Technology: Mobicom to launch Celltick's LiveScreen(TM) media service

- Mongolia's First Operator Joins the Mobile Marketing Revolution

London (ANTARA News/PRNewswire-AsiaNet) - Celltick, the pioneer of mobile idle screen marketing solutions, today announces an exclusive deal with Mobicom, Mongolia's first mobile operator. Under the terms of the deal, Mobicom will employ Celltick's LiveScreen(TM) Media platform to broadcast meaningful and relevant content to their subscribers' idle screens using cost effective cell broadcast technology.

Mobicom's subscribers will receive message teasers with an easy and intuitive click-through process enabling them to access further information. The teasers will arrive on the handset's idle screen, creating a simple and non-intrusive communication channel.

Operators can target content messages and advertising to individual preferences based on past activity, ensuring that subscribers receive the information that is most relevant to them.

Mobicom's CEO, Gansukh Burendorj, comments: "Our mission is to stay one step ahead of the market and to employ the most innovative emerging technologies to create new value for our customers. With LiveScreen(TM) Media our subscribers will be able to receive and access up-to-date informative and entertaining content on their mobile phones."

Stephen Dunford, CEO of Celltick, adds: "We have a strong presence in the APAC region, including Thailand, India, Sri Lanka and Vietnam, and the recent deal in Mongolia represents our growing presence in the area. We are looking forward to building our relationship with Mobicom and helping them explore the potential of mobile marketing in a new and effective way through the use of LiveScreen(TM) Media."
