Everything Everywhere launches Viacloud, MVNA partner
18th July 2012, United Kingdom: Everything Everywhere, the UK’s biggest communications company, has announced a strategic partnership with Mobile Virtual Network Aggregator (MVNA) Atmovia, a subsidiary of the Viacloud Group.
Atmovia has invested in deep end-to-end technology from Nokia Siemens Networks, and its platform will support the launch and growth of Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) on the Everything Everywhere network. It has the unique capability among MVNAs of dealing with large customer bases, with an out-of-the-box capacity to manage up to 7 million subscribers.
Richard Williams, Chief Operating Officer at Atmovia, said: “We don’t believe that anyone else has done what we have; investing in the highest-spec, carrier grade technology for our platform, and taking the time to fully integrate it with our MNO partner. Our MVNO customers will benefit from this investment directly, as they are able to quickly react to changing market conditions and offer their own customers the flexible and high-quality service they expect, on a network that – like us – is investing great amounts of time and money to provide the best service for its customers.”
Atmovia is a carrier-grade wholesale mobile company focussed on the development and growth of MVNOs within the UK and Europe. It is the MVNA subsidiary of the Viacloud Group, a private equity-backed telecommunications company focussed on mobile and international communications.
