Business Wire
Transaction Network Services (TNS) will deliver a next
generation Data Services Hub solution that includes LTE Roaming
Services for CCA members. The TNS Data Services Hub is the only
roaming hub of its kind in the industry, and this unique platform
will provide participating operators the opportunity to connect for
services including 4G LTE roaming, Wi-Fi access and
interoperability with requisite 3G roaming fallback. CCA issued a
formal request for proposal (RFP) for organizations interested in
hosting the Data Services Hub, and TNS was selected by CCA’s
Business Innovation Group’s steering committee, made up of carrier
members of various sizes and geographies.
The TNS Data Services Hub will provide a technical and business
framework for simplifying LTE and other next generation data
connectivity and roaming needs among participating operators. The
solution will provide value to competitive carriers by enabling
them to work more easily with one another to expand their national
footprints. It will also benefit the international community by
providing a single point of interconnection to the CCA community
for negotiation, execution, implementation, and operation of
roaming agreements for LTE and next generation data services.
“For competitive carriers to continue to compete and survive in
the marketplace, they must have real roaming solutions, and I am
pleased that TNS will provide a platform to achieve this important
goal,” said CCA President & CEO Steven K. Berry. “The migration
to next generation platforms such as LTE represents one of the most
important technology shifts our industry has ever faced. TNS’s Data
Services Hub will provide a unique opportunity for CCA member
operators to innovate and create next generation services that are
flexible, standards-based and enhance the end-user experience.”
Surendra Saboo, CEO of TNS’ Telecom Services Division, stated,
“Enabling LTE roaming and next generation data services is a
critical step for operators to realize high margin roaming
revenues, grow ARPU, and prevent the churn of high-value
subscribers. As a long-time supplier and partner to CCA operator
members, TNS is committed to enhancing a vibrant wireless community
and supporting their progression to LTE. We are thrilled to be
selected as CCA’s Data Services Hub and take great pride in serving
our customers in their successful migration to the exciting new
world of next generation technologies.”
The CCA Data Services Hub solution provided by TNS is an
advanced 4G roaming ecosystem that supports scale, provides
interoperability across multiple vendor variants and protocols,
including LTE, and preserves the flexibility of operator choice.
Through the hosted solution, CCA members can optimize both capital
and operational resources during the evolution, activation and
implementation of next generation data services.
