ATLANTA-Nortel Networks Ltd. has granted interoperability approval to a new mobile messaging product from Glenayre Technologies Inc.
Glenayre’s Versera Intelligent Communications Environment (ICE), which was designed to cost-effectively deploy and operate multiple applications on one platform, was approved for interoperability with Nortel’s GSM/GPRS wireless infrastructure. Approval was achieved using GSM 17 and MTX 12 CDMA infrastructure equipment.
A former paging infrastructure company, Glenayre provides messaging solutions for wireless and wireline carriers, including Nextel Communications Inc., T-Mobile USA, U.S. Cellular Corp. and Alltel Corp.
“Glenayre is excited to bring to market a flexible, scalable communications solution that delivers expanded messaging capabilities and allows carriers to remain competitive,” said Bruce Bales, president of Glenayre’s messaging business. “Versera ICE is a true next-generation system that allows service providers to retain subscribers, minimize total cost of ownership and increase revenues.”
