A1 Wholesale Global IPX services secure and stable
Mobile operators are always as strong as their connections. Therefore, to provide a globally stable roaming service, you need absolutely reliable IPX services like those offered by A1 Wholesale. The services include a wide range for maximum connectivity, including 5G. During 2021, a 5G signaling service will also be available. And since numbers always speak for success, A1 also offers A1 Roaming Traffic Reporting and Analytics, a comprehensive analysis tool for visualizing all types of roaming traffic.
This year´s Rocco survey has put questions along the topic how prepared vendors are to provide more connectivity in an upcoming 5G scenario.
