Correspondingly, the disclosure further discloses a method for implementing concentrated access to a BOSS, including: an HLR subsystem is specified for performing concentrated access to each BOSS subsystem; the BOSS subsystem sends a business processing request to the specified HLR subsystem; the specified HLR subsystem forwards the business processing request to a corresponding HLR subsystem; and the corresponding HLR subsystem feeds the business processing information back to the BOSS subsystem by the specified HLR subsystem. By the system and method, the BOSS system can access to the distributed HLR system only from one concentrated access point without the cross-regional access to the distributed HLR system, so that the network construction cost is reduced. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A system for implementing concentrated access of a Business Operations Support System (BOSS), comprising: a plurality of Home Location Register (HLR) subsystems and at least one BOSS subsystem;
