Challenge: How to maximize Roaming Revenues?
Solution: CIBER Delivers to the Bottom Line.

C I B E R - the Cellular Intercarrier Billing Exchange Roamer record is a proprietary protocol and specification for the exchange of roaming billing information, for voice and data, among wireless telecommunication companies, their billing vendors and data clearinghouses.

Unquestionably, the most important aspects of an operator’s roaming operation are the timely and accurate exchange, settlement, billing, and collection of roaming related revenues. The CIBER record was designed specifically to address these industry requirements. The CIBER record and protocol utilize standardized formats and procedures for the acceptance and/or rejection of roaming service details, including:

• Uniform record lengths and sequences
  
• Detailed field level specifications and definitions
  
• Robust edit and validation criteria
  
• Proven billing and accounting processes
  
• Revenue assurance procedures

In Today’s Competitive Marketplace, the ability to bill for all types of wireless services is a must. The CIBER record supports the intercarrier billing for these services today:

• Voice & Air Time
• Toll or Long Distance
• Pre-Paid Services
• Short Message Services
• Circuit & Packet Switched Data
• Inter-Network Charges
• Miscellaneous Surcharges & Taxes

CIBER records are exchanged among wireless operators to facilitate carrier to carrier financial settlement and carrier to end user billing for roaming related charges.
