NG IPN

Starhome’s Next Generation Intelligent Preferred Network™* (NG-IPN) solution provides operators with the ultimate tool to optimize their steering results and meet wholesale discount agreements.

Next Generation Intelligent Preferred Network is the first fully automated revenue-based Steering of Roaming (SoR) solution that monitors and detects the smallest deviation of roamers’ usage levels, profiles them, and automatically initiates adjustments of the SoR settings to where network targets have not been met, for voice, SMS and data.

In addition, Next Generation Intelligent Preferred Network provides operators with an immediate snapshot of the usage status and distribution of roamers across all networks in each visited country. The automated solution provides efficient steering results by focusing on usage distribution rather than the number of roamers.

Next Generation Intelligent Preferred Network also eliminates costly and time-consuming manual provisioning as well as manual requests for daily status reports, culminating in across-the-board efficiency and accuracy.

For operators who want to reap the benefits of both SS7 and SIM operated technologies, Starhome offers a hybrid Intelligent Preferred Network® solution for redirection of roamers.
