Aricent Expands Managed Testing Services for Mobile Operators

Aricent, the full-service, full-spectrum communications software company, announced a major expansion of its managed testing services practice. With mobile network operators looking to increase efficiencies and reduce costs in testing to enable the faster and cheaper roll-out of new and innovative services, Aricent’s managed testing services provide complete support from strategy to implementation and across an operator’s network infrastructure, device portfolio and applications. Aricent recently completed the acquisition of DataLinx, a New York-based OSS/BSS systems development and integration services communications consultancy with extensive testing capabilities in its portfolio.

“Mobile operators are facing increasing complexity when it comes to developing, deploying and supporting a compelling and consistent user experience across multiple networks and on to a seemingly limitless variety of handsets,” said Ash Bhardwaj, CEO, Aricent. “Against this backdrop, not only do today’s mobile operators need to draw on cross-domain experts with skills in each of the operator’s technology areas, but they have to be able to do so with maximum flexibility and minimum overhead. Mobile operators are therefore looking to global sourcing strategies to deliver the flexibility, control and cost efficiency across the organization that they need. We’re delighted that tier one operators are selecting Aricent to be their end-to-end managed testing services partner and to enable them to continue to deliver innovative and exciting services to their subscribers.”
