Sybase 365, a subsidiary of Sybase, Inc. (NYSE: SY), the global leader in mobile messaging and mobile commerce services, today announced further growth in the Asia market with its selection by eleven leading mobile operators to provide International SMS, MMS and GRX services.
Sybase 365 continues to expand its International SMS connectivity footprint across Bangladesh, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Korea, Mongolia, and Nepal, through agreements with GSM operators such as Grameenphone, Latelz Co., Ltd (SMART MOBILE), TMI Cambodia, Sampoerna, SureM, Unitel, G-Mobile, and Spice Nepal; and CDMA operators such as, Pacific Bangladesh Telecom (CityCell), and GT-Tell (Excell).
The operators will gain access to more than 3.4 billion mobile subscribers around the world across 800 networks. With transcoding capabilities that traverse networks and handsets without degrading message quality, Sybase 365 seamlessly interconnects global mobile users over GSM, CDMA and TDMA networks.
In addition, Sybase 365 has also signed Laos operator, Lao Telecom, for its GRX 365 global data roaming service. This provides Lao Telecom subscribers with access to more than 500 mobile network operators around the world. GRX 365 can be used for international MMS connectivity via MMX 365, and SMS and Roaming Signalling using SigTran. These new agreements further extend Sybase 365's unrivalled global footprint and increases the number of operator partners in Asia to 161.
