PARIS-Motorola Inc. and Bouygues Telecom, a French mobile operator, announced a contract to deliver Push to talk over Cellular (PoC) services using Motorola V400p handsets. Bouygues Telecom will make its voice messaging services commercially available to enterprise and professional customers this month, Motorola said.
“After evaluating our options, Bouygues has determined that Motorola’s PoC solution combined with our GPRS network is the best solution so far on the French market,” said Richard Viel, general manager for Bouygues Telecom, Enterprises, International and Roaming.
Motorola to date has 18 contracts to supply PoC infrastructure solutions to customers operating in 23 countries and territories worldwide. The contract with Bouygues Telecom is in addition to commercially launched systems in North America, Latin America, Asia Pacific and Europe and the Middle East and a number of PoC trials and market pilots that Motorola has scheduled with wireless operators in Europe and the Middle East throughout the remainder of 2004.
Motorola said it will host and manage Bouygues’ PoC services from its hosted applications center in Paris.
