Our Portfolio
Through a single interconnection, Sparkle’s IPX Platform enables IP Data Services by providing immediate direct reach to all mobile operators worldwide. Sparkle’s customers can access high quality voice and mobile data services such as Data Roaming Engine (GRX), Signalling services - SS7/SIGTRAN (2-3G) and LTE/Diameter (4G) - SMS/MMS Hub, HD Voice and other innovative services including VoLTE, Instant Messaging, Presence, Videoshare and 5G NSA transport.
Sparkle’s IPX platform is able to support the development of new IP-based services and to guarantee a high level of inter-operability with a worldwide reach between various service providers.
The solution is built over a carrier grade proprietary MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) backbone with higher speed, increased reliability and QoS.
Sparkle PGWaaS, is a Service based on Roaming Local Breakout capability (LBO), the mechanism that allows data traffic to exit (or "break out") closer to the user’s location instead of routing it through the home network or distant core infrastructure. This is particularly useful for roaming users and IoT latency-sensitive deployments (e.g. High-Frequency Financial Trading, Autonomous Vehicles, Smart Factories, Telesurgery, Cloud Gaming, AR/VR, Drones, Air Traffic Control, etc.). Roaming data traffic can be handled locally rather than being sent back to the home country or a central data center.
PGWaaS is addressed to:
- Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) seeking improved data performance and cost savings
- Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) looking for efficient data traffic management solutions
- Sparkle Multi-IMSI (ORS) Customers
PGWaaS major benefits:
- Ultra-Low Latency: By routing traffic locally instead of through a remote gateway, latency is drastically reduced. This is critical for real-time applications like video streaming, cloud gaming, IoT, and VoIP. Additionally, when a user roams in a foreign network, LBO allows to access local content faster, improving browsing and app performance
- Optimized Network Performance: Less congestion and faster speeds improving Quality of Service (QoS) and user experience
- Regulatory & Compliance Benefits: Some countries require certain types of data traffic to be handled locally due to data sovereignty laws
If the customer is interconnected with a SPARKLE IPX-GRX peer nearby, the benefits are maximized. However, we can also offer the solution even with a non-SPARKLE IPX-GRX peer.
Sparkle has a continuously expanding network of owned PGWs as a part of existing owned core network around the world, with presence in Europe, the Americas and more.
Sparkle Global Signalling enables international roaming (e.g. registration, authentication messages, location update and SMS) with the highest possible QoS.
It supports both SS7/SIGTRAN and Diameter protocols enabling inter-operability and worldwide signal routing, as well as 5G SA transport.
Created for Mobile Network Operators intending to provide global roaming services to their end subscribers’ customer base, Global Signalling is also suitable for other players needing international signalling connectivity.
The service is built on top of a secure, QoS enabled IPX Service and provides customers with LTE core network topology hiding, limiting both exposure to potential security attacks and sharing of the network topology layer with roaming partners.
Signalling Protection Suite is a sophisticated all-in-one package that offers a complete portfolio of Protection Services from audit to active prevention to mobile operators, telco groups and multinational customers in vertical segments. Sparkle Signalling Protection Suite leverages on other MNOs' lessons learned to prevent attacks from hackers, fraudsters and foreign security services guaranteeing a short time to market.
Sparkle Roaming Analytics provides MNOs with (near) real-time advanced business intelligence tools that analyse international mobile connectivity and roaming business (incoming & outgoing) based on algorithms which correlate different types of feeds such as Signalling, GRX/IPX, LTE/Diameter and TAP files. Analysis insights create an improved Roamer User Experience.
The solution provides Mobile Connectivity KPIs on Volumes & QoS with aggregated data per operator, (near) real-time Roaming QoE KPIs & transactions as also Roaming Business KPIs with granular data.
Outbound Roaming Solution (ORS) is an outsourced opportunity for mobile operators to enable, with a single point of contact, instant access to all roaming services with a worldwide coverage reach to increase mobile operator competitiveness and to generate new premium revenue stream.
VAS services can support you in reducing roaming costs and deliver improved services to your customers.
Sparkle’s Data Clearing Services complete the offering including validation, verification, conversion and processing of TAP files as well as the whole reporting to the customers.
