Real-Time Network Event Processing for 5G & Beyond
Process billions of CDR, mediation, and IoT events with <1ms latency. Elastic auto-scaling for traffic spikes, real-time fraud detection, and 99.999% uptime guarantees.
Telecom Industry Challenges
Legacy mediation platforms can't keep pace with 5G event volumes and modern network complexity
Legacy Batch Mediation
4-6 hour CDR processing delays mean revenue leakage and delayed fraud detection. Real-time billing is impossible with batch windows.
Traffic Spike Overload
Network incidents cause 100× traffic spikes. Legacy systems crash, causing service disruptions and emergency escalations.
Vendor Lock-In
$5M+ migration costs from Comptel, Mediation Zone, and Ericsson Telco DataOps. Proprietary platforms trap you in per-event and per-connector fees. layline.io Enterprise pricing is based on input volume and concurrent engines.
5G Event Complexity
Network slicing, edge computing, and massive IoT volumes create new event types. Legacy systems can't handle modern protocols and data structures.
Fraud Detection Lag
SIM box fraud and IRSF detected hours too late. By the time you notice, millions in revenue have already leaked through international routes.
Scaling Costs
Per-event and per-connector licensing means every new protocol or data source costs $50K-$200K. With layline.io Enterprise, pricing scales by input volume and concurrent engines—so growth stays predictable.
How layline.io Solves Telecom Problems
Real-time stream processing meets carrier-grade reliability
Real-Time Event Streams
Process CDR, mediation, and IoT events with <1ms latency. Stream-based architecture eliminates batch windows for real-time billing and fraud detection.
Elastic Auto-Scaling
Kubernetes-native horizontal scaling handles 100× traffic spikes automatically. No manual intervention during network incidents or peak hours.
Open-Source Freedom
Zero vendor lock-in with code-first workflows. Escape Comptel, Mediation Zone, and Ericsson trap with Python/JavaScript custom logic. Build your own protocol handlers.
5G & IoT Ready
Extensible framework for 5G network slicing, edge computing, and massive IoT mediation. Add custom protocols and formats with code, not expensive vendor consultants.
Complete Event Lineage
Full event sourcing with audit trails for GDPR, lawful intercept, and fraud investigation. Track every CDR transformation in real-time with complete history.
Telecom Use Cases in Production
From classic mediation to cutting-edge 5G orchestration
Mediate 50M IoT Devices in Real-Time
Smart meters, connected vehicles, and industrial sensors generate millions of events per hour. Process, rate, and bill each device event with sub-second latency for real-time usage monitoring.
# Real-time call rating with fraud check
def rate_cdr(cdr):
# Lookup subscriber profile
subscriber = get_subscriber(cdr.msisdn)
# Check fraud patterns
if detect_fraud_pattern(subscriber, cdr):
cdr.flag = "FRAUD_ALERT"
trigger_alert(cdr)
# Calculate charges
cdr.charge = calculate_rate(
duration=cdr.duration,
destination=cdr.called_number,
plan=subscriber.plan
)
# Add metadata
cdr.rated_at = now()
cdr.rating_engine = "v2.3.1"
return cdr
Stop SIM Box Fraud in Seconds, Not Hours
Detect IRSF, SIM box fraud, and subscription fraud patterns in real-time. Stream-based anomaly detection flags suspicious activity before revenue leaks through international routes.
Process TAP3 Files with Zero Revenue Leakage
Build pipelines to mediate roaming CDRs, validate TAP3 format compliance, apply multi-currency rating, and reconcile with partner networks. Complete audit trail for dispute resolution.
Orchestrate Network Slices Dynamically
Process network slicing events for dynamic QoS provisioning. Handle low-latency, high-bandwidth, and massive IoT slices simultaneously with real-time resource allocation.
Europe's largest MVNO and Digital Lifestyle Provider with more than 10 million customers.
At freenet, layline.io integrates numerous high-volume services and databases from private and public cloud.
It has replaced our legacy mission-critical solution with a cloud-native, resilient, scalable and real-time architecture. As a result, we are able to handle massive volume, have become more agile, and have reduced resources by an impressive 75%.
We made layline.io a first-class citizen in our technology stack and are working on further deployments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about layline.io for telecom mediation. Need more details?
Contact our telecom specialistsHow does layline.io handle TAP3 and telecom data formats?
TAP3 and other telecom data formats are fully configurable in layline.io. We provide templates for a wide array of formats (TAP3, ASN.1, CDR variants) that you can customize to match your specific requirements. Build and adapt format handlers with our configuration framework.
Can layline.io scale during emergency traffic spikes?
Yes. Container-native horizontal scaling automatically handles 100× traffic spikes. During network incidents or major events, new processing pods spin up in seconds to handle the load, then scale down when traffic normalizes.
Is layline.io suitable for carrier-grade 99.999% uptime requirements?
Absolutely. Self-healing clusters with automatic failover ensure continuous operation. Distributed processing eliminates single points of failure. Our customers run mission-critical mediation workloads with five-nines reliability.
What happens to CDR batches during processing failures?
layline.io handles transaction processing for batches and chunks of data. If a batch fails during processing, it can be retried or routed to error handling. Persistent state management tracks batch progress to prevent duplicate processing during recovery.
How do we migrate from Comptel, Mediation Zone, or Ericsson?
layline.io's code-first approach gives you full control over migration timing and strategy. Run legacy and layline.io systems in parallel during transition. No vendor lock-in means you can migrate protocols and workflows incrementally without expensive consulting engagements or forced upgrades.
Can we run layline.io in our on-premises telco-grade data centers?
Yes. layline.io runs on any container orchestrator (Kubernetes, Docker Swarm, etc.) in cloud, hybrid, or on-premises environments. Full control over data sovereignty, network segmentation, and security policies for regulated telecom environments.
