Aicent will bring to Syniverse connectivity, roaming and interworking solutions that will ultimately enable Syniverse’s customers to deliver enhanced mobile experiences based on end-user mobile context.

Aicent’s cloud-based analytic tools that monitor customer experience and quality of service will enhance Syniverse’s real-time intelligence solutions.

The combination of Syniverse’s and Aicent’s policy-related solutions will improve the time to market of a realized mobile-context delivery solution – enabling subscribers to interact within their mobile context in real time.
