Syniverse announced today that it has signed an agreement with Ooredoo Qatar for Syniverse’s IPX Network Solution to enhance Ooredoo’s 4G roaming service for customers.
The agreement builds on Syniverse’s 20-plus-year relationship with Ooredoo Qatar, making mobile work with the critical data clearing and financial clearing necessary to ensure efficient, reliable roaming processes.
“Ooredoo continues to invest in new solutions that enhance the customer experience and build our position as a market leader in data services. The increased bandwidth supported by the IPX Network will enable customers to enjoy the incredible speeds of our bigger, faster network even when they travel outside of Qatar,” said Yousuf Al Kubaisi, Chief Executive Officer of Ooredoo Global Services (OGS).
Syniverse’s IPX Network Solution provides a carrier-grade connection to the company’s all-IP network that currently serves nearly 800 LTE roaming routes, with LTE reach across more than 200 operators in 44 countries. This reach includes over 100 direct connections that offer access to Syniverse’s full suite of mobile solutions. As a core component of the company’s LTE solution portfolio, the Syniverse IPX Network Solution provides a one-connection-to-multiple-services approach that aims to lower costs and boost operational efficiencies by reducing the number of network connections a mobile service provider must manage.
“With exceptional scale and direct reach around the globe, the Syniverse IPX enhances Ooredoo Qatar’s ability to deliver the flawless, uninterrupted service that its inbound and outbound roamers expect,” said Nour Al Atassi, Regional Vice President and Managing Director, Middle East and Africa, Syniverse. “Providing flawless service not only benefits Ooredoo Qatar, but also ensures brand protection for roamers’ home operators whose users expect to make calls, browse the Web, check social media and download videos as if they were at home.”
