Interactive Toolbar is Mobixell’s secret weapon

Rating: Clientless solution for serving ads

There’s been a lot of talk about Over The Top (OTT) services – like Whatsapp and Skype ‘stealing’ customer mindshare from the mobile network operators. Well, chatting with Noam Green, vp for products & marketing with Mobixell, GoMobile News has discovered a way that mobile network operators can fight back. Mobixell is probably best known for providing mobile network optimisation solutions. However, the company is now able to offer its operator customers a Customer Engagement Tool Bar service, which enables operators to wrestle back control of the relationship with their subscribers. The key weapon here is the Mobixell Interactive Toolbar which even enables operators to monetise search. Continue reading

Mobixell and Commtouch help operators battle porn

Rating: Joint solution to keep porn off kiddies’ phones

The UK government along with authorities in Ireland and Australia are promoting legislation which would make mobile phone network operators responsible for protecting children from pornography or other unsuitable web content. Compliance with such laws could be challenging for operators, since web pages and their content are constantly changing, and new sites are registered daily. Hence Mobixell Networks and Commtouch have put together a solution aimed at mobile operators to enable them to comply with proposed web content regulation. For example, it is designed to make certain types of content available only if users opt-in to receive it. It also builds on Commtouch’s GlobalView URL Filtering technology which offers advanced content filtering capabilities. This is especially useful for blogs which might contain a mixture of family-friendly and inappropriate content. Continue reading

T-Mobile’s fair use fracas highlights operators’ plight

Rating: Basically their voice networks aren’t built for mobile data

The hullabaloo caused by T-Mobile UK’s decision to cut the amount of data allowed to its subscribers down to 500 MB a month has thrown the spotlight once again on mobile data network optimisation. Obviously, if the growing number of smartphone users want to be able to surf the mobile network with ease, something needs to be done to ease congestion. Given that there are multiple solutions to this actual problem, it makes sense to suggest that the operators could diffuse the situation by deploying multiple technological fixes. The point which strikes GoMo News, however, is the lack of user education. If we could all help out by off-loading to Wi-Fi, why haven’t the operators publicised this fact more widely? Continue reading

Mobixell Mobile Advertising – Show me the money

So, I have to say. I am here in Italy thanks to Mobixell. But actually, I know very little about the mobile advertising solution from Mobixell. Hence I didn’t know the CEO yesterday. One of the presentations today was from Mobixell’s Freddy Friedman the Director of Marketing.
It was called Show Me The Money and highlighted [...]

Poll: Mobixell Conference – What mobile operators want

So, I am on a learning curve here in Frascati (Mobixell event on Mobile Advertising day) at the moment.  I heard from Telecom Italia and SFR this morning and the perspective from the mobile operator is exceptional. Telecom Italia is evidently a leader in the off-portal mobile advertising space.
I have been focusing on Telia Sonera [...]

Typical blunders around events

Only I can be invited to a Mobixell event in Italy. Spend half the night gossiping with friends to finally turn around to the person next to me and ask “I am so sorry, who are you!  I am a ruthless journalist so be warned”.
He replies – “I am the CEO of Mobixell”.

Then I ask [...]

Best in class is best for content delivery says Vimplecom

Rating: Offering free content first to avoid support headaches
A brave admission from Aleksey Lobanov of Vimplecom as to why a major upgrade to the company’s wap portal was delayed by up to seven months. Essentially although the company would have preferred to source the whole system from one vendor, that’s proved to be just not [...]

But this time he was flying the flag for Mobixell.Mobiixell will be a competitive threat to the likes of Amobee by pushing adverts to clients via the server (where it already sits on many operator platforms). So its not going [...]
