BONN, Germany. - Friday, August 22nd 2014 [ME NewsWire]
(BUSINESS
WIRE)-- When abroad, today’s mobile subscribers expect high-speed 3G or
LTE data roaming services with best user experience. As an expert
provider of IPX roaming capabilities, Deutsche Telekom’s International
Carrier Sales & Solutions (ICSS) unit ensures fast, secure IP
exchange, especially in times of exponentially rising data volumes. It
also provides high-speed, high-quality solutions for mobile operators
around the world. In line with this strategy, ICSS has now not only
significantly increased Telekom Deutschland’s Ethernet Link to its own
IPX platform, but has also upgraded its IPX interconnection capacity at
AMS-IX, a central IP peering hub in Amsterdam.
ICSS in-house
customer Telekom Deutschland is one of the first mobile operators to
benefit from ICSS’s decision to upgrade its IPX connections. As an
indispensable partner for Deutsche Telekom Group entities, ICSS prepared
Telekom Deutschland – the biggest mobile operator in Germany – for the
summer holiday roaming peaks and the capacity demands arising from the
ongoing LTE roaming rollout by increasing the company’s Ethernet link to
4 x 10 Gigabit via its own IPX platform. As a result, Telekom
Deutschland can continue providing its roaming subscribers with seamless
data services around the globe, whereas ICSS is now one of very few
wholesalers to offer such a significant volume to mobile operators.
“We
have seen tremendous growth in the use of our services from both
current and new customers. When abroad, they want the same high-speed,
high-quality connection they have at home. Our goal is to satisfy their
data roaming expectations, today and in the future,” says Dirk Poppe,
Vice President Mobile Wholesale Roaming, Telekom Deutschland GmbH.
ICSS
provides attractive, tailored services to mobile operators around the
world, not only within the Deutsche Telekom Group. The recent upgrade of
the unit’s IPX connection at the central IP peering hub “AMS-IX” in
Amsterdam to 2 x 10 Gigabit Ethernet once again proves ICSS’s commitment
to enabling its customers to benefit from its ability to successfully
handle the rapid, continuous increase in mobile data transport.
“Our
focus is to provide our mobile operator partners with the seamless
connectivity they need to ensure superior experience to their
subscribers. The decision to upgrade our IPX connectivity at this
central IP peering hub is a further module in our strategy to offer
industry-leading IPX capacity for the benefit of our customers. They
profit from extended global reach and end-to-end quality guarantee in
times of ever-growing data volumes,” explains Holger Magnussen, Senior
Vice President International Carrier Sales & Solutions.
Job
Witteman, Chief Executive Officer (CEO), AMS-IX, comments, “We are happy
to support ICSS with this capacity upgrade at our inter-IPX peering
platform. ICSS is thus well prepared to deal with the immense growth in
LTE data volumes. This shows ICSS’s dedication to the future needs of
its mobile operator partners and their subscribers – to provide them
with the full advantages of the latest, next-generation applications for
the best in user experience.”
