Syniverse Leadership Momentum Continues in Mobile Roaming
Solutions and Global Operator Reach
TAMPA, Fla.–(EMWNews)–With mobile data use figures projected to remain in triple-digit growth
territory and more subscribers than ever taking advantage of data
services while on the go, Syniverse
Technologies (NYSE:SVR) is well-positioned to continue its
leadership position as the world’s foremost
provider of mobile data roaming solutions.
“Our mobile data roaming reach today extends
to approximately 650 GSM and CDMA operator networks around the world and
includes an individual subscriber reach that has moved well above the
three billion mark,” said Tony Holcombe,
president and CEO of Syniverse, a leading provider of technology and
business solutions for the global telecommunications industry.
According to industry research, global data roaming revenues are
expected to increase from $4.7 billion in 2006 to $9.2 billion in 2011.
Moreover, data-enabled phone ownership is forecast to increase from
approximately 114 million in 2007 to 360 million by 2012, representing
an increase of 216 percent.
“Syniverse has been the clear ‘go-to’
company for voice, data and messaging roaming solutions across the full
spectrum of mobile communications for more than 20 years,”
Holcombe said. “As a full-service, one-stop
service provider who can meet the needs of any mobile operator
regardless of its technology, we are confident that our operators’
high-value roaming subscribers will receive seamless service wherever
they may travel.”
Angela Stainthorpe, research analyst with Informa Telecoms & Media and
author of a new report, Global Mobile Roaming, 3rd
Edition, said the need to provide quality mobile data roaming
service to subscribers will only grow.
“Data roaming is currently dominated by SMS,
but we expect a huge increase in revenues from other services,
principally access to the Internet via either smartphones or laptops
over the next few years,” she said. “By
2013, we are forecasting that other data services will have overtaken
SMS in total roaming revenues.”
According to Stainthorpe, “Syniverse is
well-positioned among the operators to provide solutions for mobile data
given its long and established heritage in providing roaming solutions
to the industry.”
Syniverse has seen roughly a 400% increase in mobile data volume year
over year, evidence of the exponential growth in data services occurring
worldwide.
In addition to providing mobile data roaming services for both CDMA and
GSM networks, Syniverse was the first in the industry to offer an
interstandard roaming solution. UniRoam®
allows CDMA subscribers to access voice and data services
internationally, even when roaming on a GSM network. The company also
offers solutions that enable operators to protect themselves from fraud. Syniverse
DataNet, which was named best global roaming product in 2008 by the
GSM Association (GSMA), significantly increases a GSM operator’s
defenses against roaming fraud.
Syniverse’s Holcombe said what is distinctive
about Syniverse is its ability to serve all operators, regardless of
network technology or subscriber handset choice. He explained that this
ability places the company in a unique position to help mobile operators
better serve their subscribers, including their high-value enterprise
customers.
“We believe the growth in data connections,
data traffic and data roaming traffic for Internet access, messaging,
and email access for both enterprise and consumer subscribers will
continue to positively impact our growth in the marketplace,”
Holcombe said. “We are honored so many
operators have trusted us for more than two decades with their roaming
solutions, and we will continue to earn that trust with new services and
data traffic in the years to come.”
