Airwide Solutions and Tecnotree have signed a non-exclusive global distribution agreement.  Under the terms of the agreement, the companies will make available to operators worldwide a portfolio of next generation messaging infrastructure, OSS/BSS and value-added services solutions. The collaboration is expected to help both companies more extensively serve mobile operators in developed markets like Western Europe, and emerging markets like Africa and Latin America .
Emerging regions are increasingly tapping into mobile phone technology to improve quality of life in the region, says Airwide.  For example, many operators are now offering low-cost and, high-quality value added service to millions of people in the developing world.  As a key underpinning of these services, operators need infrastructure that meets the increased demand, conforms to security and reliability requirements, and offers flexibility for tomorrows yet unseen innovative service offerings. Together, Airwide Solutions and Tecnotree say they can provide comprehensive, out-of-the-box solutions that meet these types of need.
Additionally, the two companies say their portfolio will be of interest to operators in developed markets like Western Europe, enabling them to optimize their service delivery infrastructure; create an efficient service creation environment for launching profitable services in the shortest time-to-market; monetize their network investments by enhancing third party services and applications; and drive new revenue from existing assets by making them ad-funded.
Working together with Airwide will extend our value and reach we can provide to operators in both emerging and developed markets, says Leena Koskelainen, Director, Tecnotree VAS Solution Center. Together we can offer powerful VAS solutions to operators worldwide, satisfying their needs for today and tomorrow. We expect this to be a fruitful relationship for both our company and our joint customers.
