Simple and configurable way to monitor your 5G costs and revenues for both equipments and services

5GBiller is an integrated solution for collecting both data and metrics from 5G platforms, over multiple IAAS, monitor them and extract a custom billing report, applying your valorisation rules to your customers consumptions.

Adding a new rule is as easy as adding a new yaml object to your user configuration. Pick a system metric, define a price and an unit, and that's it : both system metrics and rated metrics are made available in your dashboard.

Our model can be extended with any type of additional key-value pairs and supports both multi-tenancy and labels to assert any level of billing granularity for your use case.

Leveraging current billing and open source best practices

5G ecosystem is rich of many mature and / or innovative solutions regarding data collection and monitoring, but adapting them to your environment may reveal tedious, while combining them to cover more features or more precise ones may just be of too complicated or time consuming.

Focused on providing an extensible, modular and easy approach to the 5G resources reporting and management, 5G Biller is based on a system of configuration layers which provides different level of abstractions, enabling different stakeholders to customize the solution stack in regards of their needs and technical affinities.

Being a collaborative effort between both industrial and academic french partners, 5G Biller distinguish itself from other projects by an absolute no vendor locking effort. As is, most of the results are published as upstream pull requests to their respective projects.
