Sybase 365 and Belgacom International Carrier Services (Belgacom ICS) have announced a formal GRX peering agreement for a data roaming point in Singapore. The agreement was made in recognition of increasing GPRS traffic and GSM usage throughout the Asia-Pacific region. It is the first peering agreement of two global GRX providers in the country. 
Currently, all GRX networks peer in Amsterdam, says said Patrick George, Vice President, Marketing & Product Management at Belgacom ICS. Utilizing a new peering point in Singapore significantly reduces the distances that roaming data traffic has to cover when travelling between two mobile operator networks in the Asia-Pacific region. For our operator customers subscribers, this will mean faster and more reliable data connectivity while roaming in the region, much more responsive web browsing and quicker email exchange.
This new GRX peering will enable the two companies respective GRX operator customers to exchange mobile data regionally and internationally, providing an alternative to local GRX providers, with a much stronger capacity at a global level.
