Vodafone Signs Partner Market Agreement With Entel PCS

Vodafone and Chile-based mobile service provider Entel PCS have signed a partner market agreement.

This agreement is a strategic alliance which will see the introduction of an exclusive range of Vodafone products and services made available for Entel PCS customers in the Republic of Chile.

Under the terms of this agreement, Entel PCS will have access to specific Vodafone knowledge and expertise and will be able to provide their customers with selected Vodafone roaming and eventually business and consumer products.

These products and services will include a range of push-email devices and Vodafone branded handsets. In addition to Entel PCS’s current product portfolio the company will be able to offer a series of Vodafone-branded mobile broadband USB modems, which will enable customers to access the internet from their laptops at broadband speeds over Entel PCS’s mobile network.

Richard Buchi, president of Entel PCS, said: “Now that we are partners of the world’s largest international mobile network, we will complement standards, have a greater purchasing power and generate an important critical mass. Obviously, this is an advantage, for both our end customers and Entel PCS as a company.”
