Nextra and GRIC offer roaming service in over 90 countries

Nextra CEO Morten Lundal said “We see availability and mobility as a key factor for companies and their employees. Nextra has therefore developed solutions with GRIC that enable mobile workers to do their job effectively, wherever they are. This strategic focus is in line with Nextra being a true business communication service provider.”

The GRIC service complements the Nextra Net global roaming service, building a strong global presence in 95 countries. Nextra Net enables users to leverage several channels for mobile working, such as laptop and handheld computers (PDA), stationary PCs and WAP.
