Joint demonstration will allow all 3GSM participants to find restaurants and entertainment throughout Barcelona
CALGARY, ALBERTA -- February 09, 2007 -- Call Genie Inc. (TSX VENTURE: GNE), the leading provider of Voice-enabled, Mobile Local ("VoMoLo") search solutions to wireless carriers, directory assistance providers and Yellow Pages publishers, MobileGates, a leading provider of mobile location-based mapping applications and Schober, a leading provider of European business data, today announced that they will demonstrate multiple Call Genie based solutions for Enhanced Business Category Search at the 3GSM World Congress to be held in Barcelona, Spain February 12 - 14, 2007.
With over 1,300 exhibitors and over 55,000 attendees, the 2007 3GSM World Congress is the largest wireless industry event in the world.
Call Genie and Schober will demonstrate the FunFinder Enhanced Business Category Search for the greater Barcelona area. Utilizing Call Genie's Enhanced Voice Directory ("EVD") software and Schober's business data, participants of the 3GSM World Congress will be able to stop by Call Genie's booth to locate local restaurants and entertainment in Barcelona.
Separately, Call Genie and MobileGates will demonstrate Enhanced Business Category Search with interactive, multi-modal mapping for several major metropolitan cities. This capability will offer callers a rich interactive display of the top listings, locations and other content directly on their handset.
Voice-enabled Mobile Local Search is the newest way for wireless carriers to offer their subscribers enhanced directory assistance based on business category search. Unlike handset software-based solutions, VoMoLo services can be accessed from any wireless network and mobile phone, thus allowing carriers to deploy solutions much faster with a significantly reduced total cost of ownership.
Call Genie's EVD platform enables wireless carriers, Yellow Pages publishers and directory assistance providers to offer a valuable new monetization channel. EVD provides callers with a rich offering of business category listings that are both location and landmark-based and thus highly targeted and relevant. EVD based services can be made available to all wireless subscribers at no incremental cost. This allows all wireless carriers to meaningfully increase average revenue per subscriber (ARPU) with significantly lower deployment and ongoing operational costs.
Call Genie representatives and Category Search Specialists will be available during the 3GSM Conference. To find restaurants or entertainment in Barcelona during 3GSM, see a demonstration of EVD or learn more about Call Genie, please stop by Hall 2 Stand 2F60 (adjacent to the French Pavilion) at 3GSM.
