Movius Interactive Corporation has joined hands with Neutral Tandem, Inc. to enable telecommunications carriers to reduce the risk and accelerate the speed of delivering new interactive messaging applications. Movius (News - Alert) Interactive Corporation provides messaging, collaboration and mobile media solutions for service providers and enterprise customers.

 

As per the terms of the new agreement, Movius and Neutral Tandem (News - Alert) will provide messaging services to wireless, wireline, cable and broadband operators on a hosted basis.

According to Oscar Rodriguez (News - Alert), chief executive officer at Movius, present day carriers face pressure to deliver new applications to maintain a competitive advantage. However, the initial capital and operational expense required to implement these applications can result the rollout to be either delayed or cancelled.

 

Partnering with Neutral Tandem enables Movius to push carriers to accelerate their time to market while minimizing their initial expense for launching new applications like Visual Voicemail and VoiceSMS. Neutral Tandem's existing network interconnections across the country provides a logical platform to offer these applications in a redundant hosted environment.

The advanced platform developed together for the delivery of a full-featured messaging suite minimizes the risk that is traditionally associated with the deployment of new services and also eliminates the management of ongoing software upgrades and patches.

 

The solution will be hosted in Neutral Tandem's redundant hosting environment that offers battery and generator backup power and dual entrance fiber facilities. Neutral Tandem, Inc. provides tandem interconnection services to wireless, wireline, cable and broadband telephony companies.

Movius solutions also meet the demands of business customers with additional applications like unified messaging, fax mail, auto attendant, conferencing, video conferencing and data collaboration.
