The global roaming market is going through increasing developments; with more businesses and people generally depending on online activities, telecom providers are becoming more pressured to be able to fulfil the needs of the market. With more people depending on telecom companies to provide to people’s everyday needs, many communication service providers are stepping up and implementing technology into their roaming management. Before we get to that though, let us have a better understanding of what roaming management is.
Mobile roaming can be defined as a functionality by telecom providers to allow customers of one network to use the network of another operator (visiting network), that way, customers can still make and receive phone calls, as well as exchange data while travelling. These so-called visiting networks can be called roaming partners. Roaming management in the telecom world is essentially the process of organizing a CSP’s roaming partners and the roaming operation.
