Syniverse Wins Mobitel Contract

  
    
  
  
    
      Syniverse Technologies 
      (NYSE:SVR), a leading provider of technology and business solutions for 
      the global telecommunications industry, today announced it has been 
      selected by Mobitel Georgia, a mobile operator based in the Republic of 
      Georgia and part of Russia’s VimpelCom Group, 
      to provide GSM data clearing and settlement services.
    
    
      Syniverse will provide Mobitel with its ACCESS 
      S&E® 
      GSM Clearinghouse Services to ensure accurate invoicing and 
      settlement of Mobitel’s roaming voice calls 
      and wireless data events, and to simplify the exchange and management of 
      information between the company and its roaming partners. With ACCESS 
      S&E, Mobitel will immediately be able to offer roaming to its 
      subscribers, build its competitive position in Georgia and, at the same 
      time, generate revenue from incoming roamers who are using Mobitel’s 
      network.
    
    
      “Syniverse understands that roaming is a 
      critical competitive factor and revenue generator for new operators,” 
      said Eugene Bergen Henegouwen, Executive Vice President and Managing 
      Director for Syniverse, EMEA. “But at the same 
      time, new operators have many other priorities and, therefore, need to 
      rely on a partner who will guide them in the complex world of roaming. 
      Syniverse provides the right balance between quality of service and 
      roaming experience and, as a result, enables operators to quickly build 
      expertise and deliver efficient services to their subscribers.”
    
    
      Enhanced by Analyzer, Syniverse’s feature-rich 
      reporting and data mining tool, ACCESS S&E will deliver to Mobitel 
      critical information the company can use to understand customer behavior 
      and be better able to develop appropriate marketing strategies for its 
      high-value customers who travel abroad.
