The Colibria Companion IM and Presence Server and mobile clients have been deployed by Spain's premier mobile operator, Telefonica Móviles España, to launch its new messaging service, SMS 2.0. Telefonica Móviles España's subscribers will now have access to the new messaging service, SMS 2.0, which is enhancing existing SMS by adding features such as real-time messaging, buddy lists, presence information, group messaging and the ability to track entire conversations. Telefonica Móviles España's launch of SMS 2.0 represents a further step forward in response to GSMA's Personal IM initiative, enabling operators to create viable communities based on SMS and IM working together. Colibria's SMS Continuity Server allows SMS 2.0 subscribers to exchange messages with a variety of mobile clients, and from a PC-windows client to mobiles, making IM convergence a revenue-generating reality. SMS 2.0 subscribers can, via the same platform and clients, also see at-a-glance information about their buddies, reflecting their personality, moods and interests. Colibria's Companion supports SMS Continuity for legacy users, allowing the delivery of instant messages using SMS if the recipient is not equipped with an SMS 2.0 client, and encouraging the take up of the new SMS 2.0 service. In addition, Colibria's Interconnect Server will enable Telefonica Móviles España to interconnect their SMS 2.0 Service with other Messaging Communities, ensuring cross-network interconnectivity.
