Telenity and VoiceAge enable wireless delivery of content-rich multimedia services

Content is the killer app as wireless handsets morph into micro-computers with the kind of memory you had in your desktop just a few years ago, and users now demand the same multimedia services on their cell phones as they get at their desktop PCs.

Monroe, CT and Montreal, Canada, February 23, 2004 – Telenity, a leading provider of IP-based service platforms to the wireless industry, and VoiceAge, a leading provider of technology for multimedia messaging and content, today announced the integration of Telenity’s Canvas™ Multimedia Message Service Center and VoiceAge’s SPOT xde® Server.

Content-based messaging drives the multimedia market. The Telenity and VoiceAge alliance supports Open Mobile Alliance standards, and moves these specifications into the next generation with support of more formats and sophisticated content management for GSM and CDMA networks. This means subscribers can access and use multimedia messages and content services as easily on their handsets as on their desktop PC.

“When we’re talking about next generation messaging we’re really talking about content, and how to give users the same wireless experience with multimedia services that they take for granted when on their desktop PCs,” says Laurent Amar, president of VoiceAge. “We’re making it practical and affordable for network operators to quickly expand their MMS service offerings by optimizing multimedia files for the receiving device. Operators can just as aggressively brand those offerings to protect their revenue growth.”

“For network operators, choosing the right technology is important to ensure that subscribers can send and receive their MMS messages crisply and cleanly across different networks,” says Bekir Serbet, president and CEO at Telenity. “The moment carriers can leverage multimedia messaging with multimodality, location-based and content services, they not only increase revenue but also lower churn and raise ARPU. Just as significantly, network operators can far more easily introduce business models that now include the enhanced network infrastructure, new services and content to enrich the end user experience.”
