De-Fi chooses Covergence for mobile application

BARCELONA, SPAIN: Covergence, provider of next-generation Session Border Controller solutions, has announced that De-Fi Mobile Ltd. has chosen Covergence Session Manager (CSM) to implement security, management and control policies at the access edge of its Mobile Application Platform (MAP).

CSM is designed specifically to address the challenges of the most vulnerable region of IP networks - the access edge.

By deploying CSM, De-Fi Mobile can securely deliver media-rich IP applications and services to its subscribers' mobile handsets.

From a PC or mobile device web browser, customers can access De-Fi's web portal, register to become a user, customize features and functionality, select multiple phone numbers in 30 countries and have configuration software programming sent to the user device via text for use within minutes.

Already, a full line of Nokia smart-phones are supported, available and ready to De-Fi on the global network.

"Media-rich IP applications and services are severely stressing voice-centric cellular networks. Users who want those services on mobile devices are largely confined to costly and limited carrier-approved and supported services," said Jeffrey P. Rice, De-Fi Mobile Co-Founder and CEO.

"DeFi has built its MAP to provide a superior alternative for media-rich, bandwidth intensive, real time mobile applications and services. Wherever WiFi is available, mobile users can access De-Fi's application platform to receive voice, video, gaming and browse the net.," he said.
