With mobile data use figures projected to remain in triple-digit
growth territory and more subscribers than ever taking advantage of
data services while on the go, Syniverse Technologies (NYSE:SVR) is
well-positioned to continue its leadership position as the world�s
foremost provider of mobile data roaming solutions. �Our mobile
data roaming reach today extends to approximately 650 GSM and CDMA
operator networks around the world and includes an individual
subscriber reach that has moved well above the three billion mark,�
said Tony Holcombe, president and CEO of Syniverse, a leading
provider of technology and business solutions for the global
telecommunications industry. According to industry research, global
data roaming revenues are expected to increase from $4.7 billion in
2006 to $9.2 billion in 2011. Moreover, data-enabled phone
ownership is forecast to increase from approximately 114 million in
2007 to 360 million by 2012, representing an increase of 216
percent. �Syniverse has been the clear �go-to� company for voice,
data and messaging roaming solutions across the full spectrum of
mobile communications for more than 20 years,� Holcombe said. �As a
full-service, one-stop service provider who can meet the needs of
any mobile operator regardless of its technology, we are confident
that our operators� high-value roaming subscribers will receive
seamless service wherever they may travel.� Angela Stainthorpe,
research analyst with Informa Telecoms & Media and author of a
new report, Global Mobile Roaming, 3rd Edition, said the need to
provide quality mobile data roaming service to subscribers will
only grow. �Data roaming is currently dominated by SMS, but we
expect a huge increase in revenues from other services, principally
access to the Internet via either smartphones or laptops over the
next few years,� she said. �By 2013, we are forecasting that other
data services will have overtaken SMS in total roaming revenues.�
According to Stainthorpe, �Syniverse is well-positioned among the
operators to provide solutions for mobile data given its long and
established heritage in providing roaming solutions to the
industry.� Syniverse has seen roughly a 400% increase in mobile
data volume year over year, evidence of the exponential growth in
data services occurring worldwide. In addition to providing mobile
data roaming services for both CDMA and GSM networks, Syniverse was
the first in the industry to offer an interstandard roaming
solution. UniRoam� allows CDMA subscribers to access voice and data
services internationally, even when roaming on a GSM network. The
company also offers solutions that enable operators to protect
themselves from fraud. Syniverse DataNet, which was named best
global roaming product in 2008 by the GSM Association (GSMA),
significantly increases a GSM operator�s defenses against roaming
fraud. Syniverse�s Holcombe said what is distinctive about
Syniverse is its ability to serve all operators, regardless of
network technology or subscriber handset choice. He explained that
this ability places the company in a unique position to help mobile
operators better serve their subscribers, including their
high-value enterprise customers. �We believe the growth in data
connections, data traffic and data roaming traffic for Internet
access, messaging, and email access for both enterprise and
consumer subscribers will continue to positively impact our growth
in the marketplace,� Holcombe said. �We are honored so many
operators have trusted us for more than two decades with their
roaming solutions, and we will continue to earn that trust with new
services and data traffic in the years to come.� Notes for Editors:
