Telcordia (http://www.telcordia.com), a global leader in the development of mobile, broadband and enterprise communications software and services, today announced that it has been selected to manage mobile number portability (MNP) in Argentina. The award was announced by the Ministerio de Planificacion Federal, Secretaria de Communicationes (SeCom) on behalf of the Comite de Portabilidad Numerica, a consortium of all mobile operators in Argentina. Along with implementing carrier-grade MNP software solution to Argentina's mobile service providers, Telcordia will provide training and managed services over the five year term. Telcordia manages number portability for more than one billion users worldwide.
Telcordia was one of multiple number portability vendors competing for the mobile number portability contract in Argentina. Along with its partner Telmark, Telcordia has established the joint venture company Administradora de la Portabilidad Argentina S.A. as part of the agreement.

With Argentina, Telcordia will now support more than 175 million mobile and fixed line subscribers across Latin America, including Chile and Mexico.
