| CelToc: A Powerful Presence and Information Messenger |
 |
| Wireless Instant Messaging (IM) has become extremely popular and widespread during the last few years but has so far been limited to mainly desktop PCs and two-way SMS. |
|
| Unicel's CelToc ("Cell-talk") application is a standards based Presence and Instant Messaging solution that takes messaging to a whole new level by adapting IM systems to GPRS enabled mobile phones. This comprehensive and sophisticated solution increases profits and leverages investments in current 2G and 2.5G and emerging 3G networks while addressing both the network operator's requirements and the end user's needs. |
|
| "Mobile IM channel offers a way to enable more value added services. While SMS is a clear success story; IM is the next generation extension to SMS. IM has the look and feel of SMS but is far more interactive and comes with a whole range of extra features like for instance, a display of what the user talked/typed earlier, integrated buddy lists, and content sharing" |
|
| Privacy, security, and control over their own communications and user profiles are important issues for the subscribers in today's world. CelToc's presence information includes client device availability (phone is on/off, in a call), user status (available, unavailable, in a meeting), location, and client device capabilities (voice, text, GPRS, multimedia). Since presence information is highly personal, it is only made available according to the user's wishes. The network and user defined location is also added to presence to make it more meaningful for providing location based real time applications and services. |
