The Most Detailed Competitive Intelligence
Available on Mobile Roaming Vendors
The Kaleido Vendor Hub provides the industry’s most thorough assessment of roaming vendors’ product offerings.

Updated annually, the research is based on extensive primary and secondary research, conducted over a 5-month period involving more than 500 hours of research. The process covers all established roaming vendors, enabling like-for-like comparisons of product capabilities which also enables all vendors included to be assessed equally and on their own merits.

Kaleido’s 2024 Vendor Hub has been expanded, now assessing 61 separate vendors across nine product and services categories. Each vendor is active across one of the nine roaming product categories assessed, receiving product score(s) alongside company-specific profiles to give clear and impartial analysis to inform vendor positioning and competitive benchmarking.

Kaleido’s method entails categorising and evaluating vendors based on their product excellence, recognising each company’s distinct market positioning, problem-solving skills, innovative prowess, and their ability to align with current market needs and future demands.

Report assessment include:

Technological capabilities and product strengths
Insights into product innovation and future business prospects
Analysis of vendor partners and key customers
Analysis of the scoring results

Kaleido Score for each vendor is included. This is determined by an assessment of 150+ scoring criteria per company. These criteria encompass evaluations of the company’s positioning, industry-specific performance, competitive advantages associated with the product or technology platform, as well as an analysis of key strengths, innovation, and future business potential.

Operators: Use the Vendor Hub to get a clear idea of which vendors deliver the leading roaming services best suited to their needs.

Roaming Vendors & Wholesale Service Providers: The Vendor Hub highlights the technology leadership of key vendors including individual strengths and unique market positioning verses competitors
