Deutsche Telekom's regional operating company, Telekom Albania launched its rich IP communications service leveraging Jibe Mobile's IP Communications Cloud. The deployment by Telekom Albania follows similar service rollouts by Telekom Romania and Slovak Telekom a year ago.

The service, available first as a downloadable app, replaces the native SMS/MMS messaging app on Android with a single application that enables mobile subscribers to video chat, instant message, group message, share large photos and videos while still being able to SMS and MMS with users that do not have the service. As for the iPhone, subscribers are able to download a compatible RCS application.  

Jibe Mobile, a leading provider of Rich Communications Services (RCS) solutions said that the company's end-to-end IP Communications Platform - Jibe Public Cloud, Private Cloud, brandable iOS and Android applications, RCS Hub, and Telco-Web Gateway - make it possible to launch a competitive consumer messaging service. The Jibe Cloud also allows complete localization of language, brand, color, and features for each specific market.

Carriers of all sizes and in many different locations around the globe have selected Jibe Mobile as their RCS Cloud Platform. This launch builds on increasing RCS momentum and shows carrier commitment to bring the most advanced standards-based messaging to their subscribers.

Kobus Smit, Head of Voice & Messaging at Deutsche Telekom and Chair of the IP Communications Leadership Team for the GSMA
Jibe's centralized cloud architecture is bringing significant improvement in efficiency and much faster time to market when launching RCS in multiple geographies. Based on this success, Deutsche Telekom will interconnect with other local and international carriers via Jibe's Cloud and RCS Hub.
