Transatel, Pure Cloud to launch FMC MVNO-in-a-box in the UK

Transatel and Pure Cloud Solutions will together launch in March what they claim is the first true FMC MVNO-in-a-box. Using Transatel's technical architecture, Pure Cloud Solutions will address resellers and customers clients in the UK with a true fixed-mobile convergence product with plug-and-play capabilities. The introduction will enable quick and massive deployment of FMC offers in the channel, to address demand from SMEs. 

The product is fully integrated at network level for both fixed and mobile components, and entirely cloud-based, with no need for installation or a new technical infrastructure. The companies said that joint FMC is productised, white labeled, ready-to-use and fully integrated with Operating Support Systems, Business Support Systems and relevant apps. It is also native and therefore provide UC capabilities. These include seamlessly bridging office phone services to mobile devices, permitting the use of just one phone number and one voice mailbox, extending the capabilities of a PBX to smartphones and featurephones alike, and creating a virtual desk extension. 

Centile is a partner in the project with its ISTRA platform, delivering a comprehensive range of PBX features. The service runs across the EE network through a wholesale agreement with BT, ensuring that customers using the service will have access to 4G speeds and coverage.
