| Comverse has enabled Cherry, the mobile brand of service provider Mondial Telecom, to launch voice services in Belgium by using fixed-mobile converged, dual cellular/WiFi technology. When subscribing to Cherry’s mobile service, customers receive a dual-mode mobile handset that operates over WiFi within its coverage zone and switches seamlessly to GSM technology when leaving the WiFi coverage zone. This has allowed Cherry to launch service in the Belgium market without a mobile infrastructure. As a Mobile Virtual Network Operator, Cherry also does not have its own licensed frequency allocation of radio spectrum. :theflyonthewall.com |
