A Milestone for 5G SA Roaming: First movers and real devices
We’re excited to share a concrete step forward for 5G Standalone (SA) roaming. At Comfone, we have facilitated real-device eMBB 5G SA roaming test cases – Voice, Data, and SMS – between 2 major Asian MNOs. These tests have now been successfully completed. The next phase is for both operators to work with their BCE […]
5G SA: What’s taking so long?
People ask me why 5G Standalone (5G SA) is taking so long to be deployed. Some say that 5G could possibly be skipped and that it might be better to wait for 6G. It is undeniable that the mobile telecommunications industry is at an inflection point, poised for big changes and a new direction. the […]
Securing your IoT Business: Protecting Networks from Signalling Storms
The rise of the Internet of Things (IoT) is transforming industries, enabling business to connect billions of devices worldwide. However, with this rapid expansion comes an increasing challenge – securing IoT networks from signalling storms that can compromise performance, security, and profitability. At Comfone, we provide robust IPX and signalling solutions designed to protect IoT […]
5G SA: How to strike the right balance between security measures and business objectives
Have you read part one of our blog? Check it out here. International Wholesale Roaming ecosystem As we have learnt in part one of this blog, mobile networks use signalling between internal network nodes/functions to provide services to users. However, mobile networks don’t just communicate internally. They also interconnect with other networks, both domestically for […]
The importance of Cybersecurity in 5G
This is part one of our series on Cybersecurity in 5G. See also part TWO – The challenge of 5G SA: How to strike the right balance between Security Measures and Business Objectives. Mobile Devices have become the interface between us as humans and the digital world of online applications and information. The fact that […]
Transforming global connectivity in the age of IoT and AI
The telecom and roaming industries are experiencing a significant transformation with the rapid rise of the Internet of Things (IoT) and Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication, alongside the revolutionary power of Artificial Intelligence (AI). At the heart of this evolution are roaming hubs, which enable seamless global connectivity and intelligent network management. Drawing on years of expertise […]
Sponsored Roaming and Comfone’s Signalling Services
In this blog post we are going to focus on Sponsored Roaming. We have been talking about the 14 very solid value propositions for MNOs to use Comfone’s IPX Signalling Services. Building an international roaming footprint takes Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) many years of hard work. This includes negotiating, implementing, operating and maintaining contractual and […]
5G Standalone and the impact on Roaming Hubs
In the fast-paced world of telecommunications, the shift from 5G Non-Standalone (NSA) to 5G Standalone (SA) networks is a game-changer. Whilst 5G NSA helped kickstart 5G by using existing 4G infrastructure, 5G SA is where the real magic happens. This evolution is set to transform international roaming and redefine how roaming hubs operate. Let’s […]
How 5G satellites are revolutionising Mobile Global Connectivity
Today, terrestrial cellular mobile networks provide mobile broadband network access to 95% of the world’s population. However, they only cover 15% of the planet’s surface. Now, you may think that this is sufficient, and it would be unnecessary to increase reach. But one could argue that that there are arguments in favour of improving both. […]
Business Continuity in Wholesale Roaming
In recent months, we have been discussing why MNOs should use Comfone’s IPX Signalling Services. We have learnt what signalling is in the context of Wholesale Roaming from our blog about Roaming Mobility Signalling. In basic terms, roaming signalling is like the oxygen of the roaming business. Without the signalling, there is no roaming. […]
