06/02/2007
Aicent eXchange services delivers GRX and CRX services for WorldCells Inter-Standard Roaming Service for wireless carriers
SAN JOSE, CALIF (OCTOBER 26, 2007) Aicent, Inc. announced today that WorldCell, a leading provider of turnkey technology solutions to wireless operators, has selected two of Aicents Roaming eXchange services for the companys inter-standard data roaming offering. WorldCells Inter-Standard Roaming (ISR) service allows travelers with service on one type of cellular phone network to use data services such as email and mobile Internet on their mobile phones when using cellular networks of a different type, greatly extending their ability to stay connected worldwide.
WorldCell offers wireless operators a turnkey solution to extend service beyond their coverage area, while eliminating the barriers to cross-protocol roaming. Aicents CDMA Roaming eXchange (CRX) and GSM Roaming eXchange (GRX) services are critical components of WorldCells network architecture, giving WorldCell global reach for inter-standard roaming between networks based on CDMA the most popular mobile standard in North America and GSM the most popular mobile standard in the rest of the world. WorldCells ISR is the industrys first fully hosted solution offering with integrated GSM roaming footprint, consolidated billing and clearing functionality, thanks in large measure to Aicents technology.
Aicents CRX and GRX services connect to CDMA and GSM operators worldwide with quality connections and the ability to provision these connections quickly and reliably. Aicents eXchange services enable WorldCell to meet its customers growing need for inter-standard roaming.
Wireless operators understand that people depend on their mobile phones just as much when they are traveling as they do when they are in their home town on their home networks, said Lokdeep Singh, vice president of Engineering at WorldCell. But just as much as they depend on their phones, they also expect them to simply work when they turn them on, which is why inter-standard roaming is an essential service for wireless operators to provide their customers. WorldCell evaluated and tested a great deal of technology before determining which to integrate with our Inter-Standard Roaming service. We found that Aicents CRX and GRX roaming eXchange services were some of the most scalable and reliable on the market.
Aicents eXchange services offer mobile operators highly-scalable solutions for roaming, authentication and network interconnectivity. Aicents technology allows mobile operators to support rapidly growing mobile data services and an increasingly mobile user population that often needs to use services on the networks of more than one provider. Both Aicents CRX and GRX services are cost-efficient solutions that enable CDMA and GSM operators to offer a high-performance worldwide data roaming services with secured private IP network infrastructure and world class support. Aicent, a pioneer in telecom and data roaming, plays a major role in defining the industrys roaming architecture and requirements.
