SYSTEM ENGINEERING
The Alcatel-Lucent 5780 Dynamic Services Control (DSC) is a platform based on Agile Rules Technology (A.R.T.) that
allows service providers to deploy services quickly and easily with high performance, scalability, flexibility, and
maintainability. Agile Rules Technology offers service providers an unmatched combination of ease-of-use, flexibility,
scalable performance and maintainability. The Alcatel-Lucent Agile Rules Technology (A.R.T.) was designed to
combine the benefits of general-purpose and hard-coded rules engines, without any of their drawbacks. A.R.T.
specifically models the call flow and data requirements of a fundamental set of use cases that represent key business
models. Examples of these requirements are usage management, application control and intelligent traffic
management. Read More
With its Policy Control Module, the 5780 DSC provides the Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF) for 3G/4G
wireless networks and for wireline access. With this module, service providers can deliver innovative and personalized
services to monetize their networks in compliance with the 3GPP Policy Control and Charging (PCC) architecture. This
module extends policy control into fixed access by offering a RADIUS interface to the Broadband Network Gateway
(BNG) and the Broadband Remote Access Server (BRAS). Read More

For better visibility and control of Wi-Fi access, the 5780 DSC offers the Wi-Fi Control Module based on the 3GPP
ANDSF specification.With these capabilities, service providers can intelligently make decisions about which Wi-Fi
access options are best suited to a subscriber at a specific location, based on criteria such as service entitlements. As a
result, the service provider can establish policies that execute seamless, secure and uninterrupted handover between
3G/4G and Wi-Fi. Read More
To enable the service provider to create contextual, segmented, and personalized data offers while supporting user
controls to simplify the mobile data experience, the 5780 DSC offers the Smart Plan Builder as part of the Smart Plan
Solution.Smart Plan Builder creates personalized services and contextual offers, and processes them easily in real-time
with broad flexibility and scalable performance. To act as a cross-network hub, Smart Plan Builder connects to the
related network elements for the defined use cases through a unique plugin framework. What’s more, Smart Plan
Builder offers RESTful APIs to interact with Smart Plan mobile apps that can be customized to the specific business
goals of the service provider. Read More
To help service providers better manage the rapid increase in control plane traffic, the 5780 DSC offers the Diameter
Control Point, which comprises a complete suite of Diameter routing capabilities. The Diameter Control Point (DCP)
supports the following Diameter interfaces: Gx, Rx, S9, S6a, S6d, Cx, Dx, Sh and Gy, and it extends support for any
additional Diameter interface based on a configurable descriptor file added to the system. Read More
