ATLANTA, United States-The CDMA Development Group (CDG) said it formed cdmaConnect, a program providing an end-to-end Interim Standard-41 roaming solution to CDG-member operators outside North America and new personal communications services (PCS) operators in the United States.
Developed in conjunction with GTE Telecommunications Services Inc. and Cibernet, cdmaConnect provides services for code division multiple access (CDMA) carriers providing roaming. The program includes a standard inter-carrier roaming agreement, data clearing, financial settlement, billing standards, call validation and delivery, fraud management, and connectivity.
The CDG said it will administer the cdmaConnect program and provide a forum for operators to address business issues related to global cdmaOne roaming over IS-41.
