Wholesale operator BICS announced that its IP exchange (IPX) platform now supports LTE roaming services with over 70 operators, spanning 44 countries. BICS started offering LTE roaming in 2013, and almost 250 operators have now launched 4G, covering 92 countries.

LTE roaming requires new commercial agreements and technical interconnections between operators to support the new IP signalling infrastructure. Using BICS\'s IPX platform, service providers can exchange any IP traffic (voice, video, messaging and data) bilaterally with any IPX destination, through one single interconnection with an end-to-end management of quality. This simplifies the deployment of LTE roaming services by removing the need to engage in separate agreements with hundreds of operators.
