NMS Communications today announced the acquisition of Openera Technologies. Openera will become an integral part of NMS’s Mobile Applications business.

I wrote about Openera back in December. They  make IMS mobile client applications for both fixed and mobile operators, and in fact launched a P2P video sharing application when last we spoke.

This is good news for the whole Openera team - I'd like to congratulate Joel Hughes, Openera CEO on yet another success. My feeling is he just really likes his NMS business cards.  ;)

Completion of the transaction is expected to occur within the next few weeks, for consideration of $16.4 million in stock, approximately 51 percent of which is contingent upon the continued employment of key employees of Openera over the 30-month period following the closing.

A conference call will be held on Tuesday, February 14, 2006 at 11:00 am ET to discuss the details of the announcement.  The call will be available live via the Internet by accessing the NMS Web site under the Investor Relations section.
