What is PortaBilling?
PortaBilling is a carrier-grade Business Support System (BSS) and real-time Online Charging System (OCS) designed for telecommunications service providers, MVNOs, and IoT operators. Acting as the convergent rating and monetization engine, the platform enables service providers to manage subscribers, configure complex rating plans, and automate invoicing across multiple network technologies. It integrates seamlessly with third-party network elements via standard protocols (RADIUS, Diameter, HTTP), providing a single repository for all billing data.
