We are excited to announce the release of MediationZone 9.2!

The key focus area in release 9.2 is to optimize productivity and efficiency benefits by introducing new features and enhancements designed to facilitate integration and interoperability. 

Three of the key features are:

Built-in Avro Encode/Decode with Schema Registry Support

Previously, you had to write Avro format definitions in Ultra formats, compile, and save them in MediationZone. Now we have introduced a more streamlined approach allowing you to refer to external schema registries where the Avro format definition resides, eliminating the need for any internally saved definition in MediationZone. This marks a significant shift as it is the first type of format definition that does not reside in MediationZone. You now have the flexibility to incorporate multiple schema registries within a single workflow, such as distinct ones for the Decoder, Encoder, and APL functions. 

Seamless integration with a centralized schema registry mitigates compatibility issues and promotes seamless interoperability and reliability in distributed systems, see Avro Support.

Git and AWS S3 Import/Export feature 

Import and Export integration with Git and AWS S3 enables you to streamline version control. You can clone Git and AWS S3 repositories, import/export configurations, and switch branches directly from MediationZone, which has been highly requested, see System Exporter.

Support for 3GPP release 17 

In terms of performance enhancements for our Telco customers, this release not only improves performance but also provides scalability benefits, unlocking new features and improvements for next-generation 5G network solutions providing you access to functionalities specifically designed to handle emerging charging use cases, such as network slicing and non-public networks.

We encourage you to explore all the detailed features and enhancements below to gain a comprehensive understanding of the capabilities in MediationZone 9.2:
