3 DAYS
INSTRUCTOR LED WORKSHOP
“OUR COURSES CAN BE SPECIALLY TAILORED TO ADDRESS YOUR REQUIREMENT – TELECONTRAN”
COURSE OBJECTIVES
As every telecom operator wants to control expenditure with increasing profits and providing high Quality of Service in international roaming, it is strongly important to conduct testing in the roaming services to ensure the quality. IREG and TADIG Testing play pivotal role in ensuring roaming quality and establishing agreements among telecom operators.
The 3-day Workshop on International Roaming with IREG and TADIG Testing is specifically designed to provide an overview of International Roaming from the perspective of the importance of IREG and TADIG testing as well as different test cases of IREG and TADIG Testing, usability of TAP/RAP files, description of BCE, TADIG Code naming etc.
After successful completion of this 3-day workshop participants will be able to
- Understand International roaming as business opportunities and learn on how to deal with necessary SLA
- Learn about IREG and TADIG Testing and when and how to conduct such testing.
- Gain knowledge on TAP/RAP files, BCE, TADIG codes as per GSMAs guideline etc.
- Sketch the mandatory fields in the TAP/RAP files and different IREG / TADIG Test scenarios.
- Explain the technical aspects of international roaming using modern technologies such as 4G / LTE, VoLTE, 5G, IoT etc.
