Business Wire
Syniverse Technologies (NYSE:SVR), a leading provider of
technology and business solutions for the global telecommunications
industry, today announced that it was selected by VIVA to enhance
the Kuwaiti operator’s roaming and messaging operations.
Syniverse will provide VIVA with a number of roaming, Near Real
Time Roaming Data Exchange (NRTRDE), network and messaging
solutions. Among the products chosen by VIVA are Data Clearing
House for GSM (DCH), Financial Clearing House for GSM (FCH),
Roaming Management Services (RMS), Syniverse DataNet NRTRDE
solution, SS7 Signaling Transport – INLink®, SCCP Gateway and MMS
Interworking Gateway (MMS-IG).
VIVA is the 12th mobile operator in the Middle East and North
Africa region to choose Syniverse during the past two years,
demonstrating the company’s growing success in helping operators
overcome the region’s key business challenges.
“With a total number of subscribers expected to reach 193
million by 2012, the Middle East and North Africa region is clearly
a strong growth market. And Syniverse is at the center of it all,
gaining significant momentum as we simplify business and technical
complexities for operators across the region,” said Eugene Bergen
Henegouwen, Executive Vice President, EMEA, Syniverse. “With this
suite of solutions, VIVA will enjoy simplified roaming operations,
while providing its customers with a high-quality multimedia
messaging experience.”
Syniverse will provide VIVA with a simplified, end-to-end
clearing process through its DCH and FCH, while DataNet will
protect the operator from roaming fraud and ensure compliance with
the GSM Association’s NRTRDE initiative. RMS will help VIVA
increase roaming revenue through better planning, reporting,
monitoring and analysis of roaming data; and SCCP Gateway will give
the operator interoperability and signaling translation
capabilities necessary to provide its subscribers with seamless
international roaming. With SS7 Signaling Transport, VIVA will
benefit from a network backbone for a variety of advanced,
intelligent network services and features, such as call delivery,
fraud control, local number portability and calling name features,
which make roaming possible.
For the messaging side of its business, VIVA will use
Syniverse’s MMS-IG service to help grow the operator’s messaging
revenues by solving business and technical issues associated with
delivering MMS off-network and between operators. As a result, VIVA
subscribers will experience a seamless, transparent multimedia
messaging experience.
“As mobile continues to gain tremendous momentum in this region,
we needed a provider who could help us meet and exceed the growing
expectations of our customers,” said Najeeb Al-Awadi, CEO, VIVA.
“We selected Syniverse because we felt both the scope of its
solutions as well as its knowledge of this dynamic mobile market
make it the best choice to help us grow our business.”
