The whole world of mobile messaging and social networking on the home
screen: LiveMedia C³ Cubical integrates SMS, MMS, Email, Visual
Voicemail, Instant Messaging and social networks into a single mobile
application
Cologne,
Germany, November 24, 2009: Communology, a German software and solutions vendor specializing in client software for mobile communications,
introduced LiveMedia C³ Cubical, a centralized personal mobile
communications application that provides access to the most popular
mobile communication channels on the home screen. Integrating user interfaces and contact management sources, the
client software unifies Internet services like Instant Messaging and
social networks as well as cell-phone functions such as SMS/MMS, Email
or Visual Voicemail. LiveMedia C³ Cubical
is a pre-packaged, highly adaptable mobile application. Software
clients will soon be available for Symbian, Windows Mobile and Android
phones. C³ Cubical enables mobile network operators to offer personal
mobile communications dedicated to the requirements of hyperconnected
users. Members of this rapidly growing group typically use multiple
social networks and messaging services on their smartphones to stay
constantly connected with friends and family, business contacts and communities, thus creating a huge market potential for providers of mobile data services.
Cell-phone’s address book as the central hub of contact management
“Many
users find it increasingly challenging and time-consuming to keep track
of all contacts over their numerous, separated applications, services
and networks involved in today’s personal communication. That’s why
Communology developed a convenient personal mobile communications
application leveraging the phone’s address book as the central hub of
contact management and mobile interaction directly from the home
screen. Any kind of personal communication is just one click away”,
said Thomas Kaehler, CEO of Communology.
LiveMedia C³ Cubical features
·Centralized user interface and log-In to various services
·Integrated contact management leveraging user’s phone book on the device
·Direct
access to device features like camera (e.g. for upload on services such
as Facebook, Flickr, Picasa or Youtube) or GPS (to enable location
based services)
·Integration of SMS, MMS, Email, Visual Voicemail and Mobile IM services like MSN, ICQ, Yahoo
·Optional display of buddies’ presence, status, moods and even location
·Simplified access to social media and networks like Facebook and Twitter
·“Click-to-Contact” over any communication channel
·Access to all contact information and pictures over any communication channel
·Eye-catching intro screen featuring central rotating contact menu
LiveMedia
C³ Cubical is an addition to Communology’s broad range of proven
LiveMedia solutions. Installations at major mobile communications
industry players like Sony Ericsson, Nokia, T-Mobile and Vodafone
provide a convincing proof of concept for the company’s unique approach
to application design. LiveMedia solutions are available for Visual
Voicemail, Instant Messaging, Mobile TV, mobile social networking,
infotainment, and mobile marketing campaigns. LiveMedia C³ Cubical
integrates many components of these proven solutions. Communology’s
LiveMedia clients integrate flexibly with third-party server
components. As white-label solutions, they enable mobile network
operators to roll out new offerings quickly using ready-made products
that can be tailored to their specific requirements in terms of
functionality, branding, or look and feel. Like all LiveMedia products,
C³ Cubical enables optional integration of advertising in various
formats, update and client version management and can be distributed as
a pre-loaded software or downloaded over the air (OTA).
“Mobile
network operators offering services based on Communology’s C³ Cubical
client can benefit by increased data service uptake generating higher
revenues and ARPU. The distinct increase in convenience will help them
attract new target groups and improve customer retention”, Mr Kaehler
added. “LiveMedia C³ Cubical provides the ‘central community screen’
and ease of use that hyperconnected users need. It creates a strong
differentiating factor and an added value as the foundation of
sustainable business models, including advertisement.”
