Synchronoss gains technology leadership in
one of the fastest growing smartphone markets in Southeast
Asia
Synchronoss Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:SNCR), the mobile
innovation leader that provides cloud solutions and software-based
activation for mobile carriers, retailers and OEMs around the
world, is set to launch its personal cloud and network activation
services solutions in Vietnam, as the country’s mobile sector
expands and large numbers of subscribers upgrade to smartphones and
consume increasing amounts of mobile data.
Synchronoss will be deploying its award-winning network
information and device activation software solutions and its
award-winning white-label Synchronoss Personal Cloud™ solution to
optimise the wholesale telecommunications services business’,
provision subscribers with new smartphones and also provide them
with their own personal cloud-based back-up and storage service for
mobile data.
The Vietnamese mobile market is one of the most dynamic and
fast-growing in the Asia-Pacific region. According to a June 2015
report from the General Statistics Office of Vietnam, the country
has 136.9 million mobile subscriptions, including 29.1 million 3G
subscriptions - a year-on-year increase of 29.6 per cent. According
to international research firm IDC, Vietnam is the fastest growing
smartphone market in Southeast Asia, and smartphone sales will
continue to increase for at least the next five years. In 2014,
smartphone shipments into Vietnam totalled 11.6 million units,
representing year-on-year growth of 57 percent.
Vietnam’s lack of fixed telecoms infrastructure means that the
mobile phone is often the only way for many people to access the
internet. In addition, the low cost of data in Vietnam means that
consumers use their phone for a growing range of “mobile first”
features and services, such as e-commerce sites, social media, and
news and infotainment. This extends to watching video on websites
like YouTube and also native Vietnamese sites.
“The arrival of affordable smartphones and low-cost data plans
in Vietnam and other high-growth emerging markets has created
demand among subscribers in these regions for mobile-first content
and services,” said Chris Halbard, EVP and President International
at Synchronoss. “This in turn creates an important new opportunity
for Synchronoss.”
“Wherever they are in the world, mobile users today want easy,
fast and secure access to their personal content and data on a
variety of devices,” he continued. “Our work with our partners in
Vietnam shows the significance and value of white-label cloud
services to operators, both in mature established markets and
increasingly developing nations, to expand their relationship with
customers and as a platform to launch new services and generate new
revenues.”
Synchronoss’ network and device activation service solutions are
carrier-grade, software-as-a-service platforms that enable mobile
operators and OEMs to provide a competitive network from both a
service level and cost perspective, then activate and provision new
devices and service bundles for users, seamlessly and
automatically. This seamless user experience is also a key feature
of the Synchronoss Personal Cloud solution, which is used by some
of the world’s biggest operators, including AT&T, Verizon,
Vodafone, Orange and Singtel, to provide their subscribers with an
own-branded cloud service that automatically backs up, synchronizes
and stores all their personal contacts, content and data, for
accessing across a range of different devices.
Synchronoss Personal Cloud is device and OS-agnostic, and is
able to support a broad range of devices, mobile Operating Systems
and connectivity types – including 3G, LTE and Wi-Fi.
