"Comverse returns to CTIA this year with a diverse and far-reaching value proposition for operators of every size, and serving every market segment,” said James Colby, Vice President of Comverse Americas. "Comverse will present the Total Communication portfolio, reflecting the company’s perspective on a world where people communicate in a simple and reliable manner, enjoying a rich and personalized experience, while the underlying enabling technologies remain transparent to the user.” Some highlights of the Comverse Total Communication showcase demonstrations include: Visual Voicemail – As the global leader in visual voicemail deployments, Comverse brings to market the convenience of receiving voicemails via a visual interface. Now users can select the messages they want to hear, in the order they want, on whatever device is most convenient. With visual voicemail, users now have message access from virtually any device or terminal by means of handset clients, 3G, MMS, Web and Email. Mobile Advertising Solutions – Comverse introduces a non-invasive approach to offering advertising on many different channels of access – all on an opt-in basis – embedded in messaging products, ringback tones, mobile avatars, and a variety of other injection mechanisms. Mobile Advertising is gaining market traction as it creates new revenue streams for operators. Multi-Play Convergence – Fixed-mobile convergence opens up new revenue streams when operators can provide real-time communication (both voice and video) and messaging services across users’ PCs, TVs, home phones and mobile devices with a unified customer interface and address book. Subscribers enjoy intuitive voice communications, text messaging, MMS, and visual voicemail – all with a single number and a presence-enabled shared contact list. Converged Billing – A comprehensive pre-integrated single platform with benefits to both operator and end-user, including multiple identities for personal and business accounts, and a family account hierarchy of prepaid and postpaid plans on one billing plan.
