Business Wire
Sybase 365 - a subsidiary of Sybase, Inc. (NYSE:SY) � the global
leader in mobile messaging services, and Belgacom International
Carrier Services (Belgacom ICS) today announced a formal GRX
peering agreement for a data roaming point in Singapore. The
agreement was made in recognition of increasing GPRS traffic and
GSM usage throughout the Asia-Pacific region. It is the first
peering agreement in Singapore of two global GRX providers.
�Currently, all GRX networks peer in Amsterdam. Utilizing a new
peering point in Singapore significantly reduces the distances that
roaming data traffic has to cover when travelling between two
mobile operator networks in the Asia-Pacific region,� said Patrick
George, vice president, marketing & product management,
Belgacom ICS. �For our operator customers� subscribers, this will
mean faster and more reliable data connectivity while roaming in
the region. This is noticeable, for instance, through much more
responsive web browsing and quicker email exchange.� Building on
the 2007 SMS peering agreement between the world�s two largest SMS
hub providers, today�s initiative is another key milestone for
Sybase 365 and Belgacom ICS. This new GRX peering will enable their
respective GRX operator customers to exchange mobile data
regionally and internationally, providing an excellent alternative
to local GRX providers, with a much stronger capacity at a global
level. �For mobile operators, a reliable, high quality end-user
experience results in high ARPU and ensures customer retention and
loyalty,� said Marty Beard, president, Sybase 365. �As GRX networks
evolve into Mobile IP, utilizing this peering point in Singapore
will make it possible for us to offer IPX-based services between
our operator customers in the region helping them further grow
their business.� � For more information, visit Sybase 365 during: �
