NSN Reseller Agreement Brings Airwide to du, UAE
BURLINGTON, MA – 19 February, 2008 – Airwide® Solutions, the leading provider of next-generation mobile messaging and mobile internet infrastructure, applications and solutions, announced today that it has entered into a global reseller agreement with Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN), and that du, the new Integrated Telecommunications Service Provider in United Arab Emirates, is the first joint customer. Du was seeking a 3rd party messaging gateway solution to offer controlled access to network capabilities, such as SMS, MMS and WAP technologies to their content partners, and chose to deploy the Airwide technology together with Nokia Siemens Networks. The solution integrates with the NSN-delivered network elements, such as messaging centers, browsing gateways, and charging systems.
Airwide helps du to reduce the cost and time involved in bringing rich mobile messaging services to market, automating the partner sign-up process, while preserving and maintaining the security and integrity of the underlying core network. The solution allows du to set service level agreements with its 3rd party Value Added Service (VAS) content providers, while monitoring their performance through a business intelligence and reporting system.
Syed Nizami, Director for Middle East and Africa at Airwide Solutions said: “Airwide was chosen due to a clean 100% compliance to the customer requirements, and our ability to meet the aggressive deployment schedule with minimum customizations. We are very pleased to deliver the solution jointly with Nokia Siemens Networks.”
“This project demonstrates the capability of Airwide to integrate with Nokia Siemens Networks VAS platforms, enabling us together to unify operators’ value-added service delivery infrastructure and related business processes. With over 120 operator deployments, the maturity of the product suite has become a real competitive advantage and makes us a reliable partner for Nokia Siemens Networks,” Antero Norkio, Head of Global Channels for Airwide, added.
The Nokia Siemens Networks agreement covers the entire Airwide solution suite for global reselling. The solutions are delivered through the Nokia Siemens Networks Consulting and Systems Integration business unit that has the capabilities to assist the operator in defining, implementing, delivering and launching Service Delivery Platforms and value-added services.
