STAMFORD, Conn.-Metromedia International Telecommunications Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Metromedia International Group Inc., said Communicatii Nationale Mobile S.A., a joint venture between the Metromedia parent company and an unnamed partner, now provides nationwide FLEX paging in Romania.
“Because of the launch of our calling party pays service in Romania, we needed to consider a high-speed protocol that would allow us to maximize our channel capacity,” said John Duffy, vice president of paging operations for Metromedia’s Radio Paging Group.
The company selected FLEX instead of European Radio Messaging System “because of the gradual progression in transmission speeds and system buildout, vs. an immediate system buildout that would have been required with ERMES,” Duffy added.
The first FLEX pager will be turned on for service this month.
