Industry Participation

The mobile telecommunications industry is highly standardized. To make network technologies, billing API’s and many more modules of a mobile network interoperable with other networks there is a need for worldwide standards.

Beyond the purely technical level there is also the need for a commercial framework in which these networks can operate.

MACH is actively participating in the creation, design and maintenance of roaming standards and contributes through workgroups and taskforce participation. We believe that growth comes first and foremost from a solid standards foundation on which unique businesses can be built.
