Roamware wins "Traffic Redirection" patent
The U S Patent Office has recognised Roamware for its work in mobile traffic redirection - the ability for a network operator to redirect subscribers to the most advantageous network whilst roaming abroad - issuing Roamware United States Patent Number 7,072,651, entitled "Method and System for Cellular Network Traffic Redirection," and exclusive patent rights over its broadly-worded claims.
Roamware, with its "Traffic Redirection" suite of products for public mobile networks, is said to be widely recognized as the global leader in enabling the steering of roaming mobile traffic, having been the first to market with commercial traffic redirection solutions in 2003, and with more deployments worldwide today than any other roaming services provider.
"The focus and energy we invest in our patent effort preserve our competitive advantage in international roaming technology and value-added services for voice and messaging. This advantage benefits the mobile operators we serve worldwide," says Roamware CEO Bobby Srinivasan. "By working with Roamware, our customers receive the excellent standard of service expected of a global product leader, and also unmatched innovation."
The newly issued patent, entitled "Method and System for Cellular Network Traffic Redirection" is a milestone in Roamware's patent practice, marking its first issued patent. The company currently has an additional 39 unique patent applications on file in the US, with a total of over 60 in progress worldwide.
"This patent evidences Roamware as the inventor of the type of active and passive SS7 based roaming traffic redirection mechanisms which form the basis of the GSMA IR 73 guideline on Steering of Roaming," says John Jiang, Roamware CTO and company representative on the GSM Association's "Steering of Roaming" council. "The patent further solidifies Roamware's leadership position in innovation of roaming and local value added services."
