Catalan term or phrase: mediació
this is for a telecomms business report and the only word that arises in the dictionary is "mediation", which seems wrong in this context...
The whole sentence is "El 2005 s’han assolit la mediació de la central de telefonia mòbil MSC i la de dades GPRS, i s’han trobat en vies de desenvolupament les dels altres serveis"
Thanks very much

English translation:partnership / association
Explanation:
"Mediar" is to be in the middle of two people/enterprises/telecom systems so that they can work together, so I guess what they acomplished was the association of both systems.

conciliation, settlement


Explanation:
Mediation is to conciliate, it is mediation. I see no other. But as in this context, I assume it refers to conflict of technological type between one and other comm.networks. So I think that perhaps is to conciliate or settle differences between both networks

compromise


Explanation:
Could it be that a compromise was reached between the two systems. (Although, given the subject, it is hard to imagine. Usually, in these cases, one system ends up supplanting another. As in the old VHS vs Betamax conflict, where the best system did not win)
