Synchronica plc announced that Claro Dominicana, America Movil´s Dominican Republic subsidiary, has launched a mobile Email and synchronization service based on Synchronica’s Mobile Gateway messaging infrastructure.

The Claro Mail service is promoted to existing and potential Claro Dominicana customers. 

With Synchronica Mobile Gateway, users of entry-level handsets, send and receive Emails as a standard SMS or MMS; their replies are then converted back to email.

Lucía Guzmán, Mobile Solutions Director at Claro, commented, “Our promotion of a mobile email solution based on Synchronica’s technology allows us to offer a mobile Email service to all of our subscribers, not just those with high-end phones. Being able to target our entire customer base with such a powerful yet affordable service, made the decision to license Synchronica’s software an easy one.” 

Carsten Brinkschulte, CEO of Synchronica, added, “Our discussions with mobile operators such as Claro Dominicana tell us that mobile Email for the masses is already proving to be must-have for operators across the globe. People need to communicate, and in emerging markets, mobile Email is becoming the most efficient and least expensive way to do this.“
