Roaming Management System
CBOSSroam provides end-to-end interaction with roaming partners including mutual set-off, which is especially important for telecom operators having a widespread dealer network.
CBOSSroam features an independent database containing roaming-related objects only, including roaming partner attributes (roaming agreement, account, tariff, switch, etc.) and general subscriber data (IMSI ranges). This reduces billing system load and drives efficient roaming provision.
System Operation
- Call distribution subsystem processes CDR files from the switch, distributing them across two subgroups: home network calls and roaming calls. Home network calls are downloaded and rated by the telco’s billing system, whereas roaming calls are rated by CBOSSroam.
- CBOSSroam exchanges roaming-related data (roaming files, fraud statistics files, reports, and bills) with roaming partners
- Roaming partners may browse the data via web interface.
Key Features
- Roaming agreement support
- Distribution of call records
- Automated reception, generation and mailing of roaming files, RAP-files, and fraud statistics
- Automated rating of roaming files and fraud statistics
- Reject & Return technology
- Billing support
- Verification of inbound roaming bills
- Informational support of roaming partners.
Integration
CBOSSroam can integrate with CBOSStmn Telecommunications Management Network. It allows Main Node operators to get auto-notifications of scheduled reports, system failures, and errors.
CBOSSroam can also integrate with CBOSSdss Decision Support System and CBOSSudr User Defined Reports.
Benefits
- Independent software/hardware solution and CDR flow distribution boost performance of the roaming procedures: generation and processing of roaming files, RAP files, and fraud statistics. This improves cooperation with roaming partners, provides effective control over roamer debts, and enables real-time balance enquiries.
- CBOSSroam is an alternative to the classical "one-to-one" settlement scheme, as it provides centralized settlements with the roaming partners. This is especially important for multi-branch operators.
- CBOSSroam operates 24X7 in the automatic mode, independent of the host billing system
- User-friendly interface provides efficient and easy-to-use tools for roaming data retrieval.
