A-PGW
Wire-speed performance for accelerated traffic processing
Our two-phase flow-based processing model enables full-DPI classification backed by fast-path forwarding – maintaining latency for established flows.
Identify applications and encryption
WTL’s solution identifies more than 450 application protocols – achieved, on average, in 10ms. This means you can apply policies almost instantly and detect encrypted traffic via behavioural flow analysis – giving you full control.
Create and enforce policies
By tracking individual sessions and applications consumed, you can build tailored policies to match traffic demands, backed by differential charging and plans – so you can precisely tune your network and control performance. Easily define categories so you can group applications and enforce policies that align with the needs of your business and customers.
3GPP dynamic policy control
Assign and manage rating groups and time/volume-based quotas to enable dynamic charging and policy control, in real-time and to ensure compliance.
Create and manage offers
You can easily build new packages and offers for the duration you need. This allows you to target individual users, events or even locations with packages that deliver specific capabilities matched to service demand and user context.
Track consumption and demand
With WTL’s solution, you can easily track consumption so you can determine the success of your offers and retune to match real-world demand and experience. Move users from one tier to another, target high consumers and tailor your promotions to drive adoption – and use insights to ensure effective capacity management and planning.
Carrier Grade Network Address Translation
Protect your IPv4 assets with a single public IP address for your connected mobile devices with dynamic configuration and session management.
Scale cost-effectively
Easily add new user and IoT devices, routers and more to your network without deploying or purchasing unique IPv4 addresses. WTL’s integrated CGNAT solution provides effortless scale as you grow your connected device ecosystem.
Protect users and ensure regulatory compliance
End-device IP addresses are effectively concealed, ensuring that your network meets mobile security best-practice requirements. The logs and records captured mean you can comply with regulatory requests and investigative procedures to track illicit or suspicious activities. WTL’s integrated solution consolidates key functions for ease of management.
Converged charging and management
WTL’s solution combines online, offline and hybrid charging capabilities, giving you maximum flexibility from a single platform.
Implement any pricing plan
Build custom charging packages with real-time credit and billing control, seamlessly integrated with your charging systems. The integrated solution simplifies management of new packages, accelerating time to market and helping you target emerging opportunities.
Control user and session access
With WTL, you can instantly restrict access or initiate balance updates, providing full control for classic and new services. Zero rate or limit services, introduce new QoS-based packages and much more – complete control over your service portfolio and monetisation policies, protecting revenue and capturing new income streams for all users and partners.
Understand service performance
Building and evolving a winning proposition depends on insights. WTL’s integrated solution gives you granular data to drive optimisation.
Comprehensive assurance
Track all services and how they are consumed to evaluate success and enhance KPIs – for all service categories and for different user groups, such as VIPs and slice-based offers. Combine insights across platform and integrate with your assurance tools to enable dynamic control.
Drive better investments
Insights help you focus on winning services and identify candidates for promotion or even retirement. By understanding user consumption and tracking access, you can ensure QoS is delivered effectively and make the right investment choices for network upgrades and capacity management, in the right locations. WTL gives you the insights you need.

Frequently Asked Questions: Advanced PGW & UPF
FAQs
Yes, our innovative approach provides visibility of more than 450 protocols, allowing you to group and categorise applications. Armed with this knowledge, you can implement the service access, performance and charging rules you need.
Separating these functions introduces latency and reduces application processing performance. With advanced services, even the slightest reduction in speed can have a significant impact on your SLAs. So, we combine these functions to accelerate processing – and reduce your management overheads, as you don’t need to integrate or manage separate silos and platforms.
Absolutely. Our solution spans all generations, so you can leverage the enhanced performance and cloud-native architecture today – and simply add 5G when you are ready, because it’s already equipped with the 3GPP compliant interfaces and capabilities you’ll need.
No. Our solution is engineered for reliability and offers full load balancing – and no single point of failure, at every layer. Redundant paths are provided for all critical traffic flows.
We continuously provide updates to track new releases to ensure you stay ahead of evolving applications and across different categories.
The platform offers linear scalability with deployment options to match your subscriber base and needs. We review your network and traffic profiles before recommending the initial configuration and hardware requirements – and then track capacity so you can plan for growth as you need it.
Anything from slice-based service delivery and management to revenue analytics, video traffic throttling, application-specific and zero-rated bundles. The solution gives you the flexibility to choose, execute and manage any policies you like that support your business needs and offers.
