UK-based Synchronica plc announced that it has signed a framework agreement with a pan-African operator group.

The agreement for Synchronica Mobile Gateway covers all of the operator's subsidiaries in Africa, and purchase orders have been issued worth USD 752,000 for professional services and initial licences required for a pilot launch. Synchronica expects the operator to launch Mobile Gateway shortly across all subsidiaries and expects expansion orders for further licences in due course. This is Synchronica's tenth agreement with an African carrier, this time a mobile operator group with subsidiaries across the continent.

"We are very pleased to have completed this deal", said Carsten Brinkschulte, CEO of Synchronica. "We look forward to a successful product rollout in Africa, and we also have the opportunity to introduce our sought-after push email, instant messaging, and social networking services across the enlarged group."
