Brussels – 9 July, 2026 – BICS, a Proximus Global company, has been named the number one ‘Global Leader’ in sponsored roaming by Juniper Research in its Sponsored Roaming Competitor Leaderboard 2026. The ranking places BICS first among leading industry vendors and highlights its strong position in the global roaming market.
The Juniper Research Competitor Leaderboard is one of the industry’s most detailed assessments of the sponsored roaming market, benchmarking 14 leading vendors on the breadth and depth of their solutions, market presence, and capacity for innovation. According to Juniper Research, BICS leads the market in delivering access to Voice over Long-Term Evolution (VoLTE) and 5G Non-Standalone (NSA) roaming, while offering comprehensive analytics and business intelligence that helps customers monetize and optimize roaming services for subscribers and IoT connections.
The ranking reflects the strength of BICS Instant Roaming, a sponsored roaming solution that enables operators, MVNOs, and IoT players to offer global roaming services without building individual agreements with each network. It provides access to more than 700 networks across 240+ countries through a single technical and commercial agreement. Supporting key roaming technologies including VoLTE, 5G, NB-IoT, and LTE-M, the solution helps operators, MVNOs, and IoT players ensure service continuity, enhance user experience, and prepare for the next generation of roaming.
Jaymy Teh, Vice President Connect, Proximus Global, says:
“This recognition from Juniper Research reflects our continued focus on making global roaming simple, seamless, and secure for our customers. As the market evolves toward IoT, travel eSIM, and 5G-driven connectivity, we remain committed to helping operators and businesses capture new opportunities through one reliable, scalable, and future-ready partner.
