The new MMS services will be launched by go mobile to its 110,000 subscribers using LogicaCMG's Multimedia Messaging Service Centre (MMSC) during May 2003. These new services build on go mobile's existing enhanced messaging services and will allow subscribers to send content-rich multimedia messages including photos, audio and video clips.
Juanito Camilleri, CEO of go mobile, said: "Launching MMS services marks the next stage in our business strategy and will enable us to tap into new revenue streams. LogicaCMG's technical excellence and proven track record in MMS made it the obvious choice to deliver these new services."
The high-performance, high availability solution deployed by LogicaCMG for go mobile provides the scalability necessary to maintain the quality of service users expect from MMS services. Critical functions such as transcoding, which ensures an optimum end-user experience by adapting the multimedia messages to all different handsets supported underpin the high levels of service delivered by LogicaCMG. This is further reflected in the systems integration and support that LogicaCMG is delivering as part of the solution.
Alan Coad, senior vice president and general manager EMEA, LogicaCMG Wireless Networks, said: "LogicaCMG offers a flexible and scaleable MMS solution which will enable go mobile to launch and collect revenue for MMS services quickly. We have an ongoing relationship with go mobile and have established a reputation for reliability and first-class performance. We are committed to using our market experience to make mobile services work for our customers."
