Hub solutions to address today’s roaming challenges

30. April 2008

Comfone has combined some of the most popular elements of our existing service portfolio to make up our new integrated hub service, a solution which includes hub services for GSM, SMS, GRX/IPX, MMS, 3G-4G, WLAN and WiMAX.

Comfone’s association with roaming hubs is not new. We have been developing commercial international roaming platforms since the company’s founding in 1997, preparing to address the demands of today’s market. One of the first and most successful of our service portfolio was Comfone's Global Cellular Service (GCS), a service which has established more than 3500 roaming connections over the past ten years. Now Comfone offers a complete range of hubs for all standards of roaming traffic.

Benefit from Comfone Hub Services:

• quickly achieve a global roaming footprint through one agreement and one signalling connection
• add new roaming partners and services at minimal cost
• outsource administration and maintenance of today’s complex international roaming and interworking relations
• simplify implementation and testing procedures
• increase efficiency and profitability of roaming business
• utilise established migration processes for bilateral to hub-based relations

“As market requirements evolve there is an ever growing demand for simpler and more efficient procedures for roaming. It is my belief that SS7 and IP hubs will ultimately merge together and become an integrated hub. We at Comfone are preparing now to meet the demands of tomorrow’s mobile operators today.”
Heiner Brandenberger, Senior Product Manager and Vice President for Business Development, Comfone

Last week, Comfone attended the ‘Roaming World Congress’ in Vienna, Austria, where our Hub Services received much interest. Heiner Brandenberger, Comfone Senior Product Manager and Vice President for Business Development, spoke at the conference presenting Comfone’s views on “Migrating from a bilateral framework to a hub-based roaming” to the delegate audience.
