SAO PAULO /PRNewswire/
An innovative project in Brazil is making Linux-based middleware for mobile
telecom services as easy to create as a website. Algar Telecom is the fast
growing mobile network operator (MNO) in Brazil. Many MNO's around the world are now finding
themselves in direct competition with international over-the-top (OTT) service
providers like Skype and Google Voice. To survive, they needed to find a way to
rapidly and cheaply build out new telecom services and offerings, but the
existing hardware and software offer limited extensibility for new features and
similarly little flexibility for interoperability with other systems. In
addition, they depend on innovation as a way to reduce the high development and
deployment costs associated with traditional telecom systems.
Mobicents is the leading open Source Cloud Communication Platform. It provide a run-time environment and comprehensive suite of tools for development, deployment and management of services integrating voice, video and messaging across a range of communication networks.
