Sell Grand Rapids Mobile Homes Fast Offers Michigan Mobile Homeowners Quick Sale Option

Easy to work with. Gave me just a little less than double what the park offered me, but made it super easy to get out quickly since I had already bought a home. Fawn J.

Mobile home buying company Sell Grand Rapids Mobile Homes Fast is offering local homeowners a quick, stress-free way to sell their unwanted mobile homes for cash.

Mobile homeowners who work with Sell Grand Rapids Mobile Homes Fast can get a quick and fair cash offer while also avoiding the inconveniences associated with listing their mobile home.

If they list their property online, homeowners have no choice but to wait for people to contact them. Then, they would need to sift through all the inquiries and check which ones are real. They would also need to schedule viewings, and even after a series of discussions, the owners might not even receive a genuine offer. Worse still, in mobile home parks the interested parties may have the cash to purchase but they may be rejected by the park management due to strict criteria. 

The same can be said if mobile homeowners decide to work with a real estate company or realtor. Just like selling a residence on land, making a mobile home attractive to buyers is crucial to attracting interest.

The homeowner would have to make their mobile home appealing to buyers by making all the necessary fixes, including repainting, replacing broken light bulbs, getting the plumbing repaired, and so on. They also need to provide good-quality photos for their listings. Not to mention commission fees!

Mobile homeowners can bypass all this by selling their home directly to Sell Grand Rapids Mobile Homes Fast – a licensed Michigan mobile home dealer, accredited by the Better Business Bureau. At Sell Grand Rapids Mobile Homes Fast, the sale process is fast and simple. Mobile home sellers only need to go through the following steps:

  • Call the company or message and express their plan to sell their Grand Rapids mobile home.
  • Sell Grand Rapids Mobile Homes Fast will come out, inspect the home, and make an offer.
  • The owner is given as much time as they need to make a decision.
  • If the owner is happy with the offer, the company handles all activities and shoulders all costs, including administrative fees, cleaning, and removal.

It doesn’t matter if the owner is facing the repossession or foreclosure of their mobile home. Whatever the situation, Sell Grand Rapids Mobile Homes Fast is ready to give a fair and honest cash offer to owners who want to sell their mobile home fast.

Founder Brandon Drzewicki says there are no hidden costs or fees. “We take great pride in what we do and seek each day to treat people fairly and humbly as if we were in their ‘shoes.’ We treat our customers with honesty and openness every step of the way.”

Rakuten Mobile and NEC Partner to Promote Open RAN in Global Telecom Markets

Rakuten Mobile, Inc. and NEC Corporation announced today the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to promote Open RAN (open radio access networks) in global mobile telecommunications markets.

In Japan, NEC is currently providing 5G radio units (5G RU) for Rakuten Mobile’s fully virtualized cloud-native mobile network. The two companies are also jointly developing Rakuten Mobile’s containerized(1) 5G Stand Alone (SA) core network (5GC)(2). Under the MoU, Rakuten Mobile and NEC will expand upon their domestic collaboration to date to provide 5G and 4G Radios and engineering services for Open RAN systems aligned with O-RAN specifications(3) for global markets, and accelerate the global expansion of the Rakuten Communications Platform (RCP).

Open RAN refers to radio access networks (RAN) where the interfaces and protocols between the RAN components are open and interoperable. This allows operators to select and combine the equipment to suit their needs and deploy networks without legacy vendor lock-in. As 5G services expand and diversify, both Rakuten Mobile and NEC are looking to promote Open RAN standards in the global market in order to further boost network scalability and the operational efficiency made possible by virtualization.

RCP, Rakuten Mobile’s fully virtualized and containerized cloud-native mobile network platform, allows telecom companies and enterprises around the world to deploy virtualized networks at high speed and low cost.

“Rakuten Mobile has successfully designed, launched and now operates a fully virtualized mobile network. This unique network architecture built on Open RAN standards continues to attract significant interest from operators, enterprises and governments around the world,” commented Tareq Amin, Representative Director, Executive Vice President and CTO of Rakuten Mobile. “With NEC’s excellent level of technical expertise in radio and track record of providing our high quality 5G sub-6 RU, this collaboration will accelerate the global expansion of Rakuten Communications Platform and promote adoption of Open RAN in global markets.”

“This MoU will empower both NEC and Rakuten Mobile to contribute in an even more comprehensive way to the opening and virtualization of cellular networks around the world,” commented NEC Executive Vice President Atsuo Kawamura. “NEC is already providing Rakuten Mobile with BSS/OSS, 5G RU and 5G core solutions for its revolutionary fully virtualized cloud-native network. We hope to continue contributing to the expansion of the Rakuten Communications Platform as it rolls out around the globe.”

By leveraging deep experience in construction and operation of a fully virtualized cloud-native mobile network and providing revolutionary services and expertise in Open RAN, Rakuten Mobile and NEC aim to provide high quality network technologies to customers around the world.

(1) In containers, the application execution environment is separated from other OS processes, allowing applications to be run using less computer resources than a virtualized environment.

(3) The O-RAN specifications are the Open RAN specifications for open and interoperable RAN defined by the O-RAN ALLIANCE. Rakuten Mobile joined the O-RAN ALLIANCE in August 2020, and in November 2020, Tareq Amin, Representative Director, Executive Vice President and CTO of Rakuten Mobile, was appointed as a member of the board of directors of the O-RAN ALLIANCE.

WAM.app, a Romanian Mobile Gaming Social Media Platform, Surges Past 1 Million Users in the First Month after Launch

Cluj-Napoca, Romania, Apr 9, 2021 – (ACN Newswire) – Meet the first mobile gaming social media network, WAM.app, allowing anyone to play at any time and place.

Since its launch on February 25th, WAM.app has reached more than 1 million active players. And the number keeps growing. WAM.app is the brainchild of Digitap, a Romanian company founded by visionary game dev and business veterans Daniel Tamas and Alex Rus whose mission is to let people socialize through gameplay.

The idea of creating WAM.app was mainly influenced by 2 factors: social distancing and the rise of hyper-casual niche. While people stay at home, the need for social interaction is increasing, so all of them spend more time online interacting with their friends and colleagues. Those people, who couldn’t name themselves “gamers” a year ago, now have at least 2-3 gaming apps installed on their phones that they regularly use to relieve stress or kill the time.

Since hyper-casual games have predominantly short retention rate, users are jumping from one game to another, which makes them spend the time to search and download new interesting games. The Digitap team has discovered this peculiarity of hyper-casuals and came up with an idea to create a single platform where all TOP titles would be available for its player. Now, users don’t have to keep numerous gaming apps on their phone – they can have them all in WAM.app. Like any other native app, it’s easy to install – simply go to Google Play Market or AppStore, find WAM.app and enjoy their favorite titles on a single platform. The Digitap team has gone even further and developed a PWA (progressive web-app), which serves as a web-version of WAM.app that can be easily saved to users’ home screen and won’t take even 1 megabyte of their phone storage.

Another marvelous feature of this social media app is the tournaments. Every new user is granted 2,500 TapCoins, an internal digital WAM.app currency that can be used to participate in public tournaments. This is where they compete with each other, while increasing their Profile rating on the national and global scale. Players can also create private tournaments to challenge their friends and colleagues.

The gaming market is in continuous expansion and products like WAM.app should fill the gap in current social media where competitiveness is not skill-based.
