Das auf mobile Applikationen (Apps) spezialisierte Softwareunternehmen Communology bietet Mobilfunkunternehmen lizenzfreie Test Clients für Visual Voicemail (VVM). Damit können die Unternehmen interne Tests und Demos durchführen und dabei schnell und effektiv validieren, mit welchen Servereinstellungen sich VVM-Dienste in ihrem Netz realisieren lassen. Communology stellt VVM-Test-Apps für die von Mobilfunkunternehmen derzeit stark fokussierten Plattformen Android und Symbian bereit. Sie entsprechen den Empfehlungen der OMTP (Open Mobile Terminal Platform), einer weltweiten Allianz bedeutender Telekommunikationskonzerne und Endgerätehersteller. Communologys mobile Visual Voicemail Software ist zudem interoperabel mit den Voicemail-Systemen der führenden Anbieter und wird weltweit bei bedeutenden Mobilfunkbetreibern eingesetzt. Mit Communologys lizenzfreier Testsoftware lässt sich die Time-to-Market für die attraktiven VVM-Dienste erheblich verkürzen.
„Die klassische Voicemail entspricht nicht mehr den Anforderungen anspruchsvoller Nutzer und so ist es kein Wunder, dass Visual Voicemail immer populärer wird. Wer VVM schon einmal auf einem iPhone eines Bekannten gesehen hat, möchte es selbst auch nutzen. Mobilfunkunternehmen stehen vor der Herausforderung, möglichst schnell VVM einzuführen und die installierten Serversysteme abnehmen zu können. Und genau dabei helfen unsere lizenzfreien Test-Apps“, so Thomas Kähler, CEO von Communology.
at MWC, Communology shows its Mobile Test Edition (MTE) portfolio. MTE is a collection of test modules, certified by GSMNA and other organizations, for testing and assuring the quality of mobile phone software on Android, Symbian OS 9, Windows Mobile and Java ME. In addition, Communology will be presenting the new MIDP 3.0 upgrade for its Java ME MTE module at Mobile World.
Communology is also showing LiveMedia solutions for advanced mobile messaging and networking, as well as multimedia applications like TV/video and mobile marketing.
Sophisticated applications for common mobiles running Java ME
At the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Communology, a Cologne, Germany-based software house specializing in mobile applications, aims to dispel the myth that sophisticated applications can only run on smart phones. The company will be showing LiveMedia C³ Cubical and LiveMedia Visual Voicemail, new software clients that also support feature phones and Java ME, the dominant platform in the medium-priced mobile segment. With its smart Java apps, Communology is targeting the needs of mobile operators that want to present richer offerings to the mass market. Demonstrations of these apps can be viewed here on YouTube
Smart Java apps
“Today, mobile apps are the domain of smart phones. Although mid-price feature phones are much more common, hardly any attractive applications are available for them. The question is why this vast potential market has remained largely untapped. One reason is that developing advanced applications which need to control multiple functions on user devices is significantly more complex on Java ME and proprietary platforms than it is on smart phones with their open interfaces. Now, though, our Java specialists, with their many years of experience, have succeeded in creating sophisticated applications for the mass market. The keen interest this has generated among mobile operators shows that our smart Java apps stand up to comparison with apps for Android, the iPhone, and similar platforms,” said Thomas Kähler, CEO of Communology.

Communology möchte auf dem Mobile World Congress in Barcelona mit dem Mythos aufräumen, anspruchsvolle Apps wären nur mit Smartphones möglich. Das Unternehmen präsentiert mit LiveMedia C³ Cubical und LiveMedia Visual Voicemail neue Software-Clients auch für Feature-Telefone sowie für die im mittleren Preissegment vorherrschende Plattform Java ME. Mit den „smarten“ Java-Apps addressiert Communology Mobilfunkunternehmen, die ihr Angebot für den Massenmarkt aufwerten möchten.
„Mobile Apps sind heute eine Domäne der Smartphones. Trotz ihrer viel größeren Verbreitung gibt es noch kaum attraktive Angebote für die weit verbreiteten Feature-Telefone im mittleren Preissegment. Da stellt sich die Frage, warum das riesige Marktpotenzial bislang so wenig ausgeschöpft wurde. Ein Grund: Die Entwicklung wirklich anspruchsvoller Apps, die mehrere Endgerätefunktionen steuern müssen, ist mit Java ME und proprietären Plattformen eben sehr viel komplexer als mit Smartphones und ihren offenen Schnittstellen. Unseren Java-Spezialisten ist es dank ihrer langjährigen Erfahrung dennoch gelungen, anspruchsvolle Apps für den Massenmarkt zu realisieren. Das rege Interesse von Mobilfunkunternehmen beweist, dass unsere smarten Java-Apps den Vergleich mit ihren Pendants für Android, iPhone und Co. nicht zu scheuen brauchen“, so Thomas Kähler CEO von Communology.

Every one of the app stores to follow in the wake of the Apple storefront has been built around a smartphone platform. That’s fine, there are hundreds of millions out there – and the space is only getting bigger. Still, what about the feature phone crowd? Mid-range handsets can do video, imaging, MP3 and more. GPS will probably be next. So why ignore them? Well, it seems as if the smartphone myopia is in decline.
Fits excellently to Communology’s focus at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona: The software company aims to dispel the myth that sophisticated applications can only run on smart phones. The company will be showing new software clients that support feature phones and Java ME, the dominant platform in the medium-priced mobile segment. With its new smart Java apps, Communology is targeting the needs of mobile operators that want to present richer offerings to the mass market.
