This achievement is due to the entire wholesale team and makes me very proud.”

A1 Wholesale Global IPX services secure and stable
Mobile operators are always as strong as their connections. Therefore, to provide a globally stable roaming service, you need absolutely reliable IPX services like those offered by A1 Wholesale. The services include a wide range for maximum connectivity, including 5G. During 2021, a 5G signaling service will also be available. And since numbers always speak for success, A1 also offers A1 Roaming Traffic Reporting and Analytics, a comprehensive analysis tool for visualizing all types of roaming traffic.
This year´s Rocco survey has put questions along the topic how prepared vendors are to provide more connectivity in an upcoming 5G scenario.
