CDR
Charging Data Records (CDRs) capture session-level activity details across all types of communications within the MCX system—including voice, video and messaging.
CDRs are critical for :
- Billing and subscription tracking
- Service usage analysis
- Regulatory compliance
- Network performance monitoring
Cybertel MCX platform provides automated, detail and customizable CDR generation for group and individual call events, with flexible export options for integration with external billing systems.

CDR Architecture
Cybertel MCX Server autonomously generates structured CDR files in CSV, XLS, or JSON formats. Files are saved to local storage and transferred to post-processing billing systems via Push, Pull, or Hot Billing (real-time API) methods.
