OTTAWA, Feb. 23, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mitel® (Nasdaq:MITL) (TSX:MNW), a
global leader in real-time business, cloud and mobile communications, today
announced deployment of its voice and video over LTE solution to support
Smartfren's recently announced Andromax LTE mobile device launch. Smartfren will
work closely with Mitel on the rapid rollout of new mobile services starting in
2016. Indonesia is the fifth geography to introduce VoLTE from Mitel including
major service launches in North America with T-Mobile US and in Europe with 3UK.
The speed of Smartfren's 4G LTE deployment has eclipsed the rollout in other
regions, highlighting the enormous potential for software-based mobile solutions
across Asia. As mobile operators face intense competition from disruptive market
players and over-the-top application services, Mitel's software-only VoLTE
solution allows rapid deployment optimized for driving continuous service
innovation and new revenue opportunities. The solution also supports multi-
device service delivery giving operators the ability to offer a richer suite of
integrated IP services across all access points and devices, regardless of
access network technology.
Since 2012 Mitel has supported the introduction of milestone mobile deployments
including the first VoLTE, first North American Rich Communications Services
(RCS), first IMS VoWiFi, and first network functions virtualization (NFV)-based
IMS implementation. With the Smartfren launch in Indonesia, Mitel adds to the
list with the first nationwide VoLTE service launch in the region.
