Austin, TX – 14 March 2011 — Eyeline Communications Inc., a leading developer of GSM signaling solutions and global provider of USSD-based mobile services, joins Wholesale Applications Community (WAC) – an initiative committed to building an open applications platform.
WAC is an alliance of the world’s leading telecom companies such as China Mobile, Vodafone, Sony Ericsson and others, working together to set the standards, which give developers the opportunity to write applications that can be deployed across multiple Operating Systems and multiple operators.

Andrey Deriabin, Director Business Development, Eyeline, commented: “WAC is an important industry initiative as it sets out an open model for app development, rather than network-locked application models. Eyeline has been always standing for making mobile services available globally for everyone with a mobile phone, not limited to those with smartphones or a particular operator.”
“For years, we have said that mobile subscribers are interested in applications that work on all mobile handsets and across all mobile networks,” said Andrey Deriabin. “Together with our partners we developed award winning services of that kind that comprise both the usage of mobile web and USSD technologies. For example, Arrivedok.mobi, the Personal Flight Tracker, or Global Recharge Solution for Atos Worldline. Now WAC is to expand standards for interoperable solutions that help developers to build new fascinating apps.”
