Tekelec, the session and mobile data management company, has agreed to acquire two companies, policy control provider Camiant and evolved subscriber data management (SDM) company Blueslice Networks.

The company claims that the acquisitions will help shape the definition of next-generation core networks as global service providers evolve to all-internet protocol architectures such as long-term evolution (LTE) and IP multimedia subsystem (IMS).

Tekelec will provide a layer of intelligence that gives service providers real-time abilities to manage their networks based on dynamic policy control, unified subscriber profiles, and market-leading session management, including network routing data, enabling service providers to deliver high-quality and differentiated broadband data services.

Tekelec has agreed to acquire Camiant for cash consideration of approximately $130m. and Blueslice for total cash consideration of $35m. Tekelec also agreed to pay a total of up to an additional $1.5m in cash to certain Blueslice employees upon the achievement of certain integration milestones and to grant to certain Blueslice employees restricted stock units for shares having an aggregate grant date value of approximately $2m.

Frank Plastina, president and CEO of Tekelec, said: “Tekelec is now the only player in the industry with a portfolio solely focused on scaling the intelligence layer of all-IP networks. Camiant and Blueslice histories of innovation, market leadership, and software-centric business models enhance our ability to enable service providers to manage network complexity and enhance the user experience.”
