Tecnomen and Nokia to promote 3G video mail

April 27, 2004

Tecnomen and Nokia announced a cooperation agreement aimed at promoting video mail services to the 3G telecoms market. According to this agreement for co-marketing, Nokia and Tecnomen will ensure the compatibility of Tecnomen's Video Mail solution and Nokia's 3G Core system.

"Our close relationship with Nokia allows us to benefit from their marketing expertise and global sales channels," says Petri Nordlund, Director, Sales and Customer Operations, Tecnomen. "Our adherence to open standards-based technology creates a risk-free investment opportunity for operators. This flexibility is key to ensuring interoperability and mass market potential for video mail without large migration costs."

The basic functionality of Tecnomen Video Mail is quite similar to traditional voice mail. Unanswered calls are forwarded to the video mail service. Callers will see subscribers' personalised video greeting and can leave video messages. Subscribers are notified of messages and can view them via their 3G terminal at a convenient time. Advanced services and capabilities, such as personalisation, further enhance the usability of Video Mail beyond that of traditional messaging.
