US : Syniverse Technologies announced it will provide its suite of Mobile Data Roaming Solutions to Telecom New Zealand, which operates an EVDO-based 3G high speed data and CDMA 1XRTT network. These solutions will assist Telecom New Zealand subscribers with high-speed data services when they are traveling overseas.

“Our mobile broadband 3G technologies offer subscribers data speeds that are significantly faster than any other mobile network currently available in New Zealand,” said Kevin Bowler, head of mobile marketing at Telecom New Zealand. “In order for the user experience to be seamless and trouble free when our customers are accessing the service from abroad, we need a third-party technology company like Syniverse behind the scenes to simplify the complex interconnectivity and integration with roaming partners.”

"Mobile operators throughout the world are exploring how best to offer seamless mobile data roaming services, either with CDMA 1xRTT or with other networks such as Wi-Fi or WiMax,” said Dennis Ng, vice president and managing director-Asia Pacific, Syniverse. “Our suite of Mobile Data Roaming Solutions supports all of these advanced networks by combining best practices used to offer seamless voice roaming along with new technology to support the multiple business and technical challenges associated with offering anytime, anywhere access to email, the Internet, corporate intranets and other wireless data applications.”

Syniverse’s suite of Mobile Data Roaming Solutions includes services that resolve the business and technical challenges associated with offering subscribers high speed access to desktop applications such as email, corporate networks or the public Internet via mobile phones, handheld computers or laptops. Due to the fragmented nature of high-speed data networks, service providers must form roaming relationships with multiple service providers. To facilitate these business and technical relationships, Syniverse’s suite of solutions provides:

AAA Broker Services to connect multiple roaming partners through a single connection with Syniverse
