Recognition highlights Arelion's leadership in quality, scalability and flexibility for enabling global roaming services
Stockholm, October 14, 2026 – Arelion, a leading provider of global connectivity services, today announced that it has been recognized as a leading IPX Transport and Signalling Provider in ROCCO's 2026 Wholesale Roaming Optimisation & Travel eSIM Report, one of the telecommunications industry's most respected independent assessments of roaming and interconnect providers.
ROCCO's analysis is based on direct feedback from mobile network operators (MNOs), which evaluate the quality, performance, innovation and customer experience delivered by their roaming and IPX partners.
The “Vendors to Watch” designation underscores Arelion's commitment to delivering the scale, efficiency, reliability and service quality operators need as roaming traffic continues to evolve, driven by 5G, IoT, enterprise applications and travel eSIM adoption.
“We're proud to be recognized as a leading IPX provider by MNOs in ROCCO’s report,” said Chris Lennartz, Director Business Development at Arelion. “This reflects the trust our customers place in our network, our people and our ability to deliver high-quality efficient roaming services at global scale. As roaming evolves through 5G, IoT and travel eSIM adoption, operators need partners that combine quality, scalability, efficiency and flexibility. We're committed to helping customers grow confidently while delivering the quality and reliability their subscribers expect.”
The ROCCO benchmark is widely regarded as a key measure of supplier performance because the results are based on verified operator feedback rather than vendor submissions alone.
As demand for 5G roaming, IoT connectivity and travel eSIM services continues to grow, quality and scalability are becoming increasingly important differentiators for operators selecting roaming partners.
Arelion's IPX services run on the company's wholly owned global network, providing operators with direct access to signaling, data roaming, IoT connectivity and 5G roaming services. The platform is designed to help operators scale efficiently, maintain service quality and support growing roaming traffic demands. Arelion's global backbone spans more than 80,000 km and carries the majority of customer traffic on-net, providing greater visibility and control over performance.
The result aligns closely with Arelion's long-standing focus on customer experience and service quality. The company has consistently invested in network resiliency, automation, analytics and customer support capabilities to help operators monetize new roaming opportunities while maintaining high service standards. Arelion's IPX portfolio supports services including SS7, Diameter, 5G standalone roaming, GRX, IoT connectivity and roaming analytics.
