MOBILE TORNADO SELECTED BY RADIOMOVEL TELECOMUNICACOES SA TO LAUNCH
'PUSH TO TALK' SERVICES IN PORTUGAL THROUGH ITS SUBSIDIARY ZAPP PORTUGAL
Mobile Tornado, one of the world leaders in convergent, instant communications,
announces that Radiomovel Telecomunicacoes SA has signed an agreement to launch
a Push-To-Talk ('PTT') service in Portugal through Zapp Portugal ('Zapp'), its
Portugese subsidiary. The solution, based on the Mobile Tornado IPRS platform,
allows instantaneous communication on a nation-wide basis, utilising a
one-to-one or one-to-many half duplex call. Zapp is the first CDMA450 operator
to launch IPRS-based services in Europe.
Zapp intends targeting its PTT service at professional and corporate segments
such as firefighters, law enforcement and security companies, municipal and
community service providers and events companies. Zapp selected the IPRS
solution package because of its quality and performance with the connection
latency being lower and the voice quality superior compared to other solutions
tested.
Besides the competitive advantages of the IPRS platform Mobile Tornado possesses
significant experience in the field of solution integration with CDMA based
networks, which allowed easy adaptation to Zapp's network characteristics and
configurations.
Jeremy Fenn, Managing Director at Mobile Tornado said:
'I am delighted to announce this deal with Zapp. This launch demonstrates Zapp's
commitment to delivering its subscribers options beyond traditional voice
features by introducing a diverse suite of compelling, feature-rich data service
offerings. This deal provides further evidence that our IPRS platform is gaining
acceptance with mobile operators in territories around the world as they seek to
launch 'Push-to-Talk' services to their customers. In recent weeks we have
announced deals with mobile operators in Argentina, Israel and now Portugal. I
look forward to further evidence of this increasing momentum in coming months.'
Cuneyt Turktan, president of the board of directors, Zapp, said:
'Zapp is proud to be the first CDMA450 operator to introduce IPRS-based services
to the European market. Zapp subscribers will now benefit from an enhanced user
experience that allows them to choose from a wide array of voice/data
communication options. IPRS enables us to provide our clients with the necessary
instruments to help them become more efficient and better informed. Mobile
Tornado's IPRS solution positions Zapp as a technological leader and a
cutting-edge mobile service provider.'
