Benefits of technology

The present invention is a communication exchange system that allows a group of operators who belong to a specific network to connect to a gateway / exchange. This gateway provides local data services for users who are roaming in another network. The system uses an access point (APN) to facilitate these data services for the users. The system also maintains a connection with the user's mobile device and the gateway to exchange information related to the roaming services. Overall, this invention allows for seamless connectivity for users and efficient data services in different networks.

Problems solved by technology

Hence, data roaming is currently underutilized by a factor of 25 times despite significant uptake with much reduced retail pricing and 10% increase of data roamers.
Data roaming is still the primary source of customer complaints and comprehension as it is difficult to count volume of data usage on smartphone applications given the variety of the background running usage; while voice and messaging can be easily controlled and understood by the customers via CDRs.

Abstract

The present invention provides a method and system for communication exchange to facilitate local data services for roaming users. The communication exchange includes an ecosystem of a plurality of operators, having one or more HPMN and VPMN operators. The communication exchange further includes a gateway for facilitating local data services for users, where the user is roaming in a visited network (VPMN) over existing roaming relationship between the VPMN and a home network (HPMN), by configuring an Access Point Name (APN) of the users. The communication exchange further includes an interface maintaining a bi-directional connection with the gateway to exchange information related to the roaming services, and a bi-directional connection with users via their mobile devices' user interface.
