World’s first commercial deployment of service discovery solution on Java

Dublin, Ireland, 4th May 2005 - Cibenix, a leading provider of service discovery solutions for mobile operators, today announced the World’s first commercial service discovery solution deployment for Java devices.

Austrian Mobile Operator ONE has extended their existing ONE Smile service access and delivery platform to support subscribers with Java handsets. ONE Smile is based exclusively on Cibenix technology, and was first launched for smart phones in October 2003. Cibenix’s technology allows ONE to provide their customers with an intuitive service-centric interface on the handset, providing easy access to ONE’s data services portfolio. ONE Smile has to date been hugely successful both in driving data ARPU levels for ONE, and in clearly establishing the ONE brand identity across Austria.

The Cibenix solution for Java provides unprecedented levels of accessibility and user experience to subscribers, and allows sophisticated service discovery capabilities to be offered on both Smart and Java devices for the very first time.

Christian Riener, Marketing-Director of ONE, commented “We are happy to continue our long standing association with Cibenix. The success to date of our ONE Smile service has been due in no small part to the state-of-the-art Cibenix platform. In looking to extend the One Smile offering to Java devices, we quickly realised that Cibenix could deliver the high-levels of flexibility, reliability and usability that we required”

Garry McCollum, Cibenix CEO, said “The Cibenix service discovery solution has a proven track record in delivering significant increases in data services usage and associated APRU increases from smartphone users. The rollout of ONE Smile Java will extend this success across a much wider range of devices, and provides further evidence of our ongoing technology lead in the service discovery space”.
