Key Benefits

Global footprint

One connection to TNS provides more access to mobile operator technologies than any other hub provider. The combination of direct connectivity to wireless providers and interconnections with peering providers and partner networks provides you with a truly global roaming footprint.

Flexible connectivity

Multiple options are available for connectivity including point-to-point private line DSO, DS1/E1, DS3, and VPN, utilizing the SIGTRAN protocol suite.

Network efficiency and reliability

TNS has minimized the length of SS7 links by building closer to the regional networks and offering multiple points of interconnect.   Gateway STPs are interconnected to each other and to regional networks creating redundancy and ensuring reliability.

Global roaming support

TNS supports international roaming for both GSM and CDMA operators.  For GSM operators, TNS provides full SCCP transport and ANSI/ITU conversion services. For CDMA operators, international roaming complications such as point code resolution and/or protocol conversion are managed through an intelligent message processor.

Value-added services

Optional roaming monitoring and reporting tools work in conjunction with Mobile Signaling to provide real-time information for troubleshooting, monitoring network integrity, and strategic planning.
