Vodafone Carrier Services Internetwork Packet Exchange or VCS IPX is a secure, reliable alternative to the public internet enabling you to implement global, commercially sustainable internetworking and roaming services with unmatched customer experience.
The VCS IPX platform supports signalling, voice over our Intelligent Routing platform and data roaming connectivity through our extensive MPLS global footprint. We own one of the world’s largest IP/MPLS networks, ranked in the top 10 internet providers globally.
We provide extensive reach and leading data roaming on 4G, soon on 5G in more than 100 countries
Guaranteed quality of service with more than 800 PoPs worldwide
We support Voice, Transport/GRX, GSMA Root DNS, Sigtran, Diameter, HTTP2 and other IP traffic through one interconnection
Hyperscale infrastructure, connected mobile customers and IoT devices
We are the single point of access for multiple IP-based services with flexible payment options
Global 24/7 service support for all IPX services
Have direct connection and access to 535+ million customers for IP-based voice and data services, 4G roaming in 185 countries, worldwide coverage for IPX Transport/GRX, Sigtran and Diameter over 800 international PoPs across 150 countries, 100+ direct connections, 25+ connections via peering and partnerships with all the top tier carriers.
IPX Signalling supports roaming solutions and efficient, feature-rich access to the Vodafone Messaging Hub providing service-aware, multilateral connectivity and hubbing services.
It grants access to our SS7 Network, covering the need for 2G/3G signalling and roaming, enabling global, real-time transport and delivery of SS7 messages (MSUs) over IP.
Vodafone has successfully completed a POC for 5G stand-alone roaming (signalling). Please contact us to learn more about this future service offering.
It supports 4G-enabled MNOs by facilitating the global and reliable exchange of Diameter Transactions (DTRs), providing access to our worldwide Diameter Network. The shared interface guarantees cost savings by helping the fast rollout of 4G roaming with global, real-time delivery of 4G signalling messages and interworking between mobile operators.
It enables 5G roaming by facilitating the global and reliable exchange of HTTP2 messages over IP, providing access to Vodafone’s HTTP2 network. As with the other IPX signalling services, the shared interface guarantees cost savings by helping the fast rollout of 5G roaming with global, real-time delivery of 5G signalling messages and interworking between mobile operators.
Vodafone IPX Data offers a secure IP access to our privately managed global MPLS network for a range of services with guaranteed quality classes. Vodafone IPX Data delivers global connectivity via peering arrangements with other IPX providers.
Offers guaranteed and transparent data exchange with different quality classes to all service providers. Suited for the exchange of mobile data roaming traffic with varying Quality of Service demands. It includes access to GSMA Root DNS, MMS and VoLTE roaming traffic, all of which is carried over the IPX Transport service.
Used for carrying any IP traffic which is not related to international roaming (Transport, Sigtran, Diameter, HTTP2) or Voice, taking advantage of the IPX Access in place (if any). It allows the inclusion of L3VPN services into the IPX world, avoiding the implementation of extra NNIs.
Facilitates partners to exchange voice and (in the future) video traffic with Vodafone. The IPX IVC service transports signalling and media traffic transparently between both parties.
Over 1 million km of network including terrestrial and undersea. 800 international PoPs across 150 countries. Partnerships with all the top tier carriers. Capacity on 73 cable systems, including 25 major international submarine cables.
