Giesecke & Devrient obtains certification of Celltick application for STARSIM product line

Tuesday 24. February 2009 - Giesecke & Devrient (G&D) and Celltick, the leading provider of idle screen mobile marketing solutions, have successfully joined technological synergies in order to fulfill the demand of mobile operators for high-valuable services on cost-efficient and versatile platforms.

A first result of this cooperation is the recently obtained certification of the whole range of STARSIM native cards from G&D for the new version of Celltick LiveScreen Media application. With this solution, a mobile operator can benefit from a high-revenue generating service on a cost-efficient and well proven platform, which meets at the same time the needs for complete user satisfaction.

G&D and Celltick also fulfill the requirements of mobile operators asking for JavaCard SIM cards, as both companies have clearly shown their expertise in this technology in the past. On the one side Celltick, with the development of interoperable applications that can be installed in any JavaCard compliant SIM card, and on the other side G&D, with its flexible, interoperable and field-proven UniverSIM and SkySIM families, have demonstrated how fast a mobile operator can deploy new services making use of this advanced technology.

Both companies are committed to enforce this collaboration in the future with the development of new services that allow MNOs to offer convenient and highly useful applications to their customers, employing well established and readily available bearer technologies such as Cell Broadcast or SMS.
