MiNO Wireless selects Blueslice ngHLR

Managed alternative roaming service provider to offer differentiated mobile VoIP and low-cost roaming services powered by Blueslice

Montreal, Canada- September 29, 2008: Blueslice Networks announced today that MiNO Wireless has purchased the Blueslice ngHLR 3000™ with enhanced features. MiNO Wireless plans to take advantage of the Multi-IMSI and VoIP technologies offered by the ngHLR 3000™ to expand their solution internationally.

With alternatives to roaming growing extensively, MiNO Wireless is offering a white-label managed service for operators to recoup lost revenues. Blueslice’s next-generation Home Location Register will enable MiNO Wireless to develop enhanced services to create and deploy customized differentiated services. These services include a state-of-the-art, low-cost, and easy-to-use roaming solution in which a subscriber can have multiple “virtual” phone numbers and identities in different networks. The net benefit for the budget traveler is attractive rates that are notably better than the dreaded traditional roaming fees.

“After careful consideration of competing platforms, we selected Blueslice’s next generation HLR to be the foundation of our managed service,” said Douglas Cheline, Vice President of Engineering and Operations for MiNO Wireless. “The ability to map multiple GSM and VoIP identities to a single user profile enables us to offer a unique service to our customer operators.”

“We are very impressed by MiNO’s innovative business model and their go-to-market strategy,” commented Frederic Bastien, VP, Product Line Management, for Blueslice Networks. “We felt MiNO was a great fit with Blueslice and expect to see significant growth from them.”
