BICS CONNECTS THE 40TH SERVICE PROVIDER TO ITS IPX
Brussels, Belgium – 15 September 2011
BICS, a leading global provider of voice, messaging, roaming, connectivity and mobile financial services,
today announced that it has connected the 40th service provider to its IPX (IP eXchange) solution.
By connecting to this high-quality platform, service providers have seamless access to BICS’ IPX services, including IPX Transport, IPX Voice and IPX LTE Signalling. IPX Transport allows operators to become part of a private cloud, where they can easily establish interworking and roaming services with trusted partners within a secure and managed IP network, while IPX Voice offers a future proof voice hubbing solution that combines routing and commercial transparency with global coverage and quality assurance. IPX LTE Signalling enables roaming in a 4G environment, for which trials are already engaging multiple service providers in testing LTE data roaming. All IPX services are fully compliant with the GSMA recommendations.
“BICS has a long standing reputation for delivering fixed and mobile solutions to service providers around the world, and our IPX services’ offering reinforces our commitment to continue to provide them with future proof solutions in an ever changing technological environment”, said Daniel Kurgan, Chief Executive Officer at BICS. “This new IP-based interconnection model is the way forward and we are happy to support our operator customers’ move to an “all-IP” environment, which will bring them greater efficiency and business profitably”.
