Learn the Strategies, Product Capability, and Kaleido Assessment of 22 Specialist Vendors
Kaleido Intelligence’s Roaming Vendor Hub presents the most detailed competitive intelligence available on mobile roaming, providing a full understanding of the market for all roaming vendors and wholesale service providers.

The 157-page IPX Vendor Hub report, based on extensive primary and secondary research, allows  leading IPX vendors to be compared equally and on their own merits. 

Kaleido’s  approach to competitive analysis will finally enable all roaming vendors to showcase their strengths on an equal playing field. This will enable MNOs, as well as MVNOs, to choose a vendor based on their product/service offering strengths rather than existing popularity.

Our approach focuses on categorising vendors, examining their strengths and weaknesses, identifying the company’s unique market position, problem-solving capabilities, innovation leadership and, finally, how the vendor is positioned to meet MNO/MVNO needs and requirements.

Report Deliverables:

Strengths of vendor offerings for the IPX product segment
Insight into company strategy and its key strengths, alongside a focus on product innovation
Key clients and partner evaluation, where applicable
Scoring for all roaming vendors based on:

Company positioning score: Company positioning and industry specific performance measured
Roaming product leadership score: Competitive benefits analysed specific to the platform
Innovation and future prospects score: Awarded to each vendor based on key strengths, innovation and future business scope
Kaleido Score: Overall vendor score specific to the product segment
