Introduction to Roaming
operators establish roaming agreements. However, operators are free to modify them or create their own then perform network testing and billing testing before going live
" Network testing (IREG testing) test calls to ensure roamers can use the VPMNs services " Billing testing (TADIG testing) test TAP records to ensure billing information is captured correctly and can be processed by the HPMNs billing system
Roaming Agreements

carriers on a competitive basis but with common agreed technical specifications and using consistent commercial models specific IP services at specific quality levels
! " The managed network environment is traffic engineered to support ! " The IPX solution is a premium quality solution that promises errorfree delivery of traffic while offering the flexibility to apply an appropriate level of quality as demanded by each different class of service
15
" Facilitating ease of use and reduce OPEX " Higher throughput with lower cost " Quicker time to market for service interworking efficient growth " Unlike the Internet, will ensure a level of service and security " Facilitating migration to next generation networks " Ensuring higher level of revenue assurance " Better network control
! " Differentiated CoS and end-to-end QoS with SLA ! " Interworking between IMS and legacy systems
! " Improved agreement management and cascade billing ! " Session-aware interworking

IP Packet eXchange
MPLS will enable QoS and CoS. Customers asking for QoS now
IPX Security
! " The IPX is not addressable from the Internet which makes attacks
much more difficult breaches
! " Individual operator traffic is segregated thus localizing any security ! " End user terminals have no visibility of the IPX
" They are unable to probe the core networks involved in the management and delivery of the IP services
! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
" Signaling (Sigtran services) " CDMA/GPRS/LTE roaming " WLAN roaming IPX Transport Services " Message interworking (MMS, SMS) " IP voice telephony (VoIP) interworking IPX Interworking Services " IP video telephony interworking " Push-to-talk over cellular " Advanced messaging and presence (GSMA RCS)
IPX is much more than a roaming network
