Huawei has dominated the global communications service provider (CSP) billing market for the mediation segment, and continues to outdistance the overall market in terms of year-over-year growth. In addition to this, it ranks among the leaders in every segment of CSP billing. It offers a full complement of billing, policy, customer and partner management solutions that span all segments of CSP billing. Most of the functionality modules that define Huawei's billing solution are contained within the Huawei Convergent Billing Solution (CBS), including the Huawei Mediation module.

Huawei Mediation delivers convergent mediation capabilities that support any service, on any network. Designed for ease of configuration and management, it includes pre-built interfaces, templates and a web-based configuration platform to simplify integration with new network elements, services and downstream systems. Huawei Mediation is built on a rules-based engine that allows configuration of any step in the end-to-end mediation processing flow. It boasts centralized operations management for monitoring, dealing with exceptions and reporting.

"The intensely competitive global CSP billing market has more than 100 suppliers worldwide," said Troy Morley, Operations, Orchestration, Data Analytics & Monetization (ODAM) Strategy Analyst at Stratecast | Frost & Sullivan. "Topping a market that is already served by 50 suppliers mediation functionality is impressive in itself; even more remarkable is achieving that feat three assessments in a row. Furthermore, Huawei has increased its market share from 20% to 22% since the last assessment."

In the months to come, Stratecast expects Huawei to continue growing by augmenting its core solution strengths in every segment of billing, including mediation.
