MOBILE TORNADO SELECTED BY PARTNER COMMUNICATIONS COMPANY LIMITED IN ISRAEL
TO ENRICH ITS EXISTING OFFERING FOR 'PUSH TO TALK'
Mobile Tornado, one of the world leaders in convergent, instant communications,
announces that Partner Communications Company Limited, has signed an agreement
to enrich its existing 'Push to Talk' ('PTT') offering. Mobile Tornado is
providing its full integrated solution to Partner Communications Company
Limited's Israel network infrastructure to add and expand in the future
additional new services.
This PTT service will be targeted at the business user who requires fast and
constant communication links with work teams. The service will allow the
establishment of half-duplex voice links where one person speaks and the other
listens, either for groups or one to one, at the touch of a button. The Mobile
Tornado solution also has enhanced 'Presence' capability, the only one of its
kind in the market, allowing the user to know the status of the phone of the
person being called facilitating more efficient and effective communication
between users.
Jeremy Fenn, Managing Director at Mobile Tornado said:
'We are extremely proud and pleased to announce this managed services agreement
that Partner Communications Israel have entrusted us with. Partner
Communications are a market leader in the launch of new services in Israel. They
were pioneers in the introduction of SMS, EDGE, Worldwide Roaming, and now the
launch of PTT over Cellular, that will facilitate new communication solutions to
an important group of Israeli users. Our technology platform combined with the
experience of Partner Communications on sales and marketing should facilitate
the establishment of a significant market share in the PTT market in Israel.
This deal further strengthens our position as a world leader in providing
instant communication solutions to the leading telecommunication operators in
the world '
Alon Berman CTO of Partner Communications Company Ltd. said:
'Partner Communications keeps leading the launch of new services in Israel. We
continue to innovate and enrich our PTT over Cellular offering. With Mobile
Tornado's platform, we seek to continue responding to the needs of the corporate
sector by offering the best service of voice over GSM/UMTS technology in Israel
with a wider variety of handsets.'
