 "Synchronica To Provide Mobile e-Mail Solution In India")
UK-based Synchronica has entered into an agreement with an Indian firm, without revealing the identity, to provide a mobile e-mail solution in India.
Synchronica develops and markets mobile e-mail and synchronisation solutions for mobile operators and device manufacturers. The firm’s products include the push e-mail and synchronisation solution ‘Mobile Gateway’.
Even though the identity of the company was not revealed, Synchronica said that the Indian reseller has a contract with a major mobile operator in the country, who is one of the top 10 operators worldwide too.
The UK firm has signed a licence agreement. The company will start the mobile solution facility by the end of 2008, Synchronica said in a regulatory filing to the London Stock Exchange.
“This agreement represents an important step in the growth of Synchronica as we enter more emerging markets, where the growth in mobile subscribers is at its highest and our product has a unique appeal,” Synchronica CEO Carsten Brinkschulte said.
According to the company, the Indian firm would initially purchase a 50,000 user licence for Synchronica Mobile Gateway at a list price of $ 2.43 per user.
“Phase two is scheduled for the end of this year and will include an expansion order for an additional 250,000 licences. A third phase scheduled for 2009 would be for a further 500,000 licences,” the filing added. (PTI)
