Seeker Wireless and HP bring mobile fixed lines to Eastern Europe

Seeker Wireless and HP have announced their joint Fixed Mobile Substitution (FMS) solution has been deployed to deliver
virtual fixed-line services via mobile phones in Eastern Europe.

The solution has been deployed by one of the largest mobile operators in Eastern Europe and is providing consumers and businesses with “fixed-like” telephony services in the home or office via mobile phones. The solution eliminates the need for cables and outlets in the wall, enabling subscribers to benefit from fast and easy access to telephone services, which also include a range of value added services such as SMS.

Colin I’Anson at HP says: “Fixed Mobile Substitution is an important part of mobile operator strategy as it enables operators to expand their business and drive revenue. We partnered with Seeker Wireless because of their innovative approach to zone detection and their ability to make FMS truly profitable for operators.”

Dr Chris Drane, Chief Executive Officer at Seeker Wireless says: “FMS services are particularly significant in emerging markets where traditional fixed-line infrastructure is less prevalent. In these markets, FMS solutions like SeekerZone(tm) enable mobile operators to leapfrog traditional fixed-line services to capture additional usage and revenue. The innovative technology behind SeekerZone(tm) ensures that mobile operators maximise revenues from FMS services by delivering high
in-zone reliability and tight zones around the home or office.”
