Harrogate mobile communications group looks at opportunities in Israel
COMMUNICATIONS group Mobile Tornado today announced the appointment of a former Motorola executive as a new regional director.
The Harrogate-based group, run by Jeremy Fenn, the former Leeds United chief executive, provides instant communications services for mobile devices.
It has appointed Shmulik Nehama as regional director of Israel to continue the development of this division and to manage the extensive pilot deployments across the region where it sees major opportunities.
Mr Nehama began his career at Motorola where he helped develop the business behind the first ‘push to talk’ (PTT) deployments.
Following this, he was a member of the leadership team which founded Motorola Integrated Radio Systems Communications (MIRS), a wireless telecommunication company based in Israel, which focussed on PTT and was heavily involved in setting up PTT platforms and establishing the PTT market in Israel.
Jeremy Fenn, CEO said: “We are delighted that we have recruited Shmulik Nehama to run this new division. Shmulik was one of the founders and head of sales for Mirs Group which provided Israel’s Home Front Command’s phone network for all national emergencies and so has unrivalled experience and contacts with major corporate target customers in the region. With its unique expertise across PTT technologies, the company believes it has a unique and significant opportunity to rapidly become the dominant direct to enterprise player in the rapidly expanding market for PTT in Israel and we are particularly excited about this opportunity and look forward to updating investors on our progress in due course.
”On a global basis, we are clearly building momentum as a leader in the field of PTT with an expanding pipeline of new business across both the developing and established mobile communication markets as more blue-chip enterprises and global Tier 1 mobile network operators subscribe to our technology platform.”
