LEXINGTON, Mass., Nov. 27, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Telefónica Deutschland, one of the leading integrated telecommunications providers in Germany, serving the most attractive mobile service market in Europe, has chosen iBasis, the leading IPX provider, to expand their IPX cooperation to cope with increasing mobile data traffic. The iBasis IPX will provide Telefonica Germany with increased capacity to 100 Gigabits per second (Gbps) and enable them to deliver reliable, high-speed data roaming services to their subscribers,
"Customer demand for mobile data services is increasing significantly from year to year. As a consistently customer-oriented company with the goal of becoming the Mobile Customer and Digital Champion in Germany, we adapt our technical infrastructure to these user needs with foresight, and this also applies to data roaming," says Alfons Lösing, member of the Management Board and Chief Partner & Business Officer of Telefónica Deutschland.
The achievement is a clear reflection of iBasis IPX network performance: for the second consecutive year, the iBasis IPX has been ranked as one of the top Tier One IPX Network Vendors*, highly rated by more than 200 MNOs for its leadership, i.e. strategic and local expertise and customer oriented.
“We are very pleased to strengthen our long-standing excellent relationship with one of the German market leaders in mobile services. It is important to work with market leaders such as Telefónica Deutschland as we continue to innovate in enhancing our multi service IPX network and prepare the network for upcoming demand from NB-IoT and the advent of 5G,” said Feddo Hazewindus, iBasis CEO.
One year after the end of roaming charges, subscribers are now more aware and confident in the new Roam Like Home rules in the EU and significant traffic volume increases are observed worldwide: the roaming traffic on the iBasis IPX network has doubled during summer 2018 compared to summer 2017. The iBasis IPX ecosystem is continuously enhanced to serve large-scale customers and well prepared to perform upgrades and meet customer’s traffic explosion even when it’s exceeding all expectations.
In June 2018, iBasis was recognized best IPX service provider by the Global Carrier Community in Berlin.
