Roaming
Roaming is a general term in
wireless telecommunications that refers to the extending of connectivity service in a location that is different from the home location where the service was registered. The term "roaming" originates from the
GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications Association) sphere. Traditional GSM Roaming is defined (cf. GSM Association Permanent Reference Document AA.39) as the ability for a
cellular customer to automatically make and receive voice calls, send and receive data, or access other services, including home data services, when travelling outside the geographical coverage area of the home
network, by means of using a visited network. This can be done by using a communication terminal or else just by using the subscriber identity in the visited network. Roaming is technically supported by mobility management,
authentication,
authorization and
billing procedures.
