Deutsche Telekom Global Carrier has launched a new Point-of-Presence (PoP) in Dallas, Texas specifically designed for 5G SA roaming enablement. The newly established Dallas PoP complements the already existing Germany-based PoPs in Bamberg and Frankfurt, and will address the roaming needs of North and Latin American customers. It enables Deutsche Telekom Global Carrier to offer its full 5G security roaming portfolio in the region, including the new Group-hosted Security Edge Protection Proxy (SEPP) solutions for 5G SA roaming.
The Group-hosted SEPP for Family & Friends service was introduced earlier this year as a one-stop shop for 5G security specifically designed for operators that have already enabled 5G SA roaming. The new roaming environment ensures innovative connectivity through 3GPP’s SEPP in various configurations. They include outsourced SEPP solutions, hosted SEPP maintenance services and composite scenarios that can be tailored to each operator’s roaming security preferences and needs.
The ’Family’ part of the service is dedicated to Deutsche Telekom’s own national operators and provides them with a ‘no-man-in-the-middle’ guarantee. The ‘Friends’ part of the service is dedicated to securely connecting already established operator partners with the same guarantees enjoyed by the ‘Family’ operators, at a favorable price.
“We’re proud to now also offer our full set of roaming security solutions in the Americas, and invite all security driven operators who are not yet in our Group Hosted SEPP Family & Friends program to jointly build a secure roaming ecosystem for our industry,” said Nicholas Nikrouyan, Vice President, Voice & Mobile Solutions at Deutsche Telekom Global Carrier. “Our new Dallas PoP is based on a highly redundant cloud platform and plays a pivotal role in efficient data exchange and routing, enhancing the overall performance and security of our 5G SA roaming services.”
