Synchronica RCS as a Service launched

Synchronica plc. has launched Synchronica RCS as a Service, a pay-as-you-grow solution for mobile operators. 

Synchronica's solution is based on technology from NewPace. By using Synchronica's hosted RCS service, mobile operators can avoid the need to implement their own, costly IMS core network and can instead undertake a more cost-effective and accelerated rollout to subscribers. Synchronica RCS as a Service also allows groups of mobile operators in one country to benefit from a joined-up RCS experience, irrespective of whether they have all deployed an IMS core, by launching their services simultaneously to enable cross-network messaging between subscribers.

Kim Hartlev, Chief Technical Officer, Synchronica said, "Synchronica's RCS as a Service provides mobile operators with a unique opportunity to cost-effectively change the way we use our mobile phones. With our solution, operators don't need to invest in an IMS core, and from our global data centers, they can rapidly introduce their service within twelve to 16 weeks."

"We believe that operators shouldn't have to abandon legacy investments as a means of deploying new technology. At the same time, we recognize that RCS is an evolving standard which will face regular technical revisions. Because Synchronica's solution is hosted on behalf of the mobile operator, it's easy for us to deploy software upgrades as the RCS-e specification evolves, keeping the mobile operator's service fully up to date without facing additional costs", continues Hartlev.
