Ericsson BSCS iX integration for card issuance.

What this integration does.

Virtual Visa / Mastercard issuance, instant tokenisation for Apple Pay / Google Pay, 3DS authentication. Card-on-file works directly against the operator's recurring billing.

BSCS iX is still widely deployed across tier-1 EU operators despite being end-of-mainstream-support on older releases. The event surface is JMS-based, which requires a custom adapter (~5 extra integration days vs Amdocs).

● BSS EVENTS COREAL CONSUMES
  • ›Subscriber identity
  • ›Address verification

● VERSION COMPATIBILITY
Connectors verified against iX 11 · iX 12 · iX 13

Market share: ≈25% of EU tier-1 operators.

● KNOWN LIMITATIONS
  • ▲JMS surface introduces extra latency vs Kafka (~200ms p95)
  • ▲On-premise deployments need a VPN tunnel for the event consumer

·Questions we hear

Does this require write access to Ericsson BSCS iX?

No. Coreal subscribes read-only to the operator's JMS queue or REST notification. The OCS, HLR and subscriber records are never written to. The connector reverts in a single config change.

What's the typical integration timeline for Ericsson BSCS iX + card?

10–14 working days for a clean deployment with custom adapter. The bottleneck is usually the operator's network change request to allow outbound events, not the connector itself.

Which Ericsson BSCS iX versions are supported?

Coreal has connectors verified against iX 11, iX 12, iX 13. Earlier versions may need a translation adapter — typically +3–5 days.
