<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>NEW DELHI: The total number of 5G roaming connections<\/a> will surge 900% in four years, from 53 million in 2023 to 526 million by 2027, according to a report by Juniper Research released Monday.

“This substantial growth will require the development of new roaming tools that are able to autonomously identify roaming connections as
5G<\/a> connectivity proliferates,” the research firm said in the report.

It added that artificial intelligence (AI)-based real-time analytics and roaming fraud mitigation services are two critical solutions that will enable telcos to protect their networks against influx of data traffic from roaming subscribers.

The research firm has predicted that amidst the growth of 5G roamers, these emerging traffic analytics and anti‑fraud solutions must enable the enhanced identification and authentication of roaming connections over
5G networks<\/a>.

“However, given the increased complexity of 5G networks, it anticipates current roaming analytics services will be insufficient in monitoring
5G roaming<\/a> connections, and the subsequent increase in mobile roaming data,” according to the firm.

To maximise the benefits of these new 5G roaming services, it said telcos must invest in 5G next-generation cores (NGCs) which are “highly virtualised and can more efficiently assess traffic and connectivity”.

“By deploying NGCs, roaming vendors can better protect networks’ processing power and signalling capabilities amidst rising levels of roaming data consumption. This will ensure a continuous level of service essential to attracting high-spending enterprise customers,” Juniper said.

Additionally, the research firm predicted that 5G NGCs will be imperative to enabling telcos to handle the growth of data from roaming subscribers; forecasting that 5G data roaming traffic will grow 3,500% over the next four years.

“An inability to detect roaming connections that use valuable network bandwidth risks diminishing the user experience for the operator’s own subscribers. To maintain high-quality services for their subscribers, operators must invest in roaming solutions that can efficiently identify roaming connections that consume large amounts of cellular data,” said Report author Elisha Sudlow-Poole.

“Airtel was the first in the country to offer 5G services in October 2022, and today’s mega launch is our promise to connect every Airtel customer in the country with ultra-fast Airtel 5G Plus. Our 5G rollout is on track to cover all towns and key rural areas by March 2024,” said Randeep Sekhon, CTO, Bharti Airtel.<\/p><\/div>
