Global Roaming eXchange (GRX)

Worldwide mobile data services at your customers’ fingertips
With the advent of 3G, end users expect their mobile operators to provide them with mobile data services wherever they are. To provide your customers with global access to data mobile services - whether mobile banking, e-mail, Internet or news feeds from their terminals, you need to interconnect and roam with other GPRS mobile operators. GRX answers your requirements.

Meet your customers’ expectations through international data roaming services
