networks.

Network engineers and administrators can manage the lifecycle of Nexign network functions, as well as configure scenarios for their operation in a single Nexign Network Management System (NMS) with a convenient graphical interface. Depending on the adopted network architecture strategy, the operator can choose the Nexign deployment environment. It can be either physical servers or any virtualization environment: virtualized network functions (VNF) or containers in private and public clouds ( CNF). All products are designed according to 3GPP and ETSI international specifications and TM Forum guidelines .

2023: Nexign CCS, Nexign PCF, Nexign SCP and Nexign NRF product line launches

On April 11, 2023, the company, Nexign a supplier of BSS systems and solutions for business digitalization, announced the launch of a line of products for monetizations and effective management of SA 5G networks (Standalone). It includes the Nexign 5G Charging System (CCS),,, and. Nexign 5G Policy Control Function (PCF) Nexign Service Communication Proxy (SCP) Nexign Network Repository Function (NRF) The use of the full line allows you to support charging, control politicians routings and signaling traffic functions for the 5G SA generation. communications All products presented in the line are designed in accordance with the international specifications 3GPP and ETSI and with recommendations.

GSMA Intelligence estimates the number of 5G users will double by 2025 to reach two billion. Kompnia is witnessing the rapid adoption of 5G technologies in the world, significantly faster than previous generations of 3G and 4G. As of January 2023, there were 229 commercial 5G networks worldwide, and more than 30 countries are planning to launch 5G networks in 2024, 15 of which will support 5G SA. In Russia, there is an acute lack of ready-made and high-quality domestic solutions for 5G networks, both in the field of base stations and in the field of the backbone network. Nexign solutions have been supporting various monetization scenarios for 5G networks in NSA (Non-Standalone) mode for several years, and pilot projects of 5G SA are expected to be held in Russia and the CIS in 2023 with a commercial launch in 2024. Nexign is pleased to announce the launch of the next generation 5G SA network monetization product line, commented Sergey Sosin, Head of Product Management at Nexign.

Nexign CCS and Nexign PCF allow fast implementation of complex business scenarios and innovative ones services based on the features of 5G networks: improved (mobile broadband eMBB), mass machine-to-machine communication (mMTC) and ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC). They contribute to the monetization of B2B services, including in scenarios production using dedicated commercial networks (5G private network) and. Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) The products also support monetization of B2C services, including VoNR, cloudy gaming and Ultra-HD. mobile streaming Nexign CCS and Nexign PCF give operators full and flexible control over service parameters for customers and partners, including QoS management capabilities based on slicing and service agreement level (). SLA Operators receive tools that analyze any technical parameters of services, and can choose how they are charged for a specific client.

Nexign SCP and Nexign NRF help simplify topology and increase transparency of large distributed 5G networks, reduce support costs, and develop network infrastructure. Nexign SCP serves as a single control center for message routing and load balancing between 5G core functions. The product optimizes the costs of configuration and development of the signaling network by centrally configuring nodes and ensuring consistent interaction of network components from different manufacturers. At the same time, Nexign NRF acts as a repository of network functions in the 5G network and provides centralized registration and detection of any network functions.

This Nexign product line for monetization and efficient 5G network management provides scalability for dynamic business growth. It is suitable for use by Tier-1 operators due to the full availability of the network and georeservation of any network functions. Products presented in the line can be deployed in both private and public clouds.
