AVARating is a high performance rating engine which enables VoIP carriers and ISP providers to deploy their own in-house real time prepaid and postpaid billing and settlement solutions. It is a standalone multithreaded server application which will accept authorization and CDR requests and will return rated results based on pre-loaded set of rating tables and custom charge or reverse formulas. AVARating allows provisioning of theoretically unrestricted number of rate plans and rates – the limits being available hardware resources. It has been proven to provide high transaction throughput and low TCO in most challenging environments.
