Belgacom International Carrier Services Certified as GSMA Compliant Roaming Hub
Belgacom ICS, a leading global wholesale carrier, today announced the successful completion of the self-certification process of its Open Connectivity Roaming Hub. With the Open Connectivity (OC) Initiative, the GSMA is looking for new ways to set up Interconnection and Roaming relationships between mobile operators through a hub as an alternative to implementing one-to-one roaming relationships across the world’s 750+ GSM networks. This follows the existing achievements of the Open Connectivity SMS Interworking Hub for which Belgacom ICS was the first to be certified. Thanks to the Open Connectivity SMS Hub, any mobile subscriber is now able to exchange two-way SMS’s with other subscribers connecting via other GSM networks.
