Autonomy moves into 3G market with first customer, Hutchison 3G
February 16, 2003
Autonomy, a provider in infrastructure software for the enterprise,
announced a strategic new sector for its technology, 3G, and marked
its foray into this market with a new customer. Hutchison 3G, holder
of many of the world's largest 3G mobile phone licences, has selected
Autonomy's infrastructure technology for the development of its
new 3G network throughout Europe and Asia.
Autonomy has a unique infrastructure technology that automates
operations on unstructured, semi-structured and structured information
and can be applied to a wide range of applications regardless of
the industry. The Hutchison deployment reflects the culmination
of Autonomy's extensive research and development efforts in 3G wireless
communication standards.
Autonomy's Intelligent Data Operating Layer (IDOL) and interface
Portal-in-a-Box, will enable Hutchison to classify and deliver unique,
location-specific information from hundreds of sources, including
live news, e-commerce, sport and entertainment, such as music-on-demand.
The software will improve the consumer experience, ensuring that
navigations present the most accurate information at the right time,
through the right channels and in the most user-friendly format.
Employing Autonomy's technology, Hutchison 3G will minimize traditional
labour and maintenance overheads associated with information processing
to provide consumers with a single entry point from their mobile
and ...handheld devices to its robust, vibrant network. Initial
deployments will occur in the United Kingdom and Italy, with future
rollouts scheduled for Austria, Sweden, Hong Kong and Australia.
According to Colin Tucker, Managing Director, Hutchison 3G, Autonomy's
infrastructure software was selected because of its unique ability
to integrate unstructured, semi-structured and structured information
in multiple languages and formats: "As the amount and type of data
supported by the 3G network increases, we needed a scaleable solution,"
said Tucker.
"Due to the display and bandwidth requirements of mobile phones
and ...handheld devices, Hutchison 3G needed a solution that could
deliver highly relevant information in real-time to their subscribers,"
said Dr. Mike Lynch, CEO and co-founder of Autonomy. "Autonomy will
provide a scaleable infrastructure that automatically links related
information as it becomes available."
