With its next-generation IP communication services, Social Communicator encourages more communication among consumers, and helps mobile and fixed line operators increase their average revenue per user (ARPU) by capitalizing on completely-integrated user experiences. More than 15 operators around the world rely on Movial’s unified communications solutions to revolutionize the ways people communicate over the Internet on any device.

“In research we’ve conducted, 60% of online users have told us they want the ability to use any device they choose to experience Internet-like ease, comfort, and usability, regardless of who they are communicating with, and regardless of the applications they are using,” said Victor Donselaar, president of Movial. “These same users also told us they want to be able to communicate with each other instantly about their social content. Social Communicator is all about making social media truly social by adding instant sharing and communication to Internet content, and by providing the same rich user experience across multiple devices and platforms.”

Social Communicator creates new revenue streams for operators, while also bringing rich experiences to users. Until now, social networking, or the sharing and communicating about social content, has not been instantaneous. With built-in presence, SMS, MMS, instant messaging, multimedia calling, and video sharing all available at the touch of a single button, Social Communicator users can now connect, share, and communicate about all of their Internet content — from news and information sources, to popular video and photo sites — in real-time using a variety of communication possibilities on any device. Social media users can get their favorite Internet content delivered straight to any device, and even play videos instantly without having to go to a separate Web browser.

Named by eWeek as one of the top 10 technologies introduced at the world-renowned DEMO 08 conference, an industry launch pad event for emerging technologies and products, Social Communicator automatically determines the best way to share content regardless of a user’s device, or his online/offline status. This approach frees operators and users from the complexities of determining how to reach a specific contact, and instantaneously enables the communication mechanism of choice.

According to industry observer and technology commentator, Mike Stopforth, “Movial’s Social Communicator delivers a rich new way to unite the telcos’ core business of communication with social communities and Internet content on any device. It creates more communication and sharing, which means a boost for carriers worldwide in attracting new subscribers and new communication, content, and advertising revenue.”

Movial enriches the lives of millions of people on three continents that use its proven IP communication software on mobile devices, PCs, set-top boxes, cars, and connected devices to enjoy seamless connectivity to friends and business contacts using unified multimedia calling, voice and video calling and video sharing.

Movial will demonstrate Social Communicator at Mobile World Congress, February 11-14, 2008.
