Why MNOs and MVNOs need roaming backup for service continuity

Recent incidents have exposed the vulnerabilities of international roaming networks.
Disruptions cause immediate revenue loss, degrade user experience and strain partner relationships, putting wholesale operators at risk.

This roaming enablers backup solution is designed specifically for wholesale telecom operators (MNOs and MVNOs) to guarantee uninterrupted service during provider outages.
By activating a pre-configured secondary path for signaling and data traffic, roaming services remain seamless for end customers and revenue streams are protected when it matters most.

With ready-to-use backup, coordinated support and continuous monitoring, wholesale operators are equipped to face incidents head-on and maintain smooth roaming operations.

Modular, scalable, and multi-technology ready roaming enablers backup offer

Orange’s roaming backup solution relies on two complementary modules that secure all types of roaming traffic, from IP-based services to LTE signaling.
These components can be activated independently or together to match your network setup.

IPX roaming backup

  • Supports IP-based roaming services including Sigtran, Diameter and VoIP.
     
  • Ensures data continuity across all technologies from 2G to 5G NSA, including VoLTE S8HR.
     
  • Includes testing and integration support.

LTE signaling backup

  • Handles LTE roaming signaling, SMS and CAMEL-based services.
     
  • Enables secure signaling paths with international and Diameter transit.
     
  • Includes pre-activation testing and continuous service monitoring.

Answers to your most common questions

It’s a contingency service that allows international roaming traffic to be rerouted via an alternative path in case of a failure with the primary provider.

It is built for mobile network operators (MNOs) and mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs) managing wholesale roaming agreements and requiring business continuity during outages.

The backup covers data, SMS, voice and signaling services via LTE and IPX, depending on your configuration. Testing and support are also included.

Contact the support team. A crisis meeting will be initiated, and traffic rerouting steps will be coordinated to activate the backup path.
