TOMIA’s Gateway Location Register (GLR) is a solution designed to control inbound roaming traffic, helping visited network operators increase roaming revenues and reduce associated costs. In today’s complex and competitive roaming landscape, GLR provides operators with the tools to manage silent roamers, optimize signaling, and retain high-value subscribers. The GLR supports operators in addressing market challenges such as silent roamers, regulatory constraints, and signaling inefficiencies. It combines signaling and clearing sources to relay low ARPU visitors to home network steering decisions while maintaining high-usage users.

Features

• Inbound Signaling Optimization: A flexible toolset that maximizes inbound visit duration and reduces signaling costs.
• 3GPP Standards Compliance: Fully adheres to international telecom standards.
• Signaling Control: Blocks visitors whose previous registration attempts were rejected to prevent unnecessary signaling.
• Cell Leakage Identifier: Provides statistics on inbound roamers leaking to competing networks, aiding radio coverage optimization.
• Fraud SMS Detection: Filters spam messages from third-party apps that alter SMS addresses.
• IoT Device Steering: Identifies and steers out permanent roaming IoT devices that do not generate revenue.
• Cloud or NFV Deployment: Available as a cloud-based solution or on NFV architecture.

Benefits

• Revenue Growth: Increases inbound roaming revenues by retaining high-spend users and optimizing traffic.
• Cost Reduction: Minimizes signaling costs through intelligent traffic control and filtering.
• Network Efficiency: Enhances radio coverage and reduces leakage to competing networks.
• Fraud Prevention: Protects against SMS spam and fraudulent signaling.
• IoT Management: Prevents network congestion from non-revenue-generating IoT devices.
• Regulatory Compliance: Supports operators in meeting roaming regulations and wholesale capping requirements.
