# Roam OCPI: Extend your network coverage

Extend your charging network with managed roaming: Offer your customers broader European charging coverage without managing more CPO relationships yourself.

With Plugsurfing’s Roam OCPI, you can connect your existing OCPI-enabled service to Plugsurfing’s managed roaming network. Keep your own network and direct partnerships—while Plugsurfing fills the gaps.

### **Combine your own network with broader coverage**

Your existing network remains at the core of your service. Roam OCPI adds the charging operators you do not want to integrate and manage directly.

This means:

* More charging locations for your customers
* Coverage beyond your own network
* Fewer CPO relationships to manage
* One consistent experience in your app and brand

You decide which parts of the network you manage yourself and where Plugsurfing provides the additional coverage.

### **Connect through OCPI 2.2.1**

Roam OCPI works with your existing technology through the industry-standard OCPI 2.2.1 protocol.

The connection supports the essential roaming flows, including:

* Locations, connectors and tariffs
* Charging tokens and authorisation
* Remote start and stop
* Sessions and charge detail records

You can extend your current platform without introducing a separate proprietary product stack.

### **Reduce roaming complexity**

Every direct CPO relationship brings contracts, technical maintenance, tariff updates, invoicing and reconciliation.

Plugsurfing manages this operational work for the roaming network, including:

* CPO agreements and integrations
* Tariff data processing
* CDR validation and reconciliation
* Consolidated invoicing
* Ongoing operational management

Instead of managing many separate connections and partners, you work with one roaming partner.

### **Keep control of your business**

Roam OCPI expands your coverage without replacing your service.

You remain in control of:

* Your app and brand
* Your customer relationships
* Your retail pricing
* Your charging cards and tokens
* Your payment and billing experience

Your customers stay within your ecosystem while gaining access to a much broader charging network.

### **Why Roam OCPI?**

Plugsurfing's Roam OCPI gives you the best of both worlds:

* Your own network and strategic CPO relationships
* Plugsurfing’s managed European roaming coverage
* One standards-based connection
* Less technical and operational overhead
* Full control of your customers, pricing and brand

Your network remains yours. Plugsurfing extends it where you need more coverage.
