Samsung has announced it has completed an agreement to acquired U.S network services provider Teleworld Solutions (TWS) and claims the acquisition is vital to accelerate and simplify 5G network rollout across the U.S.

With the demand for mobile network increasing at a very high rate, the importance of smooth 5G rollout and network densification across the U.S is key. This new partnership between Samsung and TWS will mean the demand for network infrastructure, design, deployment and optimisation is met, and it will drive 5G network builds associated with open RAN, as well as fulfil demand for new enterprise cellular networks.

“The acquisition of TWS will enable us to meet mobile carriers’ growing needs for improving their 4G and 5G networks, and eventually create new opportunities to enhance our service capabilities to our customers,” said Paul Kyungwhoon Cheun, Executive Vice President and Head of Networks Business at Samsung Electronics. “Samsung will continue to drive innovation in communications technology while providing optimization services for network deployments that accelerate U.S. 5G network expansion.”

TWS is currently a privately owned company that provides network services such as design, testing and optimisation for mobile services and cable operators across the U.S, it will now operate as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Samsung Electronics America. Samsung claims that the acquisition of TWS will complement its own growth among network infrastructure clients. TWS will continue to serve existing customers and the TWS leadership team will work together with Samsung to address the 5G network upgrade cycle currently taking place in the U.S.

“Everyone at TeleWorld Solutions is excited to be part of the Samsung family, the advent of 5G and the amount of new spectrum coming into the U.S. market requires scale and innovation for the next generation of wireless technologies. Joining forces with Samsung will accelerate innovation to help our customers fulfil their needs for network strategy, deployment, and automation,” said Shervin Gerami, CEO of TeleWorld Solutions.

There comes a time in most people's lives where we need to debate switching mobile providers, whether its due to poor signal, or a lack of upgrade deals. However, the call to ditch your provider can often be awkward and filled with salesmen trying their best to change your mind. So, in an effort to make breaking up with your provider easier in the future, Ofcom wants to implement a text messaging system.

Ofcom recognises that switching mobile providers can be a long and irritating process, claiming that at least 2.5 million British citizens faced at least one major issue while attempting to switch. With that in mind, Ofcom is now proposing a ‘text to switch' plan that would allow customers to cancel their service with a simple text message.

After sending the text, customers would receive a unique code to pass on to their new network of choice in order to get the ball rolling within one working day. This process would apply whether the customer was taking their current number with them or not.

This process would avoid customers paying for their old service while switching to their new one. It would also save network providers up to £10 million per year. Now, this is still a proposal for now and Ofcom is keeping consultations open until the 30th of June. However, a final decision should be made during the second half of this year.

KitGuru Says: I had some major problems while trying to leave my old mobile network last year, so being able to avoid the hassle with a simple text sounds like the perfect scenario. This is the sort of system I would like to see put into place but it all depends, after all, no final decisions have been made just yet.
