Starhome, the leading provider and acknowledged driving force of roaming services for mobile network operators, today announced that the BARG (Billing and Accounting Roaming Group) of the GSM Association, has determined that the Gateway Location Register (GLR) solution is not an Anti-SoR (Anti Steering of Roaming) solution and cannot be considered as a hostile means to maintain roamers in an operator’s network.

The Gateway Location Register works by providing a mechanism for aggregating individual MSCs (mobile switch control) to reduce the MAP (Mobile Application Part) signalling between the HPMN (Home Public Mobile Network) and the VPMN (Visited Public Mobile Network). As a result, the Gateway Location Register provides the VPMN with the ability to significantly reduce the amount of signaling messages sent to its signaling provider and toward other Home Public Mobile Networks (HPMNs).
Throughout the last 10 years, Starhome has led the roaming market with pioneering solutions. Its Gateway Location Register was the first solution of its kind to be introduced to the market more than three years ago, gaining Starhome a strategic advantage over its competitors.

Starhome’s experience of providing more than 65 successful live installations of its Gateway Location Register solution have shown that it is the preferred solution, providing proven results while complying with GSMA recommendations.

Shlomo Wolfman, co-founder and COO of Starhome commented: “Operators can now feel confident of using Starhome’s Gateway Location Register as a means to increase their inbound market share. Starhome has always maintained that its Gateway Location Register is a legitimate solution to manage and optimize operator’s inbound roaming traffic; we are happy that BARG has confirmed this.”

The Starhome Gateway Location Register has enhanced capabilities that go beyond the 3GPP standard; with more than 65 implementations of the Gateway Location Register, 20% of which are in Tier 1 networks, the solution provides the network infrastructure with intelligent roaming capabilities to monitor, manage, optimize and maintain a high quality of service for inbound roamer traffic.

Madrid, 10 de febrero de 2010- Telefónica y Orange han alcanzado un acuerdo para desarrollar nuevos servicios de comunicaciones multimedia y llevar a cabo en España una experiencia piloto de la tecnología RCS antes de que finalice el primer semestre de 2010.

Con los servicios RCS los operadores habilitarán la actualización automática de fotos en la agenda de contactos e incorporarán además información de estado y de presencia. También se activará el chat, la compartición de vídeos o imágenes durante una llamada y el envío de ficheros multimedia entre usuarios.

Todos estos servicios se podrán utilizar tanto desde el móvil como desde el PC, ofreciéndose para ello la funcionalidad de unificación móvil-PC de la agenda de contactos gracias al back-up y sincronización automáticos.

El objetivo de los operadores al definir el estándar de RCS es el de elevar de manera universal las funcionalidades de comunicación ofrecidas a los usuarios de todas las compañías. Por ello los servicios RCS se han constituido sobre una serie de factores que garanticen una rápida difusión y una fácil adopción por parte de los usuarios:

-Experiencia de uso sencilla y utilización de estos servicios desde la agenda nativa de de contactos de los teléfonos móviles

-Interoperabilidad de estos nuevos servicios para permitir a los usuarios comunicarse con todos los contactos de su agenda, sea cual sea su operador.

-Estandarización de la tecnología de cara a facilitar la integración de estos servicios todos los teléfonos y asegurar una excelente calidad de servicio.

Orange y Telefónica han anunciado que el piloto estará basado en las especificaciones de RCS Release 2, aprobadas en junio de 2009 por la GSM Association (GSMA), de la que son miembros activos. El piloto contará con la participación de clientes de ambas compañías y el apoyo de los actores clave dentro de la industria de las telecomunicaciones, hecho que permitirá corroborar el potencial de este estándar de comunicaciones a través de la prestación de servicios en un entorno real.
