Huawei has extended its partnership with mobile device management (MDM) solutions provider Mobilethink to cover the Middle East and Africa. 

Mobilethink is now delivering device-management solutions as part of the Huawei turn-key network solutions to over 70 million subscribers in Africa including a large operation in the MTN group.

The service provides users with access to internet and MMS services. Mobilethinks DMS is integrated into the backend of an operators network, so that the firm can auto-detect the device requirements of any subscriber when a phone switches on. The device is then configured automatically.

“Mobilethink is proud to serve Huawei and its global networks,” says Thomas Yde Frederiksen, Mobilethinks chief of product management and marketing. “This relationship first started in 2008 and we believe has since grown to become one of the most solid customer-vendor relationships in the telecoms industry.”

Alex Zhou, Huaweis director of the cooperative department, says: “The business relationship built up with Mobilethink over the years is exemplary and is based on trust and performance. We have seen the deep impact of Mobilethinks device management services at the local operator level and are therefore delighted to extend our business relationship as a result.”
