The new Managed Services platform will be locally hosted and connected to the largest wireless network in the country and includes Pareteum’s ability to extend its Global Mobility Cloud Platform to the LatAm region. The initial on-boarding of subscribers is expected to commence in the fourth quarter of 2017.
“Brazil represents a major market opportunity for Pareteum. With the execution of this new agreement we have a well-positioned and established market partner which is poised to leverage its existing digital payments business in support of new brands and service applications throughout Brazil and LatAm. Pareteum has established a number of relationships in Brazil and now with this agreement completed, we will deploy our Managed Services platform and provide services with our new partner extending to our wide array of relationships. Our client expects to grow by entering the mobile communications and IoT markets, fully engaging the growing number of partners and potential customers we have already cultivated in Brazil.
