Mavenir Systems, a global provider of mobile convergence solutions, today announced that it will provide LTE-based MMS and SMS services for MetroPCS Communications.
MetroPCS will implement Mavenir’s Converged Messaging solution on its new LTE network, allowing its 4G LTE customers to exchange multimedia and text messages with one another and other carrier networks. MetroPCS currently uses Mavenir’s Converged Messaging solution, launched in early 2010, as a cost-effective way for its CDMA network to support rapid growth in text message usage.
“By selecting Mavenir again to support its nationwide LTE services, MetroPCS joins a growing list of carriers that value our innovative IP messaging solutions,” said Pardeep Kohli, President and CEO of Mavenir. “Mavenir enables carriers such as MetroPCS to develop and deploy market differentiating, revenue-generating messaging services with reduced cost, risk and time to market. We look forward to continuing to work with MetroPCS.”
