Telecom Italia Sparkle extends partnership with Keynote SIGOS to ensure customer satisfaction for International Voice and Mobile Data services

TI Sparkle, the international services arm of Telecom Italia Group, and Keynote SIGOS, the specialist in test and measurement products and professional services for mobile communications, announce today the widening of their partnership on GlobalRoamer, Keynote SIGOS’s End-to-End testing solution for international carrier services. 

GlobalRoamer is based on Keynote SIGOS’s SITE test system designed to measure availability and performance of network services from a customer perspective. Services include testing of Caller Line Identification (CLI) delivery for international voice and of the availability of all mobile data services accessible on the home network when customers are in roaming.
GlobalRoamer’s current footprint grants service testing with more than 620 networks worldwide in 180 countries.

“The adoption of GlobalRoamer is part of a wider Quality Control policy that Sparkle has introduced several years ago which includes continuous monitoring of key quality performance indicators and the implementation of relevant processes to maintain quality parameters in target”, states Leonardo Cerciello, VP Voice Services at Telecom Italia Sparkle.
“Our objective is to maintain full transparency and control over the CLI delivery for international voice and provide top quality services to our customers” 

“By emulating the behavior of real roamers using mobile devices located in networks all over the world, we can quickly and preemptively identify any issues that may be occurring and implement relevant solutions before customers are actually affected”, says Fabrizio Gelli, VP Marketing Mobile Data Services at Telecom Italia Sparkle. 

“We’re continually expanding our GlobalRoamer network, allowing customers to benefit from the growing, fully managed service without worrying about maintenance,” said Adil Kaya, Managing Director at Keynote SIGOS. “. Mobile users continue to rely more and more on the services available to them on smartphones, no matter where they are around the world. As a result, it’s important that carriers know in advance what their customers truly experience on their mobiles so that they can ensure the same optimal services, regardless of their location.”
