Comfone is the only provider in the mobile telecom market currently offering roaming on both GSM and WiFi in an integrated platform. The increasing data roaming traffic is stretching bandwidth capacity to its limits and MNOs are attempting to offload their traffic onto WLAN. Comfone’s innovative WeRoam IP hub has converged GSM and WiFi traffic into one hub with fully integrated Data and Financial Clearing services. As one of the biggest wireless IP hubs in the world, WeRoam offers a global footprint of over 60’000 hotspots and counts tier one operators such as AT&T, the Orange Group, BT Openzone, TeliaSonera and BeeLine Russia among its impressive list of customers. Comfone further underscores its leadership in data roaming with strong Signalling and GRX services. Comfone’s GRX service provides customers global IP inter-connectivity to over 500 GPRS/3G/HSxPA networks and reaches every single GPRS enabled MNO in the world. Offering a superb high performance network and full access redundancy, Comfone has earned its position as one of the world’s leading GRX providers. The innovative next step in Comfone’s data roaming strategy is the launch of a completely integrated data roaming solution based on its successful Key2roam hub.
