The signaling interfaces they utilize will become more vulnerable to nefarious acts, leaving MNOs and their customers exposed to network data and user ID theft, especially as new IoT devices are introduced. This new teaming agreement further aligns the portfolios of two industry leaders, making it easier for MNOs and MVNOs to protect their networks and their customers and ensure service quality is maintained while roaming.”
