Swisscom, Switzerland: Free to roam

Swisscom launches LTE roaming, and becomes one of the first operators in the world to offer this service to its subscribers.

For Swiss consumers, network quality is considered one of the most important factors when selecting an operator. As a market with a large number of multinational corporations and business people, subscribers expect an exceptional quality of service wherever they are.

Swisscom has become one of the first operators in Europe to launch LTE roaming services. "What’s important to us is that we are innovative – we launch new services early," says Richard Schenk, Head of Mobile, Core & Authentication, Swisscom. "Traffic is growing so dramatically at the moment, both here and internationally. Our customers expect this service to be available to them abroad – and that’s why we initiated this project."

New protocol, new platform

Swisscom teamed up with Ericsson to create a solution that would allow it to swiftly implement these services. A platform was needed that would be capable of handling Diameter signaling related to LTE, and its inevitable sharp increase.

Based on the Ericsson Diameter Signaling Controller, the Swisscom-Ericsson team came up with a solution that alleviates the signaling load on the network, whilst at the same time complying with the 3GPP standards. Diameter is a new protocol for LTE, which requires certain security functions to be in place to protect Swisscom from external attacks on its network. These features include topology hiding, screening of messages and limitation of traffic.

The Ericsson Diameter Signaling Controller also makes it easier to handle traffic and connect new roaming partners, ensuring that there are no interoperability issues when deploying LTE roaming with other operators.

Consistent connectivity

As a result of the project, LTE subscribers are able to use this service while travelling to many different countries across Asia and the Americas. Services that they use at home will now also be available when roaming, with data stored in the cloud. Swisscom is now in discussion with several other international operators who are interested in initiating roaming agreements.

"The benefits for Swisscom are that the service prevents churn and attracts new subscribers who want to access its roaming service," explains Michel Soravia, Swisscom Account Manager, Ericsson. As the only Swiss operator to currently support LTE roaming, Swisscom has reinforced its position as market leader, with the ability to offer services that no other operator in the region can provide.

Frequent feedback

Overall, it was effective cooperation between the two sides that made the project so successful. Swisscom participated throughout the design phase, right up to integration. "From beginning to end, the collaboration between Ericsson and Swisscom was excellent," says Stéphane Montandon, Signaling & Roaming Engineer, Swisscom. "I really appreciated being able to offer my feedback directly to the development people, and then seeing those changes integrated into new releases soon after."

"We are satisfied with the product," says Richard Schenk. "It will enable us to connect many more roaming partners in the future, and facilitate the introduction of new services such as voice over LTE." Swisscom plans to use the Ericsson Diameter Signaling Controller for its voice over LTE deployment during the last quarter of 2013.

Customer Profile

Swisscom is Switzerland’s leading telecoms provider, with 6.3 million mobile customers and around 1.7 million broadband connections. With a presence throughout Switzerland, it offers a wide range of products and services for mobile, landline and IP-based voice and data communication. Swisscom also provides services for IT infrastructure outsourcing and management of communications infrastructures.

Huawei renews its commitment to working with the Vodafone Foundation to deliver the Vodafone Foundation Instant Network in disaster areas

Huawei, a leading global information and communications technology (ICT) solutions provider, announced it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to strengthen its existing partnership with the Vodafone Foundation.

Under the agreement Huawei, through its corporate sustainability development programme, will continue to deliver equipment and expertise to help the Vodafone Foundation provide critical network infrastructure in the aftermath of disasters. Huawei, working with the Vodafone Foundation, has developed the Vodafone Foundation Instant Network to help people and relief agencies reinstate emergency communications. The Vodafone Foundation Instant Network is fully portable, weighs under 100kg and can be packed into four suitcases and transported on commercial flights. It can be assembled and configured to provide telephone calls within 40 minutes.

Andrew Dunnett, Vodafone Group Director Sustainability and Vodafone Foundation, said: "Huawei has been an invaluable partner in our efforts to develop emergency communications networks. In little over two years, we have deployed the Vodafone Foundation Instant Network in multiple locations around the globe, helping to save lives and rebuild communities. Communications is essential for the delivery of effective disaster relief, as well playing a crucial role in reconnecting families and friends at times of crisis."

James Chen, President of Vodafone Business Unit of Huawei Technologies, said:"Communications can provide a lifeline in disaster situations. It can not only help coordinate relief efforts, but can also bring reassurance and peace of mind to victims of the disaster. Huawei is committed to more prolonged relief operations, working alongside local carriers to restore communication networks to disaster-stricken communities. This work with the Vodafone Foundation underlines Huawei’s commitment to contributing to society and sustainable development globally."

The Vodafone Foundation deployed the Vodafone Foundation Instant Network in the aftermath of Typhoon Bopha in the Philippines in December 2012, with Huawei providing technical support from Manila. The deployment was credited by relief workers for helping save lives. Humanitarian missions have also been carried out in remote Kenyan villages.

Moto X Officially Drops To $99.99 On Contract On AT&T's Moto Maker ($149.99 For 32GB Version), Sprint, And US Cellular

If you thought that the Moto X was too expensive at $199 for an on-contract phone, you're in a vocal majority. After a couple of months on the market, Motorola would seem to agree. The Moto Maker customization site was updated with the banner below this morning, dropping the price for the customized AT&T model down to just $99.99 for the 16GB version. The AT&T-exclusive 32GB model is also cheaper at $149.99.

Sprint and US Cellular have also dropped their prices, and the latter is still offering a $75 credit if you open a new line and port in your phone number, bringing the final cost down to a very attractive $24.99. Verizon's website still lists the Moto X at $199.99, so it's not yet clear if Verizon intends to lower its price or if they're going to keep the X high. Considering that they've got exclusive and very similar DROID phones to sell, it could go either way. Still, if you're hunting for deals, Amazon and Best Buy have the Verizon Moto X for $99.99 already, and Amazon is selling the Sprint model for just $79.99. Strangely, ready-to-ship Moto X on AT&T's website is still $199.99.
Mobile Nostradamus EVleaks correctly predicted this price drop way back in August. Based on the Moto Maker site and the carrier portals, the off-contract price on the Moto X is remaining regrettably high. There's also no sign of the Moto Maker customization option losing its AT&T exclusivity any time soon. Even so, I'd expect to see even deeper discounts as the holiday season approaches, and of course we'll be sure to alert you to any deals.
