TelcoBridges™ and TI Square Provide Innovative Video Calling Application to Korean Mobile Operator KTF
Integrated Voice, 3G Video and MMS Calling Services Create New VAS Opportunities for Domestic and International Operators.
Montreal, Canada (PRWEB) April 29, 2008 -- TelcoBridges™ Inc., the preferred hardware and software supplier for telecom solution developers, today announced that solution provider TI Square of Korea is using TelcoBridges' telecom platform to deliver a voice, 3G video and MMS-based application to leading Korean mobile operator, Korea Telecom Freetel (KTF).
KTF's 3G (W-CDMA) Video Special Call Service provides video messaging, call recording, and voice analysis capabilities that evaluate voice patterns and gauge the sincerity of the caller. Packaged and sold as the "SHOW Love Detector" and the "SHOW Lie Detector," these fee-based video calling services - which are rapidly gaining popularity throughout Korea - enable users to conduct mobile video conferences that feature a "love meter" on the screen of their handset during the conversation. At the completion of the call, users receive an MMS-based analysis of the conversation, which details the level of surprise, concentration and honesty of the speaker. This Value Added Service is rendered to subscribers on an unlimited-use basis, for a set monthly fee.
Solution provider TI Square is leveraging TelcoBridges' highly-scalable telecom platform along with its own application software to provide this service to KTF. TelcoBridges' TB-Video gateway handles the video calling functions needed to provide a 3G upgraded version of the Video call and the real-time "Love Detector" graphs displayed on the handset screen during the 3G video phone conversations.
"We are proud of being the first company in the world to create this video service using TelcoBridges' technology." said Gil Soo Lee, President & CEO of TI Square.
"We will also continue to have new video projects along the same lines of this successful deployment".
TelcoBridges TB-Video gateway technology provides the scalability that KTF needs to supports millions of potential subscribers. Its high-availability architecture - without a single point of failure - provides the reliability needed to avoid dropped video calls. And TelcoBridges' flexibility provides SS7 and ISDN support to connect to any network, and support an array of applications such as Mobile TV, Video-mail, Video Clip Streaming, Video Ringback tones, and a host of other applications.
"KTF's deployment is a first-of-its-kind offering that enhances the company's brand, and provides new revenue generating services that KTFs customers are excited about," said Gaetan Campeau, President of TelcoBridges. "This successful deployment, built on our telecom platform, is a role model for mobile operators around the globe to follow."
