Two acquisitions in our space:
- Few week after Mavenir acquired the DSC vendor Ulticom (see "Mavenir Turns Ulticom OEM to Acquisition" - here), it has been acquired by Mitel:
"Mitel announced that that they have entered into a definitive merger agreement in which Mitel will acquire all of the outstanding shares of Mavenir common stock in a cash and stock deal valued at approximately $560 million .. With an established footprint of over 130 mobile customers including 15 of the top 20 mobile carriers worldwide, Mavenir is a leader in 4G LTE mobile solutions helping to define the market with a series of industry firsts, including: the world's first live network deployments of Voice over LTE (VoLTE) and RCS5 with MetroPCS (now T-Mobile); the first mobile network deployment of IMS-based VoWi-Fi (Wi-Fi calling) with T-Mobile US; and the first implementation of Virtualized RCSe with Deutsche Telekom.
The deal provides Mavenir the financial and operational footprint to drive further market expansion of the company's award-winning mobile solutions.
