LATAM MVNO Community Learns From Success of Vodafone Enabler Spain and Elephant Talk
SCHIPHOL, THE NETHERLANDS--(Marketwire - Jun 28, 2012) - Elephant Talk Communications Corp. (
Steven van der Velden, CEO of Elephant Talk, stated, "Management is extremely pleased with the continued growth of our high margin mobile services division. The additional migrations to our platform and the organic growth of existing MVNOs is a direct result of our strategic industry relationships coupled with our ability to provide users with high-quality mobile service. We believe the addition of new users continues to enhance our already strong global reputation and will lead to additional SIM cards migrating to the Elephant Talk platform in other geographic regions."
In late May, the LATAM MVNO community gathered during the LATAM edition of the MVNO Summit World Series in Sao Paulo to learn from the experiences of Vodafone Enabler Spain and Elephant Talk. Case studies from the region and presentations about the global and regional MVNO developments were presented.
Luis Jimenez-Tuñón, the Managing Director of Vodafone Enabler Spain, discussed the importance of a close partnership with the right technology partner, Elephant Talk, to bring complex MVNO solutions to the market while running a profitable business for the Operator.
At the MVNO Summit, Elephant Talk CTO Martin Zuurbier explained how the MVNE platform capabilities will be further enriched with advanced new services like OTA - Over The Air device management tools, NFC - Near Field Communication and secure mobile payment solutions, Location Based Services, and the inclusion of Pico and Femto Cells and full 4G/LTE capabilities. Mr. Zuurbier discussed how these advancements are expected to allow for more advanced MVNO service capabilities going forward.
Given the successful delivery and the new services to be launched by Elephant Talk in the near future, various companies that work on a global scale are in the process to assess the Elephant Talk MVNE platform to deploy their MVNO strategy in the pan-LATAM region.
