Copyright © 2007 Juniper Networks, Inc. Proprietary and Confidentialwww.juniper.net 24 SBR Carrier Pricing 4 different types of SKU’s: SBR Carrier core base server Additional concurrent session licenses Additional optional modules HLR gateways licenses
Copyright © 2007 Juniper Networks, Inc. Proprietary and Confidentialwww.juniper.net 25 SBR Carrier Core SBR Carrier Core server: SBR-CAR-AAA The base server license, representing the SBR Carrier Core functionality. Licensed on a per server basis: Customer needs to purchase 1 license per instance he has running in his network, regardless of the fact those instances are running on separate hardware or within virtual domains on the same hardware. ModelDescriptionPrice SBR-CAR-AAA SBR Carrier Core AAA server license, includes 50,000 concurrent sessions (license key only) $34,900
Copyright © 2007 Juniper Networks, Inc. Proprietary and Confidentialwww.juniper.net 26 SBR Carrier Concurrent User Licenses Additional concurrent user licenses Concurrent sessions for the whole customer site Licensed on a site basis: ordered on top the SBR Carrier Core base model to expand on the number of concurrent sessions licensed in the product (concurrently attached to the network) This is a cumulative license: For example if the customer purchases another 50,000 sessions, the customer is licensed for 100,000 sessions total. The number of sessions are measured as concurrent sessions in the AAA session database. The customer has the right to apply additional concurrent session licenses to all SBR Carrier servers on his site. ModelDescriptionPrice SBR-CAR-ADD-50K SBR Carrier - Add 50,000 concurrent sessions (license key only)$16,000 SBR-CAR-ADD-100K SBR Carrier - Add 100,000 concurrent sessions (license key only)$30,000 SBR-CAR-ADD-250K SBR Carrier - Add 250,000 concurrent sessions (license key only)$70,000 SBR-CAR-ADD-500K SBR Carrier - Add 500,000 concurrent sessions (license key only)$130,000 SBR-CAR-ADD-1M SBR Carrier - Add 1,000,000 concurrent sessions (license key only)$240,000 SBR-CAR-ADD-2M SBR Carrier - Add 2,000,000 concurrent sessions (license key only)$440,000
Copyright © 2007 Juniper Networks, Inc. Proprietary and Confidentialwww.juniper.net 27 Concurrent User Licenses Example A customer requires a basic redundant AAA server (2 licenses) and estimates that he requires a total of 250,000 concurrent users on his site. The customer will need to order: 2 X SBR-CAR-AAA, which will give him the ability to install SBR Carrier on 2 servers, with 100,000 concurrent users (the base license comes with 50,000 concurrent users, X2) The customer still needs 150,000 concurrent users (for a total of 250,000 concurrent users) so will need to order SBR-CAR- ADD-50K and SBR-CAR-ADD-100K = 2 SBR Carrier AAA + 250,000 concurrent users

Copyright © 2007 Juniper Networks, Inc. Proprietary and Confidentialwww.juniper.net 44 Cisco Access Registrar Knockoffs: Not as feature rich as SBR Carrier Manageability not as good SBR Performance is better Requires programming in TCL or C for advanced features that are simply configurable in SBR No EAP-AKA support, EAP-SIM support requires ITP No IPv6 support No native Oracle support Watch out for: RADIUS CoA support in base package Aggressive discounting in turnkey solutions Pricing: CPU (Core) based Base Server (1 CPU/Core): $35,000 Additional $10,000 per CPU/Core SIM support more expensive and requires ITP product for HLR connectivity
Copyright © 2007 Juniper Networks, Inc. Proprietary and Confidentialwww.juniper.net 45 Bridgewater AAA service controller Knockoffs: Very basic base feature package, SBR Carrier Core comes with a lot more features packed in the base package Everything is an option (from EAP to accounting to assigning an ip-address) Base package with 10K subs already more expensive then SBR Carrier core with 50K subs List price overall 3 to 10 times as expensive as SBR Carrier, based on functionality Requires expensive pro-services for expansion or custom business logic Comes with integrated subscriber database, no support for existing subscriber databases. SBR can integrate with existing infrastructure No EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA HLR support Watch out for: Good entry level price for 1K subs basic package, which allows customer penetration, anything beyond that is very expensive Aggressive marketing Company focus, this is their only product DCHP server support Integrated subscriber database can be an asset if that is a customer requirement Pricing: subscriber based Fully subscriber based Everything is optional
Copyright © 2007 Juniper Networks, Inc. Proprietary and Confidentialwww.juniper.net 46 Apertio (NSN) One-AAA Knockoffs: Pretty basic feature package acquired from AAA vendor focusing on German market SBR Carrier is more mature and feature rich, has a large install base Most of NSN’s customers are running SBR Comes with integrated subscriber database, no support for existing subscriber databases. SBR can integrate with existing infrastructure No EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA HLR support No WiMAX support (NSN is selling SBR Carrier into WiMAX opportunities), but they are working on it Watch out for: Pure subscriber based pricing allows good entry level price, but scales out higher then SBR Carrier Aggressive discounting in turnkey solution The centralized subscriber management Integrated HLR/HSS/AAA package Integrated subscriber database can be an asset if that is a customer requirement NSN approaching customers they have sold SBR to for a migration Pricing: subscriber based Fully subscriber based, estimated between $ $1.20/sub
