Comfone and i2iTelesource and partner to provide GRX (GPRS Roaming Exchange) and MMS hub services to mobile operators in India
May 26, 2006
BANGALORE, India -- i2iTelesource and Comfone today announced they are partnering to provide GRX (GPRS Roaming Exchange) and MMS (Multimedia Message Service) HUB Services to Mobile operators in India.
A GRX is a dedicated data network interconnecting GPRS mobile operators’ networks. GRX services enable travelers and business people to use their GPRS services while they are abroad or beyond the reach of their home network. With MMS Hub, operators can benefit from building up their MMS interconnections through a single physical connection and service contract, thus increasing efficiency and reducing costs. The interchange of MMS traffic between operators is enabled with IP access and routing using DNS with Mobile Number Portability Support.
Roaming services are still a major growth opportunity for mobile operators worldwide. Looking into future challenges, i2iTelesource and Comfone has invested in becoming the leading inter-operator solution provider – offering high quality data, signaling, broker and clearing services with customer care.
Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Chetan Jain, Director of i2iTelesource said, "The strong relationship we have forged with Comfone has enabled us to deliver superior services to our clients, consistently and efficiently. Together we will take this venture to a new level as clear leader in this market. We are entering a relationship with a major company, which shares our vision and values and understands, as we do, the enormous potential of mobile telephony in Indian society. We are excited about the opportunity to continue our work with Comfone supporting their delivery of Data Services to the country."
Roland Burri, Comfone’s Executive Vice President, Products and Services, commented "i2iTelesource will clearly strengthen our partner ecosystem as we are always looking for the right companies to collaborate with to meet the needs of our customers. Comfone will leverage i2iTelesource’s business consulting and services implementation to reinforce our ability to provide customers with expert roaming services.”
