THE INTERNATIONAL ROAMING TEAM (IRT)

PROVIDES DEDICATED CARRIER RESOURCES

TO ENABLE THE RAPID EXPANSION OF CDMA

INTERNATIONAL ROAMING.

Through the International Roaming Team (IRT), the

CDMA Development Group (CDG) brings together

leading carriers, technology providers and industry

consultants from around the world to enable

international roaming across CDMA2000® networks.

The IRT also facilitates inter-standard roaming

allowing CDMA2000 WorldMode™ (multi-mode)

devices to roam across GSM/GPRS/EDGE,

UMTS/HSPA, Mobile WiMAX and LTE networks.

The CDG assigns regional Carrier Relations

Managers (CRMs) to work directly with carriers to

facilitate the implementation and continued expansion

of CDMA roaming. Through partnerships with carriers

and vendors, CRMs deliver real-world roaming

solutions that meet current and future roaming needs.

Carrier Relations Manager (CRM)

Offering individualized guidance in makingdecisions for CDMA international roaming

Drawing from years of industry business and

technical experience, the CRM provides the

carrier with a comprehensive solution to the

unique challenges associated with interna-

tional roaming. CRMs act as the liaison to a

variety of industry contacts, ensuring that

sound business relationships are developed.

The IRT works with carriers to identify roam-

ing requirements and coordinate technical

resources; pre-qualify partner networks;

select preferred network architectures and

implementation models; and solve network

incompatibilities. Their hands-on approach

delivers international roaming solutions

ranging from the exchange of information to

network troubleshooting.

Whatever the roaming need, CRMs will facil-

itate the solution:
