Synchronica officially launches MessagePhone low-cost mobile device
Mobile email and data synchronisation group Synchronica PLC (AIM: SYNC) said the MessagePhone low-cost mobile device aimed at emerging markets will be officially launched tomorrow, February 10, in London.
The MessagePhone comes bundled with Synchronica Mobile Gateway and an HTML browser to enable push email and mobile synchronization services, mobile instant messaging, web browsing and access to social networking sites.
Last week, the company announced it received the second purchase order for the MessagePhone it has developed with third parties in a collaboration agreement that was announced in July 2009. It said its partners received an initial purchase order for 20,000 MessagePhone devices from one of the largest worldwide operator groups in emerging markets.
CEO Carsten Brinkschulte commented on the launch: "With two contracts for the MessagePhone already agreed, and a significant addressable market in emerging economies - where the mobile Internet is a cost-effective alternative to the lack of fixed-line/PC penetration - we are confident that the device will prove successful."
Synchronica secured the first order in November 2009. It had not been expecting sales of the devices until the 2010 calendar year. The first order was placed by a Central-African mobile operator which had purchased a 100,000 user license for Synchronica’s Mobile Gateway mobile email product only days prior to the MessagePhone order.
When the company announced the collaboration in June, it said it was likely to be for an initial term of four years, and that it planned to contribute a total of US$1 million to the collaboration in equal monthly instalments over two years towards the additional operating expenses incurred by one of the collaboration parties.
The MessagePhones utilise the infrastructure provided by Mobile Gateway, building an end-to-end entry-level push email product. Under the collaboration agreement, Synchronica will receive a commission of 3 percent of the net sales revenue from the sales of the MessagePhones. This revenue will be in addition to licence, professional services, support and hosting revenues from Mobile Gateway.
Synchronica develops of industry-standard mobile push email and synchronization products. Its portfolio includes the flagship Mobile Gateway product and the device backup solution, Mobile Backup. Mobile operators in emerging and developed markets use Synchronica's white-labelled products to offer their consumer and business subscribers mobile email, PIM synchronization, and backup and restore services.
Headquartered in England, Synchronica also maintains a development centre in Germany, in addition to a regional presence in the US, Hong Kong and Dubai.
