CAPE TOWN, Nov. 18 /PRNewswire-Asianet/ --
Acision, the world's leading messaging company, announces today that Globacom, the fastest growing
telecom operator in Africa, has selected Acision to provide Value Added Services (VAS) for Globacom's
new mobile network in Ghana.
Currently one of the two biggest operators in Nigeria with over 20 million subscribers, Globacom is
actively growing in West Africa through the recent roll out of its network in Benin Republic and the
acquisition of a new operating license in Ghana. Glo Mobile Ghana is targeting market leadership with an
array of unique propositions when it launches in 2009.
The deployment of products including the Acision SMSC, Acision MMSC, Acision Voicemail, Acision
High Speed Proxy for mobile data services and Acision Prepaid System, will allow Glo Mobile Ghana to
provide compelling value-added services in an increasingly competitive market.
Glo Mobile Ghana said Acision is operating a high performance system with the capacity and flexibility
to deliver new and differentiated communication services. Acision whose local partner is African based
TechFuture Limited, has a wide range of experience that is ideal to meet Glo's pre-requisites.
"Acision is the obvious choice to partner with to replicate the success we have already achieved in
Nigeria as we expand into Ghana," said Mohamed Jameel, Globacom's Group Chief Operating Officer.
"Acision's innovation matches our vision of building the biggest and the best telecommunications network
in Africa. We have established a pedigree for providing unparalleled mobile services in any market where
we operate. This agreement between us and Acision is the start of a partnership that will enable Glo
Mobile Ghana to offer a differentiated service in the highly competitive Ghanaian market."
"With over 20 years experience in delivering innovative solutions, Acision is the ideal partner for
network start-ups and established operators alike", said Richard Lowe, General Manager, Europe and
Africa at Acision. "Working with Glo Mobile Ghana is extremely exciting for us as it further demonstrates
Acision's commitment to enabling operators in emerging markets to deliver advanced messaging services
more traditionally associated with mature markets. Globacom has ambitious expansion plans and we are
pleased to be part of the process in partnering with them to achieve their goal."
