Synchronica plc, the international provider of next-generation mobile messaging solutions, has received a purchase order from an Indian handset manufacturer to bundle Synchronica's infrastructure software, Mobile Gateway, to provide push email, instant messaging and social networking services for a range of devices to be introduced later this year.

The deal, worth an initial value of US$ 1.4 Million, was won in partnership with a reseller of mobile Value Added Services (V AS). The reseller offers Synchronica’s solutions to its customers across the Indian sub-continent. This is the third device manufacturer to license Mobile Gateway for bundling with devices targeting Indian consumers.

Synchronica CEO, Carsten Brinkschulte comments: “This is a key contract win in what may soon become the most important mobile market globally. It again demonstrates the relevance of Synchronica’s products in fast growing, highly competitive markets. Mobile Gateway allows device manufacturers to connect their customers to existing Internet communities, adding Smartphone-like messaging services onto mass-market phones - at a fraction of the cost.”

Synchronica has a strong and growing foothold in India with three Indian device manufacturers and two large mobile network operators already contracted to use Synchronica’s award-winning products. ss online services.
