including Mobile Payment Solution and Identity Protection for Mobile Users
BT and VeriSign Allow Mobile Users to Access Games, Software, Ringtones,
Videos and more!
3GSM BARCELONA, February 12, 2007 – From technology that enables
consumers to use their mobile phone to buy a sun hat on the way to the
beach to the delivery of the latest entertainment over mobile and broadband
connections, VeriSign, Inc. (NASDAQ: VRSN), the leading provider of
digital infrastructure for the networked world, today announced it will
be showcasing its communications portfolio at 3GSM World Congress, including
digital content, mobile commerce and mobile security solutions designed
for network operators, Internet portals, media companies and retail
brands.
“Mobility continues to be of great interest to enterprises
and global brands, but many are still concerned about cost-efficient
mobile payment frameworks, scalable revenue-generating content delivery
platforms and end-to-end security,” said Stratton Sclavos, Chief Executive
Officer and Chairman, VeriSign. “Our digital infrastructure solutions
allow our customers to launch new services quickly and economically,
with the intelligence, scale and security necessary to deliver a compelling
consumer experience.”
3GSM attendees will find a vast array of demonstrations
at VeriSign’s booth (Hall 1, D59) including:
- Digital
Content – VeriSign will showcase a variety of digital content
services, allowing companies to deliver, manage and bill for dynamic
mobile content, across and between major operator networks. British
Telecom (BT) has implemented VeriSign ™ Intelligent Portal Services
to deliver new mobile services to customers. Download services
include games, software, ringtones, wallpapers, screensavers, video
and other personalised communications services. In addition, VeriSign
will also demonstrate its recently announced Intelligent Content Delivery
Network (CDN). By using the VeriSign™ Intelligent CDN, service providers,
media and entertainment companies can deliver high-quality entertainment
to consumers without the cost and complexity of managing their own CDN
infrastructure.
VeriSign will also offer
a hands-on demonstration of its Interactive Messaging Service.
