  8. General overview InterStandard Roaming Solution A: Both signalling conversion, provisioning (IIF) and gateway to worldwide GSM coverage

  9. General overview InterStandard Roaming Solution B: Same as full service however the conversion platform (IIF) is managed by the CDMA carrier. Access to GSM either by GSM sponsor or by bilateral GSM roaming agreements.

  10. General overview InterStandard Roaming Solution C: Both the conversion platform (IIF) as the GSM roaming agreements are managed internally. This is the case when the CDMA carrier also runs a GSM network.

  11. Interstandard Roaming Services • Full service Both signalling conversion, provisioning and gateway to worldwide GSM coverage Technical and commercial relation as it were a CDMA roaming agreement • Roaming Broker service Same as full service however the conversion platform is managed by the CDMA carrier. • Service based on bilateral agreements The conversion platform is managed by the CDMA carrier, but (bilateral) GSM roaming agreements are made one by one • Internal service Both the conversion platform as the GSM roaming agreements are managed internally. This is the case when the CDMA carrier also runs a GSM network.

  13. Voice • Features: • Make and receive calls; • Reachable with the same number as at home; • Call forwarding is possible. • Points of attention: • For receiving calls, MSRN ranges must be implemented at home operator; • Quality of carriers (selected by home operator); • No SLA available on roaming partner network, always on best effort.

Speed has been increased to max. 384 KB/s downlink and 64 KB/s downlink. • HSDPA (3,5G) • Overlay technology on existing UMTS network. Downlink speed is currently 1.8 MB/s or 3.6 MB/s, uplink 384 KB/s.
