The new BICS IPX platform is paving way for operators to offer their subscribers LTE roaming across countries and continents. Earlier this year, Swisscom and SK Telecom deployed their solution to enable their subscribers to have LTE access when they travel between Switzerland and South Korea. With Roger Communications coming onboard, subscribers of all three networks can now roam on 4G LTE between Canada and the two countries. BICS, a global provider of wholesale carrier services, offers their IPX network and LTE Diameter Signalling service to enable operators to offer seamless access to the high speed internet connection and high quality user experience by transporting the mobile operators’ LTE traffic across the world with low latency, guaranteed quality of service, capital and operating expense savings, cascaded billing and payments in a fully secured environment.
 "The launch of LTE roaming to customers of Swisscom, SK Telecom and Rogers marks the start of a new era for international roaming services,” says Mikaël Schachne, VP Mobile Data Business at BICS. “We are currently supporting the data roaming needs of over 200 operators worldwide and we anticipate that these, and other service providers, will see the value in migrating to IPX to offer LTE services to their customers. “Virtually any operator can connect to the BICS IPX network, including Mobile Network Operators, MVNO’s, MVNE’s, Fixed Network Operators, ISPs and ASPs. By doing so, they become part of a private cloud, facilitating access to Next Generation IP based hubbing services and offering customers the highest quality data services available.”
