Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Trials
Users expect to use multimedia services with the same quality, access and reliability as they enjoy for voice. A key challenge in enabling this is 'interworking' - ensuring an efficient, high-quality and cost-effective delivery of IP services across international boundaries and between different operators and service providers.

Dotmobi

Dotmobi is unique – It is the first 'top level domain' dedicated to delivering the Internet to mobile devices. Dotmobi directs mobile users to made-for-mobile Internet content and data services by using the ".mobi" suffix at the end of a web address instead of ".com" or ".org". The ".mobi" suffix is designed to act as a clear signal to users that the website has been specifically designed to be accessed and browsed via the typically smaller screen display of a mobile device. As mobile device penetration continues to outpace Personal Computers by 2:1, the ability to view the Internet on a mobile device will be key. Dotmobi is supported by a cross section of the most visible mobile industry players and application providers, and will become the default address for content and data services that are tailor made for mobile devices.

Thanks to advances in technology and leveraging the proven strengths of 3GSM's global interoperability and trusted environment, users experiences will be taken to a new level of service delivery, quality and enjoyment.

You'll know when people are 'on line' and with a guaranteed grade of service delivery, message receipt can be assured.
