Openmind Networks, and its Russian partner Lanit, Thursday announced that leading Russian operator VimpelCom, the company operating the Beeline brand has extended its deployment of its Traffic Control Mobile Messaging Platform. VimpelCom will leverage Openmind's Traffic Control Platform to support SMS traffic in Moscow and Central Russia during normal and peak periods.
According to Openmind Networks, the operator also intends to use Traffic Control for SMS traffic on its network at non-peak times. The new roll out marks yet another expansion of VimpelCom's existing Traffic Control deployment after it has previously deployed SMSCs and Application Routers platforms.
Andrey Klimov, Head, Service Network Development Department, VimpelCom
Openmind's Traffic Control Platform has been very impressive in generating efficiencies across our network. The new high-performance and very flexible SMS Infrastructure from Openmind allows us to implement new services much faster and more cost effectively. We look forward to further expanding our relationship with Openmind and Lanit in the future.
Alex Duncan, CEO, Openmind

We are absolutely delighted they have decided to expand our platform to support their messaging needs even further.
