Enabling and Managing Roaming with 2G, 3G Technologies for a Greenfield Operator with 5G in Germany
A greenfield operator was setting up a modernized 5G network in Germany. As part of this project, they needed to install 2G and 3G network elements to support roaming services. Signaling Nodes like STP, HLR, and SS7FW were required to be deployed and commissioned to enable 2G and 3G support for the operator. Additionally, the operator requested managed services to assist with their day-to-day operations.
The Challenges
The deployment had to be completed in a 5G-ready environment across four sites. The solution was planned to go live with two sites initially, while the commissioning of the remaining two sites was scheduled afterward.
Unlike typical HLR and STP deployments, this operator's network was entirely IPv6-based, requiring all products to be configured accordingly. Additionally, a significant volume of user data needed to be migrated from an existing operator database to the new HLR database seamlessly.
The migration process involved multiple activities, necessitating 24/7 managed service support. Engineers needed to assist the operator with identifying and resolving network issues, implementing changes in HLR, STPs, and ENUM, and enabling new roaming agreements.
The Solutions
Telaverge assembled a dedicated team of deployment engineers and managed service specialists to meet the operator’s requirements.
STP, HLR, and ENUM were successfully deployed in two sites on schedule, enabling the operator to go live as planned and then the managed service team took over operations for the deployed nodes, ensuring seamless support and continuous monitoring.
The managed service team implemented, tested, and rolled out changes in HLR, STPs, and ENUM, enabling roaming support with new partners.
The team successfully migrated subscriber data from the previous operator’s database to the new 5G HLR database without disruption. Collaboration between the deployment and managed service teams facilitated the integration and go-live of the remaining two sites.
Around-the-clock managed service support ensured swift resolution of customer issues, enabling the operator to deliver high-quality services.
The Outcomes
Telaverge engineers provided end-to-end support for migrating subscribers from the previous network, ensuring a smooth transition.
The managed service team identified and resolved network issues proactively, minimizing service disruptions and improving customer satisfaction.
Configuration updates in the HLR to support new roaming agreements and billing plans were completed within the expected timelines, enabling the operator to quickly launch additional services as needed.
