Recently, General Communication, Inc. (GCI (News - Alert)) of Anchorage, AK, selected Interop Technologies to offer the mobile network operator various wireless solutions.


The Interop Technologies WAP Gateway (News - Alert) helps users easily identify and monitor top links, content and off-portal traffic. Further enhancing their subscribers' experience, the company’s complete tool set allows users to immediately validate and manage links and images in their customized WAP deck.

Along with Interop’s (News - Alert) WAP Solutions, GCI has also selected Interop Short Message Service Center (SMSC), Multimedia Messaging Service Center (MMSC), Messaging Personalization and Control (MPAC) solution, and CDMA Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system.

With the help of a modified-hosted deployment, where Interop manages the solutions but the technology resides at GCI’s network operations center, GCI plans to introduce the Interop solutions in Q4 2012. Apart from enabling the company to deliver 4G messaging services immediately, The Interop SMSC 4 Series is a highly modular, scalable solution that will allow GCI to enhance its messaging customer base.

The operator can affordably support large volumes of multimedia messages with the Interop MMSC. GCI can now create strong, effective branding suited to its subscribers by putting together the MMSC with the Interop Technologies WAP deck.

“We are pleased to expand our relationship with GCI, enabling it to further its strategy of providing subscribers the most advanced communication features and value-added services,” said Fred Farrell, vice president of North American Sales, Interop Technologies. “By offering these solutions, GCI can continue to increase its competitive edge and capture new revenue in the Alaskan market.”

Recently, the company announced that Chat Mobility and Northwest Missouri Cellular (NorthwestCell) have selected Interop to offer various hosted solutions consisting of its Multimedia Messaging Service Center (MMSC), Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) Gateway, Common Short Code (CSC (News - Alert)) Gateway, and Over-the-Air (OTA) device provisioning platform with integrated Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system.
