Lemko Corporation and SwitchEx are pleased to introduce Cloud Based Roaming and Interconnect Services for operators with Node1 fourth generation cellular systems. SwitchEx delivers immediate global roaming and interconnect to Tier 1 cellular and SS7 landline.
“SwitchEx has roaming agreements in place with some of the largest cellular carriers in the world,” states Richard Stupansky Jr., Chief Operating Officer of SwitchEx. “We eliminate the lengthy time frame of implementing roaming agreements while providing low roaming rates, thereby delivering an excellent business case for carriers with Lemko’s Node1 systems.”
“Lemko’s Node2 has completed rigorous compatibility testing with each carrier through SwitchEx,” adds Chris White, Executive Vice President of Lemko. “We are excited to be the platform for this money saving solution for roaming through SwitchEx at a time when inter-operability and roaming are critical.”
Lemko’s Node2™ provides cloud based gateway and MME (Mobility Management Entity) functions for Lemko’s broadband wireless core solutions. It acts as a bridge between Lemko’s Node1 all-IP next generation network and legacy cellular networks. Node2 delivers full roaming and hand-off interoperability with legacy cellular operators. This approach delivers very low operations expense and high flexibility of an IP network while providing interoperability with existing cellular systems.
