GO’s Roaming Hub solution will set up a centralized roaming management solution for mobile operators as part of GO’s hub

GO − Malta’s leading telecommunications provider − announced that it has chosen the Pyro Group as its take-to-market partner for its roaming hub solution. GO’s Roaming Hub will enable the effective management of roaming relationships with hundreds of telecom operators with single testing and single support set-up.

Forming part of the GO suite of hub services, the GO Roaming Hub has been developed in line with the specifications and guidelines put forward by GSMA. Mobile operators joining the GO Roaming Hub will have better control over their roaming services portfolio. Since no effort is required on the service fulfilment front, hub customers are able to focus on tariff negotiations and on optimising the choice of roaming locations.

Pyro, a leading mobile technology solutions provider, is an innovative company with global implementations of a wide range of Value Added Services. Pyro’s pioneering solution on roaming hub enables international roaming for prepaid and post-paid users, facilitates financial settlement and clearing, and allows airtime transfer and mobile commerce transactions between countries where Pyro’s Roaming Hub is integrated

“Roaming and interworking are key success factors for GSM popularity. International roaming, besides offering worldwide coverage, is responsible for a significant portion of every mobile operator’s revenues. With the effective management of roaming relationships, GO Roaming Hub could be the next one-stop-shop for roaming integration with a single agreement, single testing and single support set-up moving away from a resource intensive, time consuming and expensive proposition,” said GO CEO David Kay.

“We are excited about our new association with GO. By simplifying and centralising roaming management and roaming VAS, GO would be able to provide a solution that enhances roaming coverage with a faster roll-out and helps reduce costs to other mobile operators,” said SM Reddy, CEO, Pyro Group. 

The GO Roaming Hub is one of a suite of services forming part of GO Hub, a portfolio of services aimed at operators wishing to benefit from hub benefits across a range of services. More info at www.hub.go.com.mt.
