US firm snaps up telecommunications solutions provider

US firm Tango Networks has acquired a Leeds-based provider of mobile services and telecommunications solutions.

Founded in 2009 by Gavin Sweet and John Murray, Simetric Telecom operate telecoms systems that afford organisations the same call handling, call recording and switchboard services on their employee’s mobile phones as they would on their desktop handsets.

The acquisition, by Texas-based Tango Networks, creates a combined workforce of 52 people and was completed for an undisclosed sum.

Gavin Sweet, managing director of Simetric, said: “Joining forces with Tango Networks will raise our service offerings and market reach to an entirely new level.

“We have always delivered innovative services that create a truly unified telecommunications experience for our customers. Now with Tango Networks we are positioned in the vanguard of the new enterprise mobility revolution.”

Doug  Bartek, CEO of Tango Networks, added: “The Simetric and Tango Networks combination creates an unmatched portfolio of solutions for enterprise mobile communications.

“We’re committed to providing Simetric’s community of partners and resellers with the same reliable, innovative services and high level of support that they have received from Simetric over the years.”

The combined offerings will integrate “mobile native” voice, text and data communications with enterprise telephony and applications. This will allow users to give enterprise customers a ubiquitous, global communications fabric, covering all employees in any location.

Simetric is now operating as a subsidiary of Tango Networks.
