BICS, a leading international communications enabler, this week announced that it has established the live 5G data roaming service between Monaco Telecom, the Principality’s national operator, and an Italian telecommunications company.
Marking another major milestone on the road to global 5G roaming, the service, launched leverages BICS’ 5G global IPX network to provide secure, reliable, ultra-low latency 5G data connectivity to subscribers.
The announcement follows the launch of the first intercontinental 5G roaming service between Europe and Asia, which was facilitated by BICS in July earlier this year. The Principality of Monaco was the first in the world to enable 5G services across its entire territory, meeting the needs of its customers’ growing expectations of mobile broadband.

The successful launch of Monaco’s 5G roaming service has created a blueprint for other operators in Europe – and across the world – to emulate.

We broke new ground last summer by rolling out the first fully nationwide 5G service, and, through our close partnership with BICS, have built on this success, meaning more end-users can benefit from borderless, next-generation connectivity.
