Founded in 2002 in Germany, Tyntec is set to launch services in Brazil. The company is a mobile interaction specialist which provides solutions that enable enterprises to integrate mobile telecom services for a wide range of uses. During an exclusive interview, business development director Sven Dirschauer said the Tyntec is waiting for a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) license. “We are in talks with an MNO and a law firm, and we are looking at the regulatory environment,” Dirschauer said.
Dirschauer believes that services could be launched this year. “The contract is ready with the MNO. Commercially, we are ready, but we have to finalize the regulatory requirements,” Dirschauer said, without disclosing the MNO’s name.

Around the globe, Tyntec serves a broad range of market sectors, working with mobile operators, Internet companies and enterprises of all industries to power application-to-person (A2P) and person-to-application (P2A) mobile interaction services.
Targeting Brazilian enterprises, including Internet firms, Tyntec is focusing on providing three services: SMS services (integrating global inbound and outbound SMS into any application); outgoing, cheap, international calling; and services to development firms.
“We are an aggregator, and we will also provide virtual numbers,” said Dirschauer. Actually, the company already offers some products to Brazilian customers, such as SMS services for several applications, such as for marketing purposes.
Brazil is often a landing country in Latin America. Dirschauer noted that the country provides the biggest opportunity in the region. “It is our focus, since it is the biggest and the most interesting market,” he said. “There’s a huge potential base for us.”
When asked how much Tyntec is investing to begin operations in Brazil, Dirschauer just said it is a “7-digit number in euros,” adding that the equipment is very expensive.
