Contec helps mobile service providers reduce churn

GENEVA -- Contec Innovations, a global provider of mobile data infrastructure, launched the breakthrough enhancements to its core technology, the Hornet, a mobile service delivery platform capable of hosting multiple applications in a secure and scalable environment. At ITU Telecom, Contec introduced Hornet v4.0 featuring Sandbox, a new approach for mobile service providers to develop and deploy hundreds of applications in record time.

Hornet Sandbox allows development to take place in the same application environment that hosts current mobile data services, yet reduces the risk of application deployment by restricting each application to its own fenced realm. This means no application can interfere with other applications, crash the network or over-consume server resources. These built-in controls make it possible to support even non-professional applications in a real production environment.

Hornet Sandbox opens up the development process to a larger development community. Because of it's fast and easy to deploy applications, service providers do not need to go through lengthy and expensive pre-qualification and testing procedures. Instead, they can get a whole range of applications up and running quickly and let the consumer decide which ones will be the killer apps.

In addition to Sandbox, Hornet v4.0 also includes enhanced rendering capability and MMS application support. The Hornet rendering engine makes existing Internet and Web applications wireless-friendly by presenting Web information in a format suitable for the wireless device. With fast graphical image handling and device optimised display, Hornet rendering capability enhances the experience of users surfing the Internet using a handset or PDA. With the Hornet, mobile service providers can reduce churn, gain new sources of revenue and realize rapid ROI.
