Tata Communications had offered its ICX service on a limited-availability basis to four of the world’s largest mobile network operators last month, allowing them to open up CAMEL-based roaming to one of China's largest mobile phone operators in time for the Beijing Olympic Games.

With ten operators already connected to the ICX platform, Tata Communications currently offers CAMEL roaming and connectivity to China, the United Kingdom, Romania, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Sweden, with more than 30 additional operators committed to utilizing the service globally, said a press release.

“Tata Communications is committed to offering the most innovative services to our customers worldwide and we’re pleased with the response of our customers to the ICX service,” said Allan Chan, executive vice president, Mobility Services for Tata Communications.

“Our trial participants are now able to open service to other destinations to help them go beyond Beijing and fast track their roaming reach around the world.”

Directly confronting the interoperability challenges operators face when expanding into developing markets with highly complex networks, the Intelligent CAMEL eXchange facilitates the implementation of CAMEL roaming agreements through intelligent signaling, monitoring, and normalization, said the release.

The technology solution enables mobile operators to increase efficiency in implementing CAMEL Roaming relationships.

“While we are known in the mobile market for our numerous platforms to mobile network operators, this collaboration with Tata Communications marks our entry in the Managed Services area”, says Mao Mohapatra, CEO of Bharti Telesoft.
