KPN’s Mobile Networks to be Further Upgraded by KPN Mobile International and Partner Artilium
Activates mobile Internet applications based on Microsoft .NET
KPN Mobile International and Artilium announced their partnership to create new opportunities for user generated applications on KPN’s mobile networks.
This transformation was enabled the software of Artilium’s Real-Time Architecture (ARTA) for Connected Mobile Services. This software, which was designed to facilitate rapid creation of new mobile applications, was packaged as services. Artilium almost entirely designed the software platform on the Microsoft product portfolio.
The partnership includes a licensing agreement allowing KPN deployment of ARTA as a platform for next-generation converged services across its growing base of over 27 million mobile subscribers in the Benelux, Germany, and Spain.
KPN Mobile International Chief Executive Officer, Stan Miller said, “This agreement is a major boost for KPN’s strategy on MVNO’s ( Mobile Virtual Network Operators) in Europe. Artilium software allows KPN to surge to the forefront of mobile/Web innovation. We are able to open our network to developer communities worldwide to deliver an infinite range of differentiated services and an exciting new level of personalization and interactivity for subscribers. In doing so, we begin to transform the very essence of our business creating new service-centric business models across a broad value-chain that includes developers, advertisers, and our commercial partners.”
“Artilium unifies IP, PSTN, ISDN, and GSM network communications and provides the framework that securely opens the mobile network to rapid application innovation,” said Artilium Chief Executive Officer Robert Marcus.
