Nokia Wins Global MMS Contract

Telefonica Moviles has decided to use Nokia's MMS solution in all its subsidiaries when they launch their own multi-media SMS services. Telefonica Moviles' MMS service will first be launched in Spain and Germany in the second-half of this year, and later in the other networks operated by the group. Under the agreement, Nokia will supply a complete end-to-end MMS solution, including the Nokia Multimedia Messaging Center (MMSC), the Nokia Terminal Gateway, the Nokia Terminal Management Server, the Nokia Artuse WAP Gateway, and other gateways products.

The Nokia Terminal Gateway allows users of non-MMS legacy phones to enjoy MMS as well. When multimedia messages are sent to legacy phones, their users receive an SMS notification directing them to a Web site where they can access their MMS message. In addition to the MMS solution equipment, Nokia will provide implementation and integration services, and the Nokia KeyCare Package, which maintains the competitiveness of the MMS solution.
