Following our success in the 2023 iteration of the Rocco Hackathons, where we took home the gold in both the roaming and messaging competitions, we were eagerly awaiting the return of the competition in 2024. The hackathon format encourages quick thinking, creativity, ambition and innovation. These traits are parts of the DNA in Cellusys, making this competition a particular favourite of ours.
The partnership between Yaana and Cellusys aims to automate the roaming process using open APIs, eliminating manual configuration and improving operational efficiency. Currently, operators manually configure steering based on Yaana's forecasts, but with API integration, this process becomes automated, ensuring accuracy and operational efficiency. Yaana can also benefit from Cellusys's signalling data for better modelling and forecasting, improving overall performance and accuracy.
As roaming complexities grow with 5G, VoLTE, and IoT networks, automation becomes essential for operators. Traditionally simpler, roaming now faces challenges like data usage and network technologies. Event-driven steering by Cellusys tackles this by automating actions based on real-time analytics. This proactive approach ensures prompt issue resolution, enhancing the roaming experience. With preemptive and corrective strategies, operators make informed decisions upfront and adjust dynamically to real-time events. In summary, embracing automation empowers operators to efficiently navigate roaming complexities, ensuring seamless experiences for subscribers while optimizing resources.
RoamBot is a global, centralised, standardised, API-drive platform that automates the roaming testing process with APIs. This includes network configuration, IREG and TADIG testing, billing verification, and commercial launch.
