Comverse, a unit of Comverse Technology, Inc a supplier of software and systems enabling network-based multimedia enhanced communication services, has announced that it has commenced work with Optus, a member of the Singtel group, to deliver its Mobile Instant Messaging service based on Comverse’s Mobile IM solution. Optus has also chosen Comverse’s Presence Platform to supply its subscribers with presence-based value added services.
Mobile IM brings instant messaging to the mobile environment, closely replicating the look, feel, and functionality of the popular desktop IM user experience with real-time two-way and multi-party chat-like communication based on presence-enhanced buddy lists. IM users in
Australia
are now able, from wherever they are, to keep up with their IM contacts around the world. Optus launched its mobile IM service on several handset models using Comverse handset clients as part of the Comverse end-to-end solution.
