Why do C-RIET • The challenge • Not all carriers provide roaming coverage maps to their roaming partners in the most usable format with the most valuable information • This limits the ability for a carrier to fully market and support roaming coverage • Revenue is left on the table or wasted • Maps are not the only thing that need to be exchanged • Roaming Partner Qualification Forms • Technical Data Sheets
The Answer • Build an on line tool to easily exchange documents among carriers • Carriers upload files and grant permission to those they want to be able to download those files • CDG doesn’t manipulate the format of the files • Carriers decide which documents they want to upload
Next Steps For the Repository • We have the test repository in place • A small trial with a few carriers was conducted finishing in early March • Very positive feedback from users • Several enhancements are in the works to provide additional functionality mainly focused on security and increased usability • Once the next round of enhancements are complete the repository can go into production
Enhancements • File access requests • Should these go to the person who uploaded the file or the company POC? • Enhancements • Security features • Remove email addresses and replace with forms to email contacts (spam protection) • Create a profile for carriers which can be saved to avoid having to grant permission by carrier for each file. • Reduce file clutter on first page and provide additional view options.
Next Steps For Mapping • It is time to address the details of mapping formats • Short term goal • Create a set of requirements for coverage exchange between carriers so carriers can immediately begin to provide standardized mapping information to partners • Long term goal • Create an on line coverage repository where carriers can access their partners roaming coverage information in the agreed upon standardized format
