NEO WORLDBusiness cases
Case 05 · GSMA-inspired wholesale roaming community

Roam globally.
Settle together.

Operators serve one another’s subscribers every day. This synthetic roaming case shows how accepted mutual charges can become a smaller community balance, ready for external settlement.

Three members. One shared picture.

NEOa1, NEOorange and NEOtelekom represent three synthetic operators exchanging roaming services. Six accepted charges create reciprocal obligations. CLU compares the same records under bilateral and community-wide netting.

Pair-by-pair netting leaves 220,000 µCLU outstanding. Community netting leaves 30,000: 86.4% less than the bilateral baseline. The opportunity is a smaller residual to settle while preserving what each operator is owed overall.

The contribution stays. The balance gets smaller.

Each accepted delivery remains in the record. Netting offsets reciprocal obligations; it does not erase anyone’s earned net position. In a real pilot, the residual can be paid through agreed money settlement arrangements.

These results measure the amount left to settle. They do not measure revenue, profit, cash already paid or operating-cost savings. All amounts use µCLU, the lab’s accounting unit.

Follow the work

From six exchanges to a net balance.

Step through the accepted deliveries, then compare pair-by-pair and community netting.

What we tested

  • The same accepted records under bilateral and community netting.
  • Every participant’s net position remains the same.
  • Replaying the events reproduces the same state.
  • Across both pilots: eight scenario variants and 56 checks passed; six regression tests passed.

Make the next test yours

  • Agree a bounded roaming scenario with interested operators: one period, one agreed valuation basis and accepted records. Compare the community result with their existing process, then test the integration and settlement arrangements.
  • The proposed operating model keeps business data with partners and provides accounting and an audit trail of their records.
  • This test uses scripted synthetic participants and values. No real payment, new public anchoring or member endorsement is claimed.

A result you can
inspect.

The report records the amounts, checks and event hashes. It includes one-way trade, a fully balanced cycle and a pre-posting Chamber ruling. Late tariff corrections and real partner integrations are future pilot work.

Executed with the existing CLU engine. This view presents recorded outputs, rather than executing the engine in your browser. A hash identifies the tested record; it is not itself independent verification of business truth. Company-style names are illustrative aliases; these are NEO’s synthetic cases inspired by Lab8ra and GSMA ecosystems.
