Business Wire
VIVA, the latest addition in the Bahraini telecom market and
part of STC Group, has selected Syniverse Technologies (NYSE:SVR)
to provide it with a comprehensive suite of 10 roaming, messaging,
network and turn-key solutions. As a result, Syniverse, a leading
provider of technology and business solutions for the global
telecommunications industry, now provides services to all Saudi
Telecom Company (STC) Group affiliates throughout the region.
“Thanks to surging demand for mobile data, the Middle East and
North Africa are experiencing tremendous mobile growth,” said
Eugene Bergen Henegouwen, Executive Vice President, EMEA,
Syniverse. “A growing number of operators in this part of the world
are relying on Syniverse’s superior industry expertise,
comprehensive portfolio of services and strong in-region support,
and we are proud that VIVA in Bahrain has chosen Syniverse to
provide vital mobile solutions supporting the company’s subscriber
services.”
To ensure smooth roaming operations, VIVA, the newest mobile
operator in the kingdom of Bahrain, will use an array of Syniverse
MORESM roaming solutions, including Data Clearing House for GSM,
Financial Clearing House for GSM, Roaming Management Services and
Syniverse DataNet. Together, these services will allow the operator
to streamline the clearing and settlement process, increase
efficiency, minimize roaming fraud, and comply with all current
industry standards. The operator also will rely on a number of
network services to provide subscribers with access to their full
mobile voice and data services while roaming.
A pair of Syniverse NEXTSM messaging solutions will allow VIVA
to facilitate seamless text and multimedia messaging to users on
other networks, while Managed Welcome SMS will enable the operator
to keep in touch with both outbound and inbound roamers via
personalized SMS greetings.
When its network launches in 2010, VIVA will become the third
mobile operator in the Kingdom of Bahrain. The operator will
develop the telecommunications infrastructure to bring forth the
latest solutions and provide its subscribers with the highest
coverage available. Ibrahim bin Abdulrahman Al Omar, Head of the
Bahrain Project, VIVA in Bahrain, said he expects the operator to
succeed from day one.
“To compete in this dynamic market, we are focused on providing
unparalleled service quality to our subscribers and inbound
roamers,” Al Omar said. “By working with Syniverse, we have a
single source capable of helping us exceed our subscribers’
expectations both today and as we are growing the future.”
