TECNOMEN TO DELIVER VMS AND MMSC TO TELENOR IN PAKISTAN
Telenor Pakistan and its network infrastructure provider Siemens
Information and Communication Mobile have chosen Tecnomen to supply
its Voice Mail System (VMS) and Multimedia Messaging Service Centre
(MMSC). Delivery will take place this month.
"Telenor Pakistans parent company in Norway is one of our longest-
standing customers. We are delighted to be able to expand our
relationship with them through this deal," says Mr Matias Sillanpää,
Tecnomen MEA. "It also marks an important entry into a region with
considerable growth prospects in the coming years and further
strengthens our long-term relationship with Siemens in this region."
The Pakistan market is ripe with potential. As of the end of March of
this year, the total mobile phone subscriber base in Pakistan was at
3.8 million, which represents only 3 per cent of the 141 million
population.
Telenor Pakistan is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Telenor,
headquartered in Oslo, Norway. Telenor acquired one of the new mobile
licences in Pakistan in May of this year. They now have mobile
operations in 12 countries and over 40 million subscribers. Telenor
Pakistan has commissioned Siemens to build its GSM network in the
southern part of the country. They will launch its cellular phone
service in Pakistan April, 2005.
Tecnomen Messaging solutions include some of the most advanced
technology on the market for meeting the needs of mobile subscribers
today and tomorrow. With Tecnomen Messaging, operators and service
providers can build messaging service packages tailored to suit their
own requirements, and offer their customers the advanced added-value
services needed to stand out in todays competitive market.
