Business Wire
Syniverse Technologies (NYSE:SVR) has been selected by Kenya’s
largest mobile operator, Safaricom, to underpin its mobile roaming
services, adding to a growing roster of Syniverse’s operator
customers throughout Africa. In a competitive takeaway for
Syniverse, Safaricom will join a list of more than 50 operators on
the continent that rely on Syniverse for a range of roaming,
messaging and network solutions to enhance operations and business
growth.
“With rapid expansion of the African mobile market, we’re
committed to providing high-quality services and expertise that
allow operators like Safaricom to simplify operational complexity
and maximize revenue opportunities while providing subscribers with
highly reliable mobile services,” said Eugene Bergen Henegouwen,
Executive Vice President, EMEA, Syniverse. “Our work with a growing
number of African operators demonstrates Syniverse has established
itself as a trusted partner on the continent to provide solutions
that meet subscriber expectations and promote operator growth.”
By relying on Syniverse, Safaricom will enjoy a simplified,
end-to-end clearing and settlement process made possible by Data
Clearing House for GSM (DCH) and Financial Clearing House for GSM
(FCH). These Syniverse MORE roaming solutions will allow Safaricom
to minimize the resources required to handle roaming accounting,
while improving operational efficiency of transaction processing.
Also part of the MORE portfolio, the award-winning Syniverse
DataNet solution will ensure Safaricom is protected against roaming
fraud and fully compliant with all current industry standards for
roaming fraud, including the GSM Association’s Near Real Time
Roaming Data Exchange (NRTRDE) initiative.
Michael Joseph, Chief Executive Officer, Safaricom, said
efficient, secure roaming operations are essential as Kenya
experiences tremendous growth in mobile subscribers. The country is
expected to exceed 100 percent mobile penetration by 2013.
“Our position as a leading operator in Kenya means we have a key
role to play in mobile expansion, and we chose Syniverse to support
us because of its commitment to, and understanding of, the African
market,” Joseph said. “Syniverse will provide us with the essential
tools we need to manage our own growth and, at the same time,
ensure we can deliver the quality roaming experiences subscribers
expect.”
