Gateway Location Register

 

As the mobile telecom market becomes more competitive, mobile network operators are looking for revenue assurance by enlarging their inbound roaming revenues, while lowering their signaling costs.

 

The inbound market provides the VPMN with the majority of total roaming revenues. Control of the number of inbound roamers is therefore crucial.

 

Span offers Gateway Location Register(GLR) which provides the VPMN with the ability to significantly reduce the amount of signaling messages sent via its signaling provider to HPMNs. This reduction eventually enables the operator to control inbound roamers’ activities within the network and to reduce expenses.

 

Features of Gateway Location Register:

• Enhanced 3GPP Gateway Location Register platform
• Telco-Grade platform with real-time and high capacity support
• Geographically-distributed architecture
• Monitors and identifies gaps in the coverage of your inbound roamers

 Backhaul optimization

 

The Backhaul bottleneck is an ever-increasing threat as the mobile networks migrate to 3G and HSDPA, which leads to bandwidth increase to be delivered to the subscriber.

 

Span offers the solution using cellular backhaul switches, which enables operators to significantly expand backhaul capacity, allowing effective and gradual transition from 2G to 3G traffic and cost-effective rollout of HSDPA – all while leveraging the existing infrastructure. Using compression at the Abis and Ater interfaces has led us to increase in backhaul capacities at 15 major leading operators in Africa, Europe and Latin America serving more than 200 million customers.

 

Span provides unique aggregation and optimization solutions for the cellular backhaul network enabling operators to enjoy the best of both worlds – lower backhaul OpEx, without rise in CapEx, and increase revenues through rapid rollout of 3G and HSDPA services.
