Vic Bozzo, CEO of Pareteum commented, "Last year we set in motion a strategy to acquire customers in every corner of the globe by giving them one simple platform and connectivity in as many places as we could through partnerships with incumbent Mobile Network Operators and Carriers.  This latest win is specifically a result of the hard work of our talented sales force and market leading technology with simple interfaces and bundled connections."
