Mobileum Inc. Acquires Developing Solutions
CUPERTINO, Calif., June 22, 2021, /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/--

Acquisition Expands Mobileum's Market Leadership in 5G Testing

Mobileum Inc. ("Mobileum"), a leading global provider of analytics solutions 
for roaming and network services, security, risk management, testing, and 
monitoring, is pleased to announce that it has acquired Developing Solutions, a 
network testing software provider that focuses on core network testing for load 
and lab use cases covering 3G, 4G, 5G and IP Multimedia Subsystem ("IMS"). 
 
The acquisition of Developing Solutions continues Mobileum's growth strategy, 
building a telecom-focused analytics platform with a robust testing 
infrastructure and a widespread set of network interfaces, allowing operators 
to optimize operational efficiency and improve customer experience as they 
transition to 5G and next generation networks.

"The acquisition of Developing Solutions is a natural step in Mobileum's 
evolution, as we continue to consolidate the market and build an actionable 
analytics platform together with an end-to-end testing infrastructure to 
support telecom operators along their transformation journey. With the advent 
of 5G, operators must adapt to market changes faster, while still maintaining 
the highest standard of service performance. Therefore, it is increasingly 
important that carriers have integrated core testing capabilities that 
transcend the 5G ecosystem, and the power to monitor the performance of 
high-density data within a backdrop of networks that are increasingly complex, 
automated, and dynamic," commented Bobby Srinivasan, CEO of Mobileum. 

"As the launch of 5G standalone networks, new IoT use cases, and network 
slicing continue to accelerate, the ability for telecom operators to fully 
automate the testing of new services and applications will be critical to 
increasing their business agility and supporting new revenue streams. By 
joining Mobileum, we will be able to offer our customers a fully integrated, 
unified solution that encompasses all of their testing needs - from the lab to 
the live network," commented John Minnis, CEO and Founder of Developing 
Solutions.

Mobileum has consistently grown its suite of analytics offerings in the years 
following its 2016 acquisition by Audax Private Equity. Building on 19 years of 
leadership in roaming, Mobileum relied on its knowledge of mobile 
telecommunications to develop its 'Active Intelligence' platform that empowers 
real-time actionable insights across roaming, testing, fraud, and security 
domains. 

Developing Solutions has been a long-term Mobileum partner in the testing 
domain. This acquisition will allow the two companies to build on their 
partnership and to integrate Developing Solutions' dsTest product with 
Mobileum's Active Testing solution, SITE. The combined solution will provide 
telecom operators with end-to-end testing and verification solutions for the 
entire network and service lifecycle, from lab to production. Mobileum's 
expanded offering will provide carriers with a customizable, end-to-end 
application testing platform that easily integrates with other automation tools 
and reduces operational costs by enabling modern, continuous integration and 
delivery with a DevOps approach. 

The integration will allow automated testing in a Continuous Integration and 
Continuous Deployment ("CI/CD") environment, providing extensive 5G core 
emulation capabilities, API testing, and 5G test automation capabilities. The 
combination of the two companies will facilitate the development and deployment 
of new tests, improving flexibility and allowing users to address any 5G test 
scenario, leading to faster service launches and lower operational costs.
 
This acquisition will also strengthen Mobileum's engineering team and enhance 
its 5G Core Network skills and expertise, expanding its capacity to help solve 
some of the most complex challenges emerging at the core of the network and to 
serve its more than 900 customers around the globe.
