Mobileum Launches GlobalRoamer® Connectivity Package for the FIFA World Cup 2026 to Assure Seamless Roaming and 5G Voice Performance Across North America
27.1.2026 21:45:00 CET | Business Wire | Press Release
Mobileum Inc. (“Mobileum”), a leading global provider of analytics and network solutions, today announced a Special GlobalRoamer® package for the FIFA World Cup 2026, designed to help mobile network operators (MNOs) validate roaming readiness and maintain high-quality connectivity during one of the world’s most demanding network events, where service performance directly impacts roaming revenue, customer retention, and brand reputation.
The FIFA World Cup 2026 will place unprecedented pressure on mobile networks across 16 stadiums in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, as millions of fans, teams, media, and officials rely on mobile services to stream, share, and communicate in real time. Sudden spikes in data, voice, and roaming traffic can degrade performance precisely when customer experience is most visible.
Mobileum’s FIFA World Cup 2026 package builds on the GlobalRoamer® end-to-end active testing ecosystem used at major global events, including roaming quality campaigns conducted during UEFA EURO 2024 and the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Enhanced with additional probes deployed around key event locations, the package enables continuous assessment of service quality, network performance, and critical technologies such as 5G and VoLTE, giving operators early visibility into issues before they impact users.
“During global events, networks don’t just need capacity, they need predictable performance that meets customers’ expectations,” said Miguel Carames, Chief Product Officer, Mobileum. “Our reporting and dashboards translate network data into clear, actionable insights, showing operators exactly where service quality is slipping and enabling them to resolve issues before fans, media, or VIP customers notice a problem.”
What the package delivers
The GlobalRoamer® FIFA World Cup 2026 package provides continuous visibility and actionable insights throughout the tournament, enabling operators to:
- Verify network performance and speeds under real-world peak load
- Benchmark roaming partners and competitors (where permitted)
- Identify bottlenecks and service degradation at the venue level
- Detect failures early through automated testing and alerting
Key benefits include dedicated test locations in close proximity to the stadiums, four daily test campaigns across major MNOs, daily performance reports, and weekly cumulative dashboards consolidating insights and trends.
For example, operators can quickly identify when mobile experience degrades at a specific stadium, determine whether the issue is related to capacity or a roaming partner, and take corrective action, such as adjusting roaming policies, to preserve call quality, data speeds, and overall user satisfaction.
Inbound and outbound roaming use cases
For inbound roaming, operators can differentiate network quality, become preferred roaming partners, and deliver a consistently strong experience to visiting subscribers during high-traffic moments, maximizing roaming revenue opportunities during the event.
For outbound roaming, operators can validate agreements, assess steering policies with venue-level precision, and proactively ensure their subscribers enjoy reliable service while traveling, including VIP and high-value customers.
Proven at global events
Mobileum’s event-readiness approach is backed by extensive experience delivering large-scale testing and monitoring programs. In addition to UEFA EURO 2024 and the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, Mobileum supported Azercell during COP 29 in Baku, executing a multi-phase testing and 24/7 monitoring campaign that helped ensure flawless roaming performance for more than 50,000 additional visitors, including high-profile delegates.

Grafana Labs Crosses 10,000-Customer Milestone as AI Adoption Accelerates Growth Across the Platform26.8.2026 15:00:00 CEST | Press Release
Grafana Labs, the company behind the open observability cloud, today announced it has crossed 10,000 customers worldwide and surpassed $600 million in annual recurring revenue, as organizations standardize on open observability for the AI era. Teams need AI to help them understand their own systems faster, especially as complexity and overhead remain the top observability concern cited in Grafana Labs' 2026 Observability Survey – a need reflected by the adoption of Grafana Assistant, Grafana Cloud's context-aware AI agent for exploring and troubleshooting observability data, now used by more than 18,000 organizations. Teams also need observability purpose-built for AI systems themselves: When teams move AI into production, models drift, agents take unexpected actions, token costs spike without warning, and the latency and error signals that caught problems for the last decade don't explain what went wrong. The same survey found 57% of organizations are now implementing LLM observabilit
