Interstandard Roaming

The TNS Interstandard Roaming (ISR), Sponsored Roaming & Interoperability Platform allows operators to offer a variety of international & domestic roaming options to their subscribers, which extends the reach of their current roaming solutions for voice/SMS/data. Using your own native IMSI or a TNS-supplied sponsored IMSI, immediate worldwide roaming reach can be enabled for your subscribers. 

TNS’ ISR solution provides signaling control, protocol conversion, mapping, authentication, provisioning & management services along with ISR general support and customer service. TNS also provides access to a worldwide LTE and GSM roaming network as well as the clearing and settlement services for usage. With the ISR platform, your subscriber is seamlessly enabled for international roaming.
