Heksagon IPDR Management Services
Leverage IP metadata as a strategic weapon against fraud. Heksagon’s IPDR solution captures, correlates, and analyzes IP traffic records across fixed and mobile networks, enabling real-time fraud detection, regulatory compliance, and actionable intelligence.
Turn Network Metadata into Actionable Insights
Telecommunications operators face mounting regulatory pressure for comprehensive data retention while struggling with exponential traffic growth, fragmented logging systems, and massive storage requirements. Yet, many operators lack unified platforms capable of capturing, correlating, and retaining IP metadata across diverse network technologies.
Our IPDR Management solution provides carrier-grade collection and retention to ensure compliance with global regulations while supporting law enforcement, network analytics, and security intelligence. It consolidates metadata from CGNAT, AAA, GTP, DPI, and network elements into unified storage with intelligent compression, covering fixed broadband, mobile data (2G–5G), and convergent services.

Frequently Asked Questions
What compliance requirements does IPDR Management address?
Heksagon supports global data retention mandates, including EU, TRAI, Yarovaya, and other regional telecom regulations, with configurable retention periods from 6 months to 2+ years.
How does Heksagon’s system manage massive IP data volumes?
Our platform uses multi-level compression, tiered storage, and distributed architecture to handle petabyte-scale deployments efficiently while maintaining fast query response times.
What security measures protect IPDR data?
We implement AES-256 encryption, TLS 1.3, multi-factor authentication, role-based access, and full audit trails to ensure data integrity and compliance with ISO 27001 and telecom security standards.
How quickly can law enforcement retrieve data?
Recent data is available within seconds; older archives within minutes to hours. Emergency requests are prioritized with pre-indexing for faster access.
Does the platform support both fixed and mobile networks?
Yes. Heksagon collects IPDR across fixed broadband, mobile (2G–5G), and converged networks, creating unified subscriber profiles for comprehensive investigations.
What happens after the retention period expires?
