MATERNA extend their business activities in Italy
Dortmund, Germany 09 November 2004
Having intensified their engagement in Asia and the USA, MATERNA Information & Communications continue their international strategy in Europe. Currently, the Dortmund based telecommunications specialists are expanding business in Italy.
The Italian telecommunications market is said to be very attractive. With more than 84 per cent of people living between Milan and Messina owing a mobile phone, Italy is, after Luxembourg with 97,9 per cent mobile phone users, the country with the second highest concentration of handsets in Europe.
The target group in the Italian market, consisting of wireless operators, media companies and airlines, will be offered the wide range of mobile solutions from MATERNA, based on SMS, MMS, WAP, Java and IP Messaging. MHP (Multimedia Home Platform) solutions and the Mobile Application and Content Server, MACS, developed by MATERNA, will play the main role. Moreover, MATERNA intends to win airlines and airports as customers for various CUSS (Common Use Self Service) applications.
In October, MATERNA introduced itself to the Italian specialists at SMAU in Milan, in order to initiate auspicious customer contacts.
In November, MATERNA will present itself at two other important events in Italy. During the “Infomobility & Telematics Forum“ in Turin the company will demonstrate its successful CUSS solution installed at Vienna airport, which is the first worldwide system providing automatic luggage check-in.
At the “Mobile Fun Forum“ in Milan, MATERNA will present its MACS solution as well as MMS2TV, a service enabling TV viewers to receive, save, forward or to simply answer MMS messages received on the television screen, by means of an inbox developed by MATERNA. The message can also be edited in any way. All functionality is performed through the TV remote control.
