Some operators have recently begun to employ anti-SoR (Steering of Roaming) practices. Anti-SoR is defined as “any technical network-based methods that can effectively frustrate, counteract or undo the effect of SoR when applied without the consent or participation of either the Roaming Subscriber or the HPMN Operator” (BARG BA.30).
The Starhome® Roaming Shield™ solution allows mobile operators to detect and block potential anti-SoR activities used by visited network operators on outbound roamers. The solution provides the operator with anti-SoR focused alarms and comprehensive anti-steering analysis reports enabling further investigation of the potential “violator.”
The Roaming Shield is one of many advanced Next Generation SoR technologies and features from Starhome that ensure you have the best possible roaming management available.
