Synchronica signs Nokia Siemens Networks as global reseller for push email

Synchronica plc (AIM: SYNC), the mobile email and synchronisation specialist, is pleased to announce a global reseller agreement with Nokia Siemens Networks enabling Nokia Siemens Networks to offer Synchronica Mobile Gateway, a standards-based push email and synchronisation solution, to mobile operators worldwide.

The agreement with the world's second largest Network Equipment Provider gives a truly global reach to the Company's technology and reiterates the technical superiority that its Mobile Gateway solution occupies in the market. Nokia Siemens Networks selected the solution because it provides carrier-grade scalability, supports mass market handsets and is suitable for both businesses and consumers alike. Unlike other solutions, Mobile Gateway requires no additional client software to be installed on the device and supports a wide range of devices including entry-level devices. 

As a recognised leader in the delivery of applications and communication solutions to mobile operators worldwide, the agreement with Synchronica enables Nokia Siemens Networks to offer an affordable, white-labelled, push email solution. Mobile Gateway can be branded by operators and rolled out to businesses and consumers quickly and cost-effectively, helping them to reduce churn - a key issue in today's highly competitive climate.

Carsten Brinkschulte, CEO of Synchronica plc, added: "We are increasingly seeing the need for mobile operators to provide their customers with innovative mobile applications in order to reduce churn in light of the current economic uncertainty. This agreement is further evidence of this and we are delighted that Nokia Siemens Networks has recognised the ability of our technology to help their mobile operator customers do just that. Nokia Siemens Networks has an unparalleled access to mobile operators worldwide, and will provide the strength and global presence which can transform the technical advantage of Mobile Gateway into market leadership."
