Santa Barbara, CA, (July 01, 2008) - 724 Solutions, a leading provider of next generation mobile data solutions enabling seamless communications in an IP-based world, today announced the availability of Seamless Messaging – MMS Edition, a solution to expand a mobile operator’s MMS offerings to include new multimedia content from premium subscription content, social networking and user generated content.
724’s Seamless Messaging – MMS Edition opens up the entire world of multimedia applications to drive new MMS revenue and rich communications. Mobile operators can now allow subscribers to share content via social networking sites with friends, make the mobile channel the preferred channel for subscribers to upload and share user generated content and make the mobile device the point of capture for user generated content. Seamless Messaging - MMS Edition also enables mobile operators to exploit advertising services as part of the MMS channel in order to expand to new business models for messaging services. Seamless Messaging – MMS Edition is a single comprehensive next generation multimedia messaging platform, optimized for all of a mobile operator’s MMS services: person-to-person messaging, application based content messaging and rich and fresh subscription-based services.
“Mobile operators now have unbounded possibilities to grow MMS revenues from the vast amount of multimedia applications ideally suited for messaging, such as user generated content for social networking,” said Ian Pattison, Chief Technology Officer at 724 Solutions.
724’s Seamless Messaging – MMS Edition maximizes the profitability of MMS services for mobile operators by uniquely matching the capital and operating expenditure with the market value of MMS services and provides an intelligent routing capability for least cost routing of MMS messages between carriers. The solution’s reliable, scalable and flexible platform has already been providing bulk subscription-based MMS services for Vodafone UK and Swisscom.
“As mobile operators continue expand and differentiate their multimedia messaging services, and as future IP-based messaging and IMS messaging services are deployed, Seamless Messaging – MMS Edition’s modular architecture can be easily expanded to include those messaging domains and services,” added Pattison.
Built as a comprehensive next generation MMS solution, 724’s Seamless Messaging – MMS Edition optimizes the delivery of all types of MMS traffic to provide a highly performant, reliable, scalable and extensible solution at the lowest total cost of ownership for mobile operators. The solution is capable of scaling from a few hundred thousand subscribers to subscriber bases associated with the largest operators in the world.
