Call Detail Records (CDRs)

Overview​

Call Detail Records (CDRs) are the foundation of the Bullitt e-BSS system's data tracking and billing capabilities. CDRs provide a comprehensive record of all device activity on the satellite network, enabling detailed analysis of connectivity, messaging, and data usage.

What is a CDR?​

A CDR is a standardized record generated whenever a device interacts with the satellite network. Each CDR contains information about:

  • The type of event that occurred
  • The device involved (identified by IMSI)
  • When the event happened
  • The direction of communication
  • Data volume transferred (where applicable)

CDR Event Types​

The e-BSS system generates CDRs for several types of events:

Event TypeDescription
connectedDevice established connection to the satellite network
disconnectedDevice disconnected from the satellite network
messageMessage was sent between device and network
trackingTracking message sent from the device

CDR Direction​

CDRs include direction information:

  • Upstream: Communications from the device to the network (device-initiated)
  • Downstream: Communications from the network to the device (server-initiated)
