'Cherry picks Comverse for mobile services in Belgium'


Nov 12, 2009 (DMEUROPE via COMTEX) -- Comverse has enabled Cherry, the mobile brand of Belgian MVNO start-up Mondial Telecom, to launch voice services in Belgium by using fixed-mobile converged, dual mobile/Wi-Fi technology. When subscribing to Cherry's mobile service, customers receive a dual-mode mobile handset that operates over Wi-Fi within its coverage zone and switches seamlessly to GSM technology when leaving the Wi-Fi coverage zone. This communication between GSM and VoIP over Wi-Fi is made possible by Comverse Netcentrex IP Communications. Deployed as a software as a service model at the Comverse Netcentrex hosting centre, this has allowed Cherry to launch service in the Belgium market without a mobile infrastructure.
