Telecom operator Nextel Peru has selected Comverse for digital services and broadband solutions for consumers and enterprises.

In addition, Comverse will handle managed services for Nextel Peru, the third-largest mobile telephony company in Chile, with a market share of 5.8 percent in the first half of 2013.
