Network365 has a very focused strategy and we are determined to secure the position of technology provider of choice for the worlds leading service providers and operators.

Because we have an on the ground presence in this leading market, we are better positioned than many of our competitors when operators in Europe and the rest of the world are looking to mirror the success of Japan and want to deploy mobile services to their customers.
