Marcelo Erhlich, GSMA LA chairman, said, "With the success of the GSM standard worldwide and its constant evolution, it has become increasingly important to develop an association through which operators across Latin America can obtain timely and consistent information and support. GSMA Latin America has assumed this valuable role, providing operators access to seminars, publications, technical support and a vehicle through which members can contact regulatory entities and ministries within their regions -- as well as interface with key suppliers. We are thrilled to have Kabira Technologies join us as an official sponsor to help us continue our very important mission."

Dirk Epperson, co-founder and global vice president of marketing and strategy for Kabira Technologies, stated, "With over 75 GSM operators and 380 million mobile users in Latin America and the Caribbean, we believe the Latin America region is a vital part of the global mobile communications landscape. Kabira's recent announcement of our expansion of efforts in Latin America speaks to how important we feel this market is, and our sponsorship of GSMA LA is evidence that we take our commitment seriously."

GSMA LA works with industry suppliers who contribute to mobile industry activities and working groups. Official sponsors of GSMA LA also participate in these events and contribute to the GSMA LA Vision Magazine annual publication. Kabira plans to lend its significant field-proven experience and product knowledge to those efforts.

Epperson added, "Kabira's solutions manage over 700 million telecom subscribers and service over 15 billion card payments worldwide. Our service-aware solutions provide the infrastructure capabilities required by real-time business-critical processes to respond to marketing and technical challenges faced by mobile operators.
