Synchronica, a provider of mobile email and synchronization solutions, recently unveiled Synchronica SimpleMail, a new consumer push email (CPE) solution that brings mobile email to almost 100 per cent of handsets in use today.
Synchronica SimpleMail includes ‘Email to SMS’ and ‘Email to MMS’ gateways and a client-less solution for WAP/xHTML browser access. It also features the patented Optimizer transcoding gateway, which reduces the size of pictures and allows a large variety of attachments, such as Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents, to be displayed on feature phones that would otherwise be unable to support this functionality.
Other features included are:
· Support for .doc, .zip, .pdf, .mpeg, MP3 and HTML attachments
· Supports Google Mail, Yahoo, MSN Hotmail+ and any POP3, IMAP4 mailboxes
· Real-time device auto-detection
· Multi-lingual support (English, Cyrillic, Chinese, Arabic, Kanji)
· Support for multiple email accounts on one device
Users can register for the service from their mobile handset, rather than having to register via a PC - a key benefit in emerging markets, where broadband connectivity is rare.
Based on technology from the recent acquisition of former competitor AxisMobile, and available immediately, Synchronica SimpleMail extends the addressable market for push email to even the most basic handsets, making it an ideal service for mobile operators in emerging markets.
“Synchronica SimpleMail, which is based on technology from our recent acquisition of AxisMobile, extends our reach from Smartphones and feature phones right down to even the most basic of handsets. This is a key proposition for emerging markets and has already brought us two new mobile operator customers, one in Africa and one in India,” said Carsten Brinkschulte, CEO of Synchronica. |
