Syniverse Establishes New POPs for its IPX Network in Bangalore, Mumbai

Syniverse (News - Alert), which makes mobile work for more than 900 mobile operators, cable and Internet providers, and enterprises in over 160 countries, has established two new points of presence (POP) for its IP Packet eXchange (IPX) network in Bangalore and Mumbai, India.

Officials with Syniverse said the POPs are part of Syniverse’s increased infrastructure investments designed to broaden its global reach, enhance end-user experience and decrease costs for its customers.

“With the myriad of network types that exist in the Indian marketplace and 4G rollouts on the horizon, an IPX connection is the only way mobile service providers (MSP) in India can ensure long-term interoperability and interworking,” said Alfred de Cárdenas, chief operating officer at Syniverse.

Alfred de Cárdenas said that by choosing Syniverse for IPX connectivity, MSPs will realize cost savings from connecting closer to their operations and enhance end-user quality of experience due to regionalization of network traffic.

A single set of connections to the Syniverse POPs in Bangalore and Mumbai also provide MSPs access to a global partner network for 3G, 4G, IP and signaling services.

According to company officials, the Syniverse PRIME IPX Network Solution provides a carrier-grade, five-nines connection to Syniverse via a global all-IP network that currently serves more than 80 MSPs worldwide.

Syniverse PRIME IPX also reportedly offers one-stop access to Syniverse’s full suite of mobile services, including those available as part of Syniverse’s portfolio of LTE (News - Alert) solutions. This “one connection, multiple services” approach lowers costs and boosts operational efficiencies, as it reduces the number of network connections an MSP must manage.

MSPs in India will now benefit from even more significant cost savings by choosing Syniverse PRIME IPX because they will not have to incur the cost of implementing an IPX connection outside their region.

“With consumer demands for seamless, always-on mobile services at an all-time high, MSPs must consider new ways to deliver advanced services to end users while maximizing efficiency,” said John Wick (News - Alert), senior vice president of networks, Syniverse.

Syniverse, according to to Wick, has invested heavily in infrastructure improvements in India and across the globe to ensure the solutions support these needs and ultimately allow the company’s customers to provide the highest level of service to mobile users.
