As digital content consumption accelerates, we’re excited to help operators capture this growing demand and deliver a seamless, secure cloud experience for users to protect and relive their most treasured moments.”

Telkomsel, Indonesia’s largest mobile network operator, is the first to deploy Capsyl Cloud, making this solution available to millions of Telkomsel’s prepaid and post-paid subscribers. Lesley Simpson, VP Digital Lifestyle at Telkomsel, stated, “Telkomsel is always striving to provide a range of cloud solutions that make our customers’ daily lives easier. With Capsyl Cloud Storage by Synchronoss, customers can store and manage their photos, videos, and other important content more securely and conveniently. We hope this service will be a practical solution for those who want to ensure their precious memories are well-preserved and can be easily shared at any time.”

Following Telkomsel’s successful deployment, Synchronoss anticipates strong demand for Capsyl Cloud in Southeast Asia, particularly in Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam. Operators in these regions are actively seeking revenue-generating cloud services to increase ARPU, reduce churn, and strengthen customer engagement.
