Tata Communications, a leading provider of A New World of Communications, and Telecom Italia Sparkle, a leading global operator and the international services arm of Telecom Italia Group, has implemented the world’s first LTE roaming peering between two IPX providers. This industry-first peering extends the global community of interconnected LTE enabled mobile network operators (MNOs) as 4G adoption continues to grow.
With 4G LTE revenues projected to exceed $100bn globally in 2014, LTE roaming enablement is critical to maximizing revenue growth. This peering will enable the exchange of LTE roaming traffic between Tata Communications and Telecom Italia Sparkle's networks, creating an interconnected infrastructure that combines the quality and security of the respective IPX networks.
The LTE roaming peering between Tata Communications and Telecom Italia Sparkle is an extension of an existing IPX inter-provider interconnect between the two companies, which supports live traffic including signaling, voice and data roaming, as well as end-to-end QoS.
As part of Tata Communications' aim to simplify global roaming complexity, the company recently introduced an LTE Roaming Service, as the latest addition to IPX+ multi-services solutions portfolio Built on the company's leading global data network, the LTE Roaming Service provides the reach, scale, and reliability for mission- critical operations and enables MNOs to fast track their roll-out of LTE roaming in a cost-effective and scalable manner, while creating differentiation in a highly competitive marketplace.
