Deutsche Telekom Expands Roaming Capabilities with the New LTE Diameter Signaling Service

BONN, Germany--()--Today, International Carrier Sales & Solutions (ICSS), the international wholesale arm of Deutsche Telekom, announced its new LTE Diameter Signaling service, which gives customers the ability to roam over 4G networks while travelling internationally. With this new offering, end users can now take advantage of the benefits provided by 4G, such as higher speeds, enhanced performance, and expanded connectivity capabilities.

The LTE Diameter Signaling service was made possible through the dedicated IP eXchange (IPX) platform from ICSS. The Diameter protocol solves the interoperability problems caused by the broad range of technologies and infrastructures within the telecommunications landscape and allows seamless roaming across differing mobile standards. Via its IPX network, ICSS can connect its LTE roaming customers with more than 800 mobile networks and over 1 million hotspots for global signaling roaming connectivity.

"Our state-of-the-art LTE Diameter Signaling service delivers extremely high-quality signaling services, consistent access to 2G, 3G, and LTE mobile networks, and more than one million WiFi hotspots around the world,” said Holger Magnussen, Senior Vice President, Deutsche Telekom International Carrier Sales & Solutions. “In fact, we are the only global Tier 1 provider that offers an integrated portfolio of cellular and WiFi technologies."
