TORONTO, Feb. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Redknee Inc., a leading provider of
innovative infrastructure software that monetizes and personalizes services
and content for mobile users, today announced it has secured a contract from
O2 Ireland. Redknee's mCommerce Gateway (MCG) provides O2 Ireland customers
with the ability to make mobile payments for i-mode subscriptions, content and
media using their mobile handsets.
O2 Ireland, a leader in mobile telecommunications that provides a wide
range of communication services in Europe, will be the first operator in
Ireland to enable its subscribers to make flexible and convenient mobile
payments with the ability to manage and control expenditures. O2 Ireland is
using Redknee's MCG to handle payments for all subscriptions to O2's many
i-mode partners.
Redknee's MCG provides a secure interface for managing multiple content
partnerships, accepting credit and debit cards, pre- and post-paid accounts,
using authentication methods for both the subscriber and merchant, and allows
both the operator and subscriber to define monthly maximum limits for mobile
retail spending.
"The intersection of mobility and retailing creates a significant
opportunity for carriers to generate new sources of revenue, while providing
subscribers convenient purchasing services for today's fast-paced world," said
Lucas Skoczkowski, CEO of Redknee. "O2 is the latest of our customers who
have demonstrated a strong commitment to the success of mobile commerce, and
we are pleased they chose Redknee to provide the necessary critical software
infrastructure."
MCG is now in live operation, handling payments for O2 Ireland's i-mode
service, which was launched in October 2005.
