SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- AVG® Technologies
N.V. (NYSE: AVG), the online security company™ for devices, data
and people, today announced the availability of AVG Family Graph™
to Tigo mobile customers in Latin
America, released as Ubícame por AVG in Guatemala. Announced at Futurecom 2015, AVG
Family Graph lets subscribers locate family members' phones, even
if each is with a different mobile operator, effectively creating a
family plan by connecting all phones on one Family Graph account.
With Family Graph, Tigo Guatemala can better attract, serve and
retain valuable family customers.
AVG Family Graph is built by Location Labs by AVG, the leading
provider of mobile family locator software in the US, with mobile
operator partners including AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon
Wireless. The de facto family plan behavior Family Graph creates
leads to longer subscriber lifetimes and higher user engagement. In
the US, where more than two-thirds of consumer lines are on family
plans, evidence suggests subscribers who increase from 1 to 4 lines
stay with their mobile operator as much as 4 times longer.
"By partnering with us to launch AVG Family Graph, Tigo
Guatemala proves their commitment to attracting and retaining
families by offering products that help customers keep loved ones
more secure," said Todd Simpson,
Chief Strategy Officer, AVG Technologies. "We look forward to
helping Tigo Guatemala bring vital mobile experiences
to millions more families and increase their own value by acquiring
entire families of mobile subscribers."
"We want our mobile services to help subscribers stay connected
with the most important people in their lives adopting a digital
lifestyle," said Jorge Matamoros,
Digital Business Manager from Tigo Guatemala. Launching Family
Graph with AVG means we are making it easier than ever for
families, no matter their mobile operator, to communicate more
easily, locate each other and keep each other safer."
AVG Family Graph is available first to Tigo subscribers in
Guatemala, a significant local
market in the valuable Latin American region, where the mobile
market in South America alone is
expected to reach $275 billion USD by
2020.
