Telenor Global Services enables 4G roaming in Russia and Europe

Press release

Telenor Global Services (TGS), the LTE Roaming Exchange and the gateway for the Telenor Group, has played a key role in establishing 4G roaming as a premise for Telenor Norway in offering their first international LTE roaming agreements with MTS Russia, KPN (Netherlands) and Swisscom.

As the proliferation of 4G/LTE networks increases along with the growing penetration of 4G/LTE devices, customers are increasingly dependent on and accustomed to the data speed 4G/LTE offer. Customers that have the 4G/LTE availability in their home country, expect nothing less when they are out travelling in other countries.

In contrast to 2G/3G, 4G/LTE reside on an all IP technology and as such represent a new generation in the mobile standard. This shift in technology entails a whole new solution for technical interconnects as well as new peering agreements. Utilizing the IPX platform, TGS has established new peering agreements with its international partners in order to secure 4G/LTE connectivity between the its customers roaming partners.

“We are happy to partner with TGS in order to reach out with 4G/LTE roaming to our customers. TGS has established new IPX and LTE peering agreements with their international partners in order to secure 4G/LTE connectivity all the way to our roaming partners, and to extend the global 4G/LTE roaming coverage.”, says Jan-Helge Kvilstad, Service Manager in Telenor Norway International Services.

TGS will continue to expand the global 4G/LTE roaming coverage in the months to come.
