Aliso Viejo, Calif, United States
:
Smith
Micro Software, Inc. (NASDAQ:SMSI)
announced today that T-Mobile® USA selected its QuickLink® Zero solution
to simplify and enhance usability of mobile hotspot devices and tethered
smartphones. The new solution will improve the reach of T-Mobile
products and services to Wi-Fi only devices, while reducing customer
care costs associated with complicated hotspot setup.
By simplifying 3G/4G connectivity from Wi-Fi devices such as tablets,
netbooks, laptops, and e-readers, the QuickLink solution enables
operators to increase engagement with their customers using large screen
devices, which are more likely to generate additional services uptake by
subscribers. Proactive alerts provided by QuickLink help users to
understand which devices are connected to their hotspots and manage how
much data is being used by each device, helping to avoid security holes.
Through a consistent connection experience across device types, Smith
Micro is dramatically reducing the cost of ownership for these devices
while providing a feature-rich user experience to subscribers.
“We’re thrilled to have T-Mobile
expand the number of mobile platforms on which our market-leading
QuickLink solutions will be offered to their customers,” said Bill
Smith, CEO of Smith Micro Software. “QuickLink Zero will provide
T-Mobile a device time to market advantage along with rich features for
service innovation that will redefine the hotspot experience.”
Smith Micro leveraged their Secure
On-Device API (SODA™) architecture in QuickLink Zero, offering
carriers a consistent way of communicating with mobile connectivity
devices from multiple platforms, which reduces integration and support
costs while increasing customer satisfaction with a simpler user
experience.
QuickLink
Zero and the QuickLink family of connection managers are part of
Smith Micro’s Mobile Experience Platform that helps Mobile Operators,
Device Manufacturers and Enterprises simplify and enhance the mobile
experience while optimizing network and device resources. For more
