Roaming ensures that a traveling wireless device (typically a cell phone) is kept connected to a network without breaking the connection. In wireless telecommunications, Traditional Roaming is a general term referring to the ability for a cellular customer to automatically make and receive voice calls, send and receive data, or access other services, including home data services, when travelling outside the geographical coverage area of the home network, by means of using a visited network. For example; should a subscriber travel beyond their cell phone company's transmitter range, their cell phone would automatically hop onto another phone company's service, if available.
Using another phone company's service can be done by using the subscriber identity in the visited network. Roaming is technically supported by mobility management, authentication, authorization and accounting billing procedures (known as AAA or 'triple A').
The term "roaming" originates from the GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) standard used by mobile phones. The term "roaming" can also be applied to the CDMA technology, (a channel access method that includes 3G, etc.).
Roaming is a 2013 Canadian film written and directed by Michael Ray Fox and produced by Michael Melski, Richard MacQueen, and Craig Cameron. The film stars Rhys Bevan-John, Cory Bowles, Daniel Lillford, Martha Irving, Josh MacDonald, Sarah D. McCarthy, and Christina Cuffari. Roaming was the first film to be produced through Telefilm Canada's First Feature Program, a joint venture with Film & Creative Industries Nova Scotia that continued until the latter agency was disbanded in 2015. The success of the film's production intitated Telefilm to create the Micro Budget Program, which was broadened to accept submissions from all Canadian provinces for consideration.
