  • Consolidation of all mobile messaging protocols, including text (SMS), multimedia (MMS), Mobile Web (WAP/XHTML) and application (J2ME/BREW), into a central, easy-to-use interface.
  • Updated capabilities for transcoding content in real-time for new devices such as the Apple iPhone and the Google Android platform.
  • Enhanced location targeting capabilities, including WiFi-based indoor targeting that’s compatible with the latest WiMax broadband wireless technology.
