Syniverse to Grow Global IPX Footprint with Points of Presence in Frankfurt and Marseille

Syniverse today announced that it will add points of presence (POPs) for its IPX network in Frankfurt, Germany, and Marseille, France, in the first quarter of 2013. The new locations add to Syniverse's (News - Alert) global IPX footprint, which will include 16 POPs across North America, Asia Pacific and Europe.

"We are committed to making connecting as easy and cost effective as possible for our customers by building out IPX POPs in even more locations worldwide," Syniverse Network Senior Vice President John Wick said. "Existing POPs in London and Amsterdam have helped many of our European customers access the network, and we expect the new connection points to extend these benefits to even more mobile service providers globally."

The Syniverse IPX Network Solution provides a carrier-grade connection to Syniverse via a global all-IP network that currently serves nearly 100 mobile service providers worldwide. Syniverse's IX also offers one-stop access to the company's full suite of mobile solutions, facilitating a "one connection, multiple services" approach that reduces costs and boosts operational efficiencies by reducing the number of network connections a mobile service provider must manage. The network is backed by unmatched service reliability, with 24x7, 365 monitoring by Syniverse Command Center locations in Tampa, Fla., USA, and Bangalore, India.

As end-user expectations for ubiquitous high-speed data access intensify, IPX also is playing a critical role as the network backbone that makes LTE (News - Alert) roaming possible. Syniverse's solution in particular has supported mobile service providers through LTE roaming trials, and its IPX network is now being used to facilitate the first commercial LTE roaming into North America.

"In addition to the efficiency and quality benefits, our customers know IPX is the backbone for the next generation of roaming services that their end users are increasingly demanding," Wick said. "Just as we have with every other critical mobile technology transition over the past 25-plus years, we're leading the way by providing the vital interoperability solutions necessary to ensure a seamless experience for end users as they traverse LTE, Wi-Fi, 3G and 2G networks - or anywhere in between."
