When roaming, voice calls and data sessions typically need to be routed back to the domestic ‘home’ network of the subscriber – adding latency and reducing data transfer rates and call quality. By treating subscribers more like domestic home subscribers, Truphone is able to reduce latency and provide data rates and voice quality akin to that on a subscriber’s home own network.

The paper explores Truphone’s international performance and network architecture. Truphone’s use of international network access arrangements and the intercontinental positioning of core network elements means that, compared to the roaming architecture of a typical mobile operator, Truphone provides:

- Faster data transfer speeds

- Improved voice call quality

- Better monitoring of network performance

Organisations are increasingly international in both their outlook and their operations. This is being driven by developments in the global economy and the search for new partners, as well as access to travel and communications. As a result, businesses are making greater use of a global network of customers, suppliers and partners. IDC refers to this network as the International Extended Enterprise.

Over half (52%) communicate with international customers, partners and colleagues several times a day, but were less likely to travel and meet them in person. In fact, 40% travel just once or twice a year, in comparison with the 28% average across all respondents.
