Decentralized Telecom Ecosystem

International mobile roaming is a service that allows mobile users to continue to

use their mobile phone or other mobile device to make and receive voice calls and

text messages,browse the internet, and send and receive emails, while visiting

another country.

Roaming extends the coverage of the home operator’s retail voice and SMS

services, allowing the mobile user to continue using their home operator

phone number and data services within another country. The seamless extension

of coverage is enabled by a wholesale roaming agreement between a mobile

user’s home operator and the visited mobile operator network. The roaming

agreement addresses the technical and commercial components required to


enable the service.

Intermediaries like clearing house and roaming agreements increases the roaming

cost for the subscriber.

Every operator needs to set up a roaming agreement with other operators.So that

they can avail the service of operators outside of their coverage area.It is a time

consuming and costly process which in turn increases the customer’s roaming

charges.

Solution -
When subscriber visits a new area which is out of coverage for their home network

operator ,they will get a list of operators and offers by operators in that area.

Subscriber can choose any offer and directly create a request to their home

operator to avail that offer service . After that, a smart contract agreement b/w

home operator and visitor operator is created . Home operator sends some

amount of user’s balance to the smart contract. Visitor operator then ensure via

smart contract that visitor operator will get paid after providing service.Visitor

operator downloads the operator’s network profile in to subscriber sim card and

activate the service. After providing service visitor operator will send a report to

smart contract.Smart contract will process the report and send required service fee

to the visitor operator.
