Polystar GRQ
The Global Roaming Quality (GRQ) project (within the GSMA) has defined a standard framework for monitoring
end-to-end roaming quality of service. The framework consists of a set of KPIs for three different services (voice,
SMS and data). The framework is created in order to make it possible for operators to sign Roaming SLAs
between each other.
The Polystar OSIX GRQ solution provides reports and alarms based on quality degradation and volume deviations, in addition to many
end-to-end monitoring capabilities between operators and their roaming partners.
The solution is an integrated system (probes & software applications) enabling easy roaming quality management. Our solution will help
operators to increase efficiency and improve roaming profit margin at the same time.

Real-time alarms
Probes are placed on all the interconnect links, both traditional E1s and GRX (TCP/IP
interconnect for Gn traffic). qGate will capture ISUP, MAP, and Gn traffic on those links
and aggregate the data based on reference data (roaming parameters for the different
roaming partners) and in accordance with the GRQ framework. The results are presented
in a number of reports, all based on the specification from the GRQ framework.

Service accessibility
Connection establishment
Connection sustainability
Connection quality
The information presented is based upon live traffic and the operator is presented with
a greater and more in-depth view of customer experience and service quality. This is a
cost-effective solution that can also be expanded to national traffic. Due to the wealth
of features and capabilities of our solution, it is possible to share the capital expenditure
with other departments within the business who will also see benefit from the system.
Managers from CEO level to interconnect planning will gain access to various scheduled
reports about roaming volumes and KPIs and profitability.
Engineering, Network Management Centres and Roaming Engineers will see increased
visibility of service performance through the user-friendly interfaces for setting alarms and
performing root-cause analysis. Furthermore, they can test new interconnect partners
performance to ensure end-to-end service is kept to the highest possible standard.
This report shows the roaming quality for the inbound roamers
visiting the selected roaming partner.
