Comverse, a unit of Comverse Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: CMVT), and the world's leading supplier of software and systems enabling network-based multimedia enhanced communications services, today announced a collaboration with ACCESS Co., Ltd., a leading provider of embedded Internet software solutions, that will enable mobile carriers to deliver the mobile Internet on a single device that supports Compact HTML (CHTML), XHTML-Basic and wireless application protocol (WAP).
With this joint solution, mobile subscribers have the ability to access advanced wireless services based on CHTML, XHTML-Basic and WAP via a single wireless device, such as a mobile phone or a PDA. This solution enhances wireless operators' service offerings, while enabling consumers around the world to experience the mobile Internet based on today's popular protocols.
"The global popularity surrounding the phenomenal growth of Japan's mobile Internet market has resulted in an increased demand for the types of services offered in that region," said Zeev Bregman, Chief Executive Officer of Comverse. "With the ACCESS and Comverse solution, carriers can utilize a multi-protocol browser and gateway solution that alleviates the need to select one protocol over another, and provides the end-user an even more compelling wireless experience."
"The collaboration between Comverse and ACCESS enables mobile operators around the world to provide innovative wireless Internet services like Japan's i-mode," said Toru Arakawa, President and Chief Executive Officer of ACCESS. "We are excited about the opportunity to work closely with Comverse in exploring the full potential of the mobile Internet."
The joint solution combines the ACCESS Compact NetFront Plus micro browser and Comverse's router-based wireless Internet gateway, Mega.flow(TM). The solution supports CHTML, XHTML-Basic and WAP protocols, as well as optimizes service with load balancing, access control, billing, management and class of service support. The Comverse mobile Internet solution offers carriers a personalized interface for corporate and consumer users. The comprehensive solution allows subscribers to access the mobile Internet based on the industry's most popular protocols on a single device.
