AMSTERDAM (Thomson Financial) - Royal KPN NV said its mobile phone services unit Sympac has reached a deal with Swiss telecoms company Sunrise, a unit of TDC A/S, to expand its coverage to Switzerland.
A KPN spokesman declined to disclose the financial details of the deal, but said Sympac -- which provides solutions for European mobile communication -- has been operational in Switzerland from the start of this month.
He said Sympac provides international companies with 'a one-stop shop for all of their mobile needs' and that instead of having to talk with mobile phone operators in different countries, internationally operating companies can use the services of Sympac instead.
The deal with Sunrise means Sympac can now also offer its services to Swiss-based companies, the spokesman said.
