Mobitex Technology Wins Important Network Contract in Mexico

Mobitex Technology AB (www.mobitex.com) has been awarded a contract by Comunicaciones Nacionales Troncalizadas, SA de CV (CONATRON), a wireless service provider and network operator in Mexico, to supply and build a Mobitex™ network to cover Mexico City and its suburbs.

(PRWeb) May 9, 2007 -- Mobitex Technology AB has been awarded a contract by Comunicaciones Nacionales Troncalizadas, SA de CV (CONATRON), a wireless service provider and network operator in Mexico, to supply and build a Mobitex™ network to cover Mexico City and its suburbs. The Mobitex™ network will enable CONATRON to offer wireless services to users with very high demands on security and reliability, such as EFT/POS operations and Public Safety organizations.

CONATRON will initially focus on the electronic-funds-transfer and credit card markets where they see a clear need for the kind of secure services Mobitex excels in delivering. “Mobitex has since long been an established and successful carrier of data for credit card validations, serving a variety of operations such as taxi companies, home delivery agencies, sports arenas and venue fairs. Because of the mobility of the wireless card readers, the merchants can take their business to the customers instead of vice versa,” says Maria Ekström (Business Manager, Mobitex Technology AB).

Another aspect important to merchants is the longevity of their terminal investments. Mobitex is a stable and proven technology, meaning that the card reader terminal bought today can be used for many years to come without the need of making further investments.

”We chose Mobitex because of its reputation as the most secure and reliable wireless infrastructure,” says Armando Escalante (CEO and President of CONATRON). “The wireless market in Mexico is highly competitive. We need to offer services that exceed the ones of our competitors and we need to do it fast. Mobitex provides the tools we need”, Mr. Escalante concludes. The first service offering is expected to hit the market shortly.

The contract also involves the latest Mobitex product -- the Software Switch. The new switch consolidates switch related functionality previously stored on several hardware devices into one standard, cost efficient and user-friendly hardware platform, reducing both CAPEX and OPEX for the operator, facilitating competitive service tariffs for the users.
