All report content is delivered in the English language.

Key Findings

The report scored Syniverse as the leader in the IPX market; followed by BICS, iBASIS, and T Wholesale. Syniverse ranked as the market leader due to its extensive IPX capacity and mobile network operator connections, early satellite interconnect, AI, and analytics.
5G Standalone (SA) is a critical focus for IPX vendors at present; driving significant investment from them as mobile network operators increasingly expect it to be built into the IPX roadmap. A key decision for IPX providers at present is around SEPP, with IPX vendors determining their SEPP strategies and launching services such as Hosted SEPP.
Automation is critical for IPX vendors to manage increasingly complex IPX operations. Providers are investing in automation to reduce operating expenditure, shorten deployment timelines, and simplify security and other management operations.
Satellite interconnect is an emerging opportunity for IPX vendors, with players such as Syniverse and BICS already working with satellite providers for interconnect with mobile networks. The market for satellite connectivity is quickly growing, with mobile network operators wanting to connect their terrestrial networks to non-mobile networks.
