Now more than ever, both business and leisure travelers want flexibility and accessibility—especially when it comes high-quality calls and fast, unrestricted data. But because of the high costs related to global data roaming, many subscribers (known as silent roamers) disable data roaming features on their devices before they travel abroad, so they can avoid costly data roaming charges.

Local Data Roaming (LDR) offers subscribers the option to use data roaming services at traditional local rates, wherever they travel in the world. And that empowers them to:

• Enjoy the local rate without changing SIM cards or devices
• Gain uninterrupted access to apps while roaming

What can Local Data Roaming help you achieve? Increase wholesale data revenue without additional CapEx or network change. Enjoy the ability to sell local data to inbound travelers without retail or SIM card cost. And generate additional voice and SMS traffic, steering users to visited networks.

Because with Local Data Roaming, two roaming operators can work together, allowing the visited operator to provide mobile internet access at the visited market rate. And that gives inbound roaming subscribers using a home operator-issued SIM an experience that's distinguished and separated from traditional standard data roaming.

Increase data roaming revenue for operators by enabling more silent roamers to use home operator-provided roaming solutions. This allows home operators to have a solution that can compete against alternative roaming solutions such as MiFi rental or local SIM card sales.

Generate new revenue by selling to silent roamers and non-roamers, keep silent/non-roamers from using alternative roaming solutions, and allow roamers to use the same SIM card, preserving identity-related roaming applications.
