Syniverse and major South Korean operator KT have a new multiyear deal for data and financial clearing services, fraud detection, and roaming-agreement management. All are compatible with LTE standards that will help the operator as it transitions to 4G.
“Our expectation toward Syniverse’s best-in-class solutions, outstanding regional support teams and culture of innovation reinforced the decision to strengthen our relationship," said Seokjun Kim, VP, mobile business group, KT. “We are confident these core Syniverse services will enable us to deliver the best possible roaming experience for our customers now while ensuring we are prepared for the introduction of 4G and beyond."
KT has chosen Syniverse's Data Clearing House for GSM/WCDMA; Financial Clearing House for GSM/WCDMA; DataNet, a Near Real-Time Roaming Data Exchange solution; knowledge-based fraud detection system FraudX; and Roaming Management Services.
Syniverse now serves 180 customers in Asia Pacific, including some of the largest Tier 1 mobile operators.
“We understand that each region, country and operator face a truly unique set of challenges – there is no ‘one-size-fits-all’ solution," said Syniverse President and CEO Jeff Gordon. “We are committed to working with each of our customers to fully understand their needs and then tailoring a solution set that helps them deliver brand-protecting services to subscribers while realizing new efficiencies. We are proud to extend these roaming support services to KT, which will help them to continue to exceed the expectations of their customers."
