In today’s hyper-connected world, seamless international communication is no longer a luxury but a key driver of business growth. Dutch-based Sona Business B.V., a forward-thinking telecommunications service provider, has entered into a deep partnership with IPLOOK. By deploying a next-generation mobile core network solution, Sona has successfully launched global VoLTE roaming and data services, redefining industry standards for cross-border communication. This collaboration fully demonstrates IPLOOK‘s core value in empowering operators to build scalable, highly reliable, and future-ready communication networks.
Industry Background and Challenges
Against the backdrop of increasingly frequent global business activities and personal travel, user demand for cross-border mobile services has experienced explosive growth. Sona Business B.V. keenly identified market opportunities and planned to expand its global roaming business, but faced multiple challenges during implementation:
Scalability bottlenecks: The need to support existing operations while reserving sufficient space for future user base expansion.
Stringent reliability requirements: Cross-regional services must guarantee high availability to avoid single points of failure affecting global user experience.
Insufficient deployment flexibility: A smooth transition from MVNO lightweight operations to full MNO operations was required to adapt to the needs of different market stages.
To address these challenges, Sona Business B.V. chose to partner with IPLOOK, a leader in the mobile core network field.
Core Highlights of the IPLOOK Solution
IPLOOK has tailored a global roaming solution for Sona Business B.V. built around four core capabilities:
