Deutsche Telekom Increases European RCS Momentum with Third Jibe Service LaunchMOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Aug. 11, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Jibe Mobile (www.jibemobile.com), the Cloud Communications Company and leader in Rich Communications Services (RCS), today announced that Deutsche Telekom's regional operating company, Telekom Albania, launched its rich IP communications service powered by Jibe's IP Communications Cloud. The service, available first as a downloadable app, replaces the native SMS/MMS messaging app on Android with a single application that enables mobile subscribers to video chat, instant message, group message, share large photos and videos while still being able to SMS and MMS with users that do not have the service. On the iPhone, subscribers are able to download a compatible RCS application. "Carriers of all sizes and in many different locations around the globe have selected Jibe Mobile as their RCS Cloud Platform," said Amir Sarhangi, co-founder and CEO of Jibe Mobile. "This launch builds on increasing RCS momentum and shows carrier commitment to bring the most advanced standards-based messaging to their subscribers." Just over a year ago, Deutsche Telekom and its regional operating companies in Romania and Slovakia, Telekom Romania and Slovak Telekom, announced the launch of these Jibe powered IP communications services in those regions. "Launching rich carrier-driven communications services powered by Jibe in Albania, following our successful launches in Romania and Slovakia, is another step in Deutsche Telekom's expansion of IP communication for our customers throughout Europe," said Kobus Smit Head of Voice & Messaging at Deutsche Telekom and Chair of the IP Communications Leaderhip Team for the GSMA. "Jibe's centralized cloud architecture is bringing significant improvement in efficiency and much faster time to market when launching RCS in multiple geographies. Based on this success, Deutsche Telekom will interconnect with other local and international carriers via Jibe's Cloud and RCS Hub."
