Our Technology

MVNO Hosting

Our fundamental role is hosting MVROs [Mobile Virtual Roaming Operator] on our platform to the advantage of both MVNOs and their network partners.

We own our technology, a complete solution which gets you operational quickly and cost-effectively.

We do not charge fees for initial setup. We believe in your business and we only get a fee on your purchase of aritime. These fees vary depending on the volume, location, complexity of project.

Platform overview

Our mobile service platform is the backbone of an MVNO network, connecting all MVNO back-office systems with the MNO partner.

Simple

One centralized platform includes all the elements you need:

A solid bridge between your own systems and your network partner's, it's the cornerstone of an MVNO solution.

Network

Our network provides roaming agreements with over 450 partners covering 213 countries. Global Roaming Inc. offers on of the largest coverage for roaming needs.

Flexible

You decide which services you want to offer your customers, choosing only those elements which suit your value chain.

Scalable

Our platform was designed to be easily scalable so you can roll out into new markets as soon as you are ready to grow your base.

Reliable

The carefully designed architecture offers full redundancy: if any element breaks, there's a route around it so your network never goes down.

Economical

From our highly centralized architecture, we host mobile virtual networks and operations in different countries, which means you benefit from our cost savings.

Privacy

We will never disclose your name or reference without your prior consent. You run your hosted platform as of YOURS. No mention of Global Roaming Inc.

Capacity

The platform can handle an unlimited number of MVROs and operators. We are currently running over 15 MVROs on this platform in Ireland, USA, Canada, India and France.

Connectivity

All MVNOs are separated by a 'Chinese wall' both technically and in terms of process management. We work with the top carriers around the world.

Security

The heart of our hardware is hosted centrally and securely hosted and managed by Media Temple and 1&1in their secure facility. Our platform has fully redundant links to local sites and equipment across the globe, guaranteeing a minimum of 99.999% uptime. Regarded as the highest level of design and engineering by the Uptime Institute, Media Temple's data centers surpass all previous standards for uptime, security, cooling and power redundancy. Media Temple is the only hosting provider hosted in Tier IV.

Glossary

C7 - Common Channel Signaling System No. 7
SS7 (C7) is a global standard for telecommunications defined by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T). The standard defines the procedures and protocol by which network elements in the public switched telephone network (PSTN) exchange information over a digital signaling network to effect wireless (cellular) and wireline call setup, routing and control.

DIMSI - Dual International Mobile Subscriber Identity
DIMSI is an application that functions in our GSM Signaling Platform that provides IMSI translation capabilities

GPRS - General Packet Radio Service
An enhancement to the GSM mobile communications system that supports data packets. GPRS enables continuous flows of IP data packets over the system for such applications as Web browsing and file transfer. GPRS differs from GSM's short messaging service (GSM-SMS) which is limited to messages of 160 bytes in length.

GSM - Global System for Mobile Communications
GSM is a digital cellular phone technology based on TDMA that is the predominant system in Europe, but is also used around the world. Developed in the 1980s, GSM was first deployed in seven European countries in 1992. Operating in the 900MHz and 1.8GHz bands in Europe and the 1.9GHz PCS band in the U.S., GSM defines the entire cellular system, not just the air interface (TDMA, CDMA, etc.). As of 2000, there were more than 250 million GSM users, which is more than half of the world's mobile phone population.

H.323
H.323 is an umbrella recommendation from the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) that sets standards for multimedia communications over Local Area Networks (LANs) that do not provide a guaranteed Quality of Service (QoS).

ISDN - Integrated Services Digital Network
ISDN is a system of digital phone connections which has been available for over a decade. This system allows data to be transmitted simultaneously across the world using end-to-end digital connectivity.

ISTP - Internet Signaling Transport Protocol
ISTP is a protocol that provides a signaling interconnection service between the PacketCable network control elements (Call Management Server and Media Gateway Controller) and the PSTN SS7 Signaling network through the SS7 Signaling Gateway.

SCCP - Signaling Connection Control Part
SCCP provides connectionless and connection-oriented network services above MTP Level 3.

SCP - Service Control Point
A node in an SS7 telephone network that provides an interface to databases, which may reside within the SCP computer or in other computers. The SCP may also be combined with the SS7 node that routes messages, called a "signal transfer point" (STP).

SS7 - Common Channel Signaling System No. 7
SS7 is a global standard for telecommunications defined by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T). The standard defines the procedures and protocol by which network elements in the public switched telephone network (PSTN) exchange information over a digital signaling network to effect wireless (cellular) and wireline call setup, routing and control.

STP - Signal Transfer Point
A node in the SS7 telephone network that routes messages between exchanges and between exchanges and databases that hold subscriber and routing information.

USSD - Unstructured Supplementary Services Data
USSD is a means of transmitting information or instructions over a GSM network. USSD has some similarities with SMS since both use the GSM network's signaling path. Unlike SMS, USSD is not a store and forward service and is session-oriented such that when a user accesses a USSD service, a session is established and the radio connection stays open until the user, application, or time out releases it. This has more in common with Data than SMS. USSD text messages can be up to 182 characters in length.
