Clickatell
chooses Oksijen as Technology Partner
Clickatell, mobile messaging solutions provider,
announced a partnership with Oksijen,
a leading telecom and mobile internet applications
platform vendor, which is set to increase revenues
for both companies considerably over the next year.
The partnership is a strategic one, which will
enable Clickatell to roll out applications focused
on the emerging GPRS market, aimed at application
developers, telecommunications networks and aggregators.
Clickatell will expose the new platform at the WAVE
2002 developers' workshop, which they are hosting
on invitation from Cingular Wireless.
The benefit for Clickatell is that the partnership
will accelerate the development of their GPRS platform,
and allow the company to extend their offering to
mobile networks themselves. Clickatell already offers
turnkey enablement of SMS and mobile messaging solutions
to all layers of the users market, from developers
to corporates and consumers. The company's focus
is on enablement technologies, allowing rapid integration
of legacy systems into global mobile data delivery
channels. Clickatell has chosen to use the Oksijen
platforms to maintain its status as market leader,
as innovative Oksijen products are already proven
in high stress networks and they provide wide range
of opportunities for the global market.
Managing Director of Clickatell, Pieter de Villiers,
believes that the Oksijen agreement, signed in Istanbul
in April, positions Clickatell for the future: "As
new technologies are being adopted globally, mobile
networks are frantically scurrying to find revenue
models and applications to support the rollout of
GPRS. Clickatell and Oksijen have a solution that
will enable rapid deployment of applications and
the creation of new revenue opportunities. This
we have found to be a key requirement from our clients
and distribution partners, and we are excited to
be in a position to offer this to the global community."
Clickatell is already in talks with mobile networks
in the USA and Africa on deployment, and will release
its first integrated platform within the next few
months.
