Navigating the challenges of modern roaming
Unpredictable signalling performance
Poor quality MPLS routes and public internet routing introduce jitter and latency, impacting attach times, call setup, and overall roaming experience.
Rising diameter security exposure
Higher diameter traffic volumes increase vulnerability to DDoS attacks, malformed AVPs, and signalling abuse.
Suboptimal routing
Suboptimal routing of signalling messages leads to higher round-trip delay and poor roaming experience.
A carrier-grade platform for Diameter roaming
Tata Communications’ Diameter Signalling Exchange (DSX) delivers robust Diameter signalling for LTE, VoLTE, and 5G NSA roaming over a private global backbone. It centralises routing, mediation, and policy control while providing resilience, visibility, and operational consistency for global roaming.
DSX via dedicated MPLS connection
Enables end-to-end Diameter signalling transport for MNOs with virtual DRA and dedicated TATA’s MPLS PoP connection. Local or regional breakout for secure and low-latency signalling connectivity requirements.
DSX via IPSEC VPN connection
Enables end-to-end Diameter signalling transport for MNOs with virtual DRA and connectivity through secured and global IPSEC VPN gateways for rapid service activation and enhanced resiliency.
Diameter signalling security
Protect your network from signalling threats with our advanced Diameter firewalls - ensuring secure, reliable, and compliant 4G roaming connectivity.
DSX service with hosted DEA/DRA
A fully hosted DEA/DRA solution that connects MNO’s 4G core with our DSX, delivering smooth Diameter signalling for 4G and 5G NSA roaming.

Frequently asked questions
What is Diameter Protocol and how does it work?
Diameter is a signalling protocol used by telecommunications networks for authentication, authorisation, and accounting. It enables network elements to exchange policy, subscriber and session information.
What is Diameter Signaling used for in LTE?
Diameter signalling is used in LTE networks to exchange authentication, subscriber, policy and session information between core network elements. It also plays an important role in LTE roaming.
What is a Diameter Routing Agent (DRA)?
A Diameter Routing Agent (DRA) routes Diameter signalling messages between network elements and helps manage Diameter traffic, routing policies and network scalability.
What is a Diameter Edge Agent (DEA)?
A Diameter Edge Agent (DEA) operates at the edge of a Diameter network to manage signalling traffic between networks. It can support connectivity, security and topology protection for Diameter signalling.
How does Diameter support LTE and 5G roaming?
Diameter supports LTE and 5G NSA roaming by enabling signalling and subscriber information exchange between mobile network operators. Diameter routing, connectivity and security help operators manage roaming traffic reliably.
