Wataniya partners up with Genaker for RCS deployment

Kuwaiti telecom operator, Wataniya, has signed a partnership with Genaker, the leading developer of innovative SIP-based applications, who will be showcasing its solutions during GSMA Mobile World Congress in Barcelona February, 14-17th.

Genekar was selected to provide Mobile RCS Rich Communication Suite to Wataniya, in what becomes the first commercial deployment that realizes the benefit of standards allowing the interworking of Genaker RCSv2.0 client together with the network infrastructure.

David Viamonte, Genaker Head of Sales & Marketing, said Being selected as the mobile client that will drive the RCS adoption in Kuwait makes us very proud. Our continuous commitment to both user experience and software quality have helped several clients to select our mobile RCS client for their internal trials and Wataniya will get the benefits of such early market exposure and gained experience.

RCS is the mobile industry effort driven by the GSMA to enable multimedia services and presence-enhanced contact management, right from the mobile phone contact list. Genaker, after receiving the Best RCS Innovation award from the GSMA during MWC 2010, has reached this new milestone having its product commercially adopted by a leading Operator.

With RCS multivendor rich communications services can be easily and quickly deployed, enriching subscribers lives and increasing loyalty to the service provider.
