practice, marking its first issued patent. The company currently has
an additional 39 unique patent applications on file in the US, with a
total of over 60 in progress worldwide.
"This patent evidences Roamware as the inventor of the type of
active and passive SS7 based roaming traffic redirection mechanisms
which form the basis of the GSMA IR 73 guideline on Steering of
Roaming," says John Jiang, Roamware CTO and company representative on
the GSM Association's "Steering of Roaming" council. "The patent
further solidifies Roamware's leadership position in innovation of
roaming and local value added services."
