Hong Kong’s First and Leading Mobile Network Operator Licenses SIMtone Products to Provide Hong Kong Businesses and Consumers with “1-Click, 1-Touch, 1-Command, Any Screen Solutions” that are Integrated, Operate in Real-Time, and are Simple, Easy and Valued by Customers
HONG KONG & Durham, NC (December 3, 2009) – CSL Limited (CSL), a subsidiary of Telstra Corporation and Hong Kong’s leading mobile operator, and SIMtone Corporation, provider of one of the first Universal Computing Platforms for the telecommunications industry, today announced the signature of a broad based, exclusive licensing agreement to develop groundbreaking cloud computing services for use over CSL’s award-winning Next G wireless network to CSL customers in Hong Kong.
CSL will use and showcase SIMtone-based solutions, deliver “high-definition user experience” cloud services and resell private-cloud SIMtone product solutions to businesses and consumers. CSL’s SIMtone-based solutions will be pervasively accessible and seamlessly usable from a multitude of fixed and mobile screens, always connected to one of the fastest and most advanced wireless all-IP networks in the world, delivering peak download speeds up to 21Mbps.
Mr Tarek Robbiati, Group Managing Director of Telstra International and Chief Executive Officer of CSL, said: “Our vision is to fulfill the promise of technology to make our customers’ lives simpler and to empower people to create lifestyles that match their needs and desires. Simplicity enriches our lives, and our strategic partnership with SIMtone will bring the value of simplicity to everyone everywhere. For those who find technology complicated and hard to understand, that seems like a dream. But it's a dream that we're turning into reality every day.”
Consumers and business professionals demand the same experience and applications on wireless that they enjoy on a fixed wireline connection; anywhere, any content, stationary or mobile on any device. CSL’s investment in its world leading Next G HSPA+/LTE network combined with SIMtone’s unique, Universal Computing Platform create an unprecedented opportunity to deliver and support an explosion in demand for the “anywhere digital life” from a new generation of business and consumer devices tailored to new “anywhere” applications.
“CSL is the visionary leader of the wireless telecommunication industry in Hong Kong,” said Mr. Mario Dal Canto, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of SIMtone Corporation, “and has set the direction for a new world of multimedia communication services that will keep us connected with our digital lives around the clock. It’s a real game-changing formula that perfectly aligns with SIMtone’s ’Computing without your Computer’ vision of a world of simple, readily accessible computing and communication services always available via any device. We are delighted to have established this exciting partnership with one of the best and most forward-thinking telecommunication groups in the world.”
SIMtone’s Universal Computing Platform is a “plug-and-play,” secure and massively scalable intelligent-network computing solution that allows operators and content providers to provision, aggregate and deliver all types of applications and services hosted in any public or private “cloud” to a broad array of existing and new devices, from PCs to handsets as well as upcoming low-cost “third screen” devices.
