Key Drivers Supporting Growth in the Wholesale Roaming Market

The emergence of technology has given the M2M industry a boost. It has led customers to realize the importance of global connectivity for all devices, low entry costs for mass deployments, and integrated solutions for disparate systems.

Questions and developments in the M2M roaming community are primarily being sparked by these factors. Since it has grown in importance over time, many operators are intending to incorporate a roaming analytics suite that includes silent roamer monetization, focused campaign management, and roaming fraud prevention.

WHC Teams Direct Connect, developed for the channel market and access to partners, has been launched by BT Wholesale. Further, businesses can use the cloud-based Wholesale Hosted Communications (WHC) alternative to access external calling for Microsoft Teams that used WHC Teams Direct Connect.

Benefits include quick deployment with minimal need for specialized IT support.

WHC Teams Direct Connect, according to BT Wholesale, offers quick and simple deployment without the need for long wait times, as well as competitive pricing, savings on IT development, and training for end users. Flexibility allows partners to combine Hosted PBX, Hosted SIP Trunking, and Teams to create the best solutions for clients.

Restraints Affecting Demand in the Wholesale Roaming Market

There are certain barriers standing in the way of quick, streamlined, and effective wholesale roaming in clearing and settlement procedures. Some of the restraints include long average times taken to clear, settle, and pay collaborators, increasing operation expenditure for legacy and latest technological implementations with limited opportunities for monetization conflicts. Consequently, this results in write-offs, bad debt situations, and delays in receiving payments.

Comparison of Revenue (2018 to 2022) vs Forecast to 2033

According to Future Market Insights Analysis, historically the market value of the wholesale roaming market increased at around 3.9% CAGR between 2018 and 2022. With an absolute dollar opportunity of USD 20.3 billion from 2023 to 2033, the market is projected to reach a valuation of USD 60.9 billion by 2033.

Wholesale roaming fees are negotiated as inter-operator tariff rates are assessed by the visited network provider to the home network operator in exchange for allowing the latter's customer to utilize the infrastructure of the visited MNO. Along with the expansion of 5G and IoT roaming services, it brings with it an increase in complexity.

The wholesale roaming trading and settlement operations are crucial components of the machine. Further, the administration of inter-operator payments is a crucial component of enabling roaming business.

The clearing and settlement procedure for wholesale roaming allows for this. Also, the standard for this procedure was established by GSMA working groups with the intention of facilitating a quick time to market for roaming facilities.

  • Vodafone Oman has hired Syniverse to facilitate 5G roaming services within the Sultanate of Oman. By utilizing a strong set of cloud applications created to digitize and optimize all workflows required by the operator to handle its 5G roaming business, Vodafone Oman might increase efficiency with the help of Syniverse's Clearing and Settlement way to solve. Further, through using GSMA's Billing and Charging Evolution (BCE) industry protocol, Vodafone Oman is also going to profit from Syniverse's Roaming Scam Safety and Universal Commerce for BCE strategies.
  • A blockchain-based solution called Universal Commerce for BCE facilitates 5G-enabled monetization models like network slicing and the monetization of the Internet of Things.
