A first mobile network operator (MNO) periodically retrieves roaming network updates for reconfiguring one or more network subsystems of a network operated by the first MNO. A portion of the roaming network update is retrieved from an operator master database (OMD). The roaming network update includes roam data associated with a second MNO and configuration data for the one or more network subsystems. The roam data is retrieved via IR.21 information from a cloud server associated with the second MNO. The roam data specifies one or more telecommunications carriers associated with the second MNO. The one or more network subsystems for reconfiguration are identified based on the roaming network update. The one or more network subsystems are reconfigured using the roaming network update to enable one or more user devices associated with the second MNO for roaming on the network.

Automated audits relating to network configuration updates in response to roaming partner updates

A system periodically retrieves roaming network updates associated with at least one mobile network operator (MNO) using an application programming interface (API), and periodically ingests IR.21 information from cloud servers associated with the MNOs. The system retrieves configuration data for at least one network subsystem of a network. The system then performs an event-driven audit of the at least one network subsystem based on the ingested IR.21 information and queries the at least one network subsystem to determine discrepancies between a current network state and the IR.21 information. To rectify the discrepancies, the system determines a change to the network and maps the determined change with a network configuration table. According to the network configuration table, commands are automatically executed to apply the change and rectify the discrepancies. The network change enables user devices to roam on the network.
