Comfone
signs partnership agreement with i2i Telesource
i2i Telesource and Comfone today announced they are partnering to
provide GRX (GPRS Roaming Exchange) and MMS (Multimedia Message
Service) HUB Services to Mobile operators in India.
BANGLORE, May 22, 2006— A
GRX is a dedicated data network interconnecting GPRS mobile operators’
networks. GRX services enable travelers and business people to
use their GPRS services while they are abroad or beyond the reach
of their home network . With MMS Hub, operators can benefit from
building up their MMS interconnections through a single physical
connection and service contract, thus increasing efficiency and
reducing costs. The interchange of MMS traffic between operators
is enabled with IP access and routing using DNS with Mobile Number
Portability Support.
Roaming services are still a major growth opportunity
for mobile operators worldwide. Looking into future challenges,
i2i Telesource and Comfone has invested in becoming the leading
inter-operator solution provider – offering high quality
data, signaling, broker and clearing services with customer care.
