Roamware, a provider of mobile roaming and financial services solutions, has announced the latest version of its Service Delivery System platform, SDS 7, which is said to enable it to rapidly develop and deploy mobile operator services with reduced roll-out costs and greater speed to market. Roamware's SDS Platform is currently installed across 400 mobile operator networks in over 150 countries and offers more than 30 applications. Thirty-two patents for the Roamware SDS platform have been granted and additional 200 are pending.
Roamware's EVP of Engineering Avnish Chauhan commented, "Global operators are increasingly demanding much shorter application development and deployment cycles. Today the timeframe needed for deployment of new products and services is in days instead of weeks. In line with our product vision of ‘roaming in a box' solutions, SDS 7 has been architected to incorporate application design patterns which significantly reduce development time and enable operators to commercialise services more quickly and deploy and deliver services which provide significant ROIs."
John Jiang, CTO and EVP of Product Management added, "SDS 7 revolutionises service management and deployment by enabling inversion of control, where network integration of the core platform simplifies application deployment and configuration and makes roll out of multiple services on demand extremely fast."
SDS 7 has been developed on a standard modular platform architecture with advanced functionality that is completely hardware agnostic. Key features include an inbuilt quality testing capability which reduces the months of testing time usually commonplace with core network applications. The new platform is designed to co-exist with the existing applications in addition to 'significantly' improving efficiencies in transaction processing and load management. The ultra modular structure of the platform is designed to support a range of existing and emerging wireless technologies including 3G and LTE.
