Motive Entitlement Server Fully Certified for Apple and Google RCS: Vivo Brazil Among First Implementations
Sao Paulo, Brazil – October 1, 2025 – Motive announced today that its latest release of Motive Entitlement Server, has officially passed all Google Rich Communication Services (RCS) certification tests, including comprehensive edge case validations. This milestone confirms that operators deploying this release are well-positioned for seamless RCS onboarding across Android and iOS platforms, including Apple’s upcoming launch.
The certification caps off a year of technical collaboration with Google and builds on recent success with Vivo Brazil (part of the Telefónica Group), one of the first operators globally to certify and prepare for commercial Apple RCS support.
“This certification cements Motive’s position as the go-to partner for RCS readiness,” said Jeevithan Muttu, VP Product and R&D at Motive. “We’ve built a carrier-grade path forward, future-proofed for Apple and Google, and tested at scale in partnership with Tier 1 operators like Telefónica.”
Vivo Brazil Leads RCS Evolution in Latin America
As the largest mobile operator in Brazil, Vivo is now live with integrated RCS messaging, including end-to-end encrypted messaging across Android and Apple devices, a significant step toward a more secure and interoperable messaging standard. With Motive’s Entitlement Server and certified infrastructure in place, Vivo is also unlocking new revenue potential through RCS Business Messaging (RBM), a rich alternative to SMS and OTT messaging for brand communication, secure OTPs, and AI-powered customer experiences.
“RCS is more than a messaging upgrade, it’s a foundation for secure communication and a new channel for business innovation,” said a senior advisor at Vivo. “Thanks to our close collaboration with Motive, we are proud to be the first in Brazil to support RCS across both Android and iOS, while preparing to bring RBM opportunities to market.”
Motive’s alignment with both Google’s RCS test suite and Apple’s iOS entitlement specifications ensures a streamlined deployment path for other operators globally.
