SEVEN, the largest white-label push email provider, announced plans to expand within the Asia-Pacific Region. SEVEN currently has 30 operator customers in the region and more than 100 worldwide, controlling 65% of the white label market worldwide.

SEVEN's push email solution offers a viable alternative to BlackBerry. With support for a wide range of devices (more than 200 models) and device platforms like Symbian, Microsoft, Java, Palm and BREW in some regions, SEVEN's push email solution is available both for personal and corporate email users.

SEVEN has been rapidly expanding its market share over the past three years. Twenty new operator customers were signed in the first half of 2006, including Alltel in the United States, Hutch in India, 3UK in Great Britain and Etisalat in Middle East. Current worldwide customers include Cingular Wireless and Sprint Nextel in the U.S.; KDDI Corp. and NTT DoCoMo in Japan; O2, Orange, Telefonica Moviles, Telenor Group and Vimpelcom in Europe; and Bharti, DTAC, FarEasTone, Optus, StarHub and Telkom Indonesia in Asia-Pacific; Etisalat and Wataniya in Middle-East and Africa.

"The push email market is accelerating rapidly as the technology enters the mainstream of business and consumer products. Simple and fast provisioning ease of use and a wide range of devices to choose from are essential for our operator customers and for their customers," said Siddharth Mahajan, Vice President and General Manager SEVEN Asia Pacific. "We're delighted that 30 major operators and service providers in APAC have selected SEVEN as their trusted push email partner, making us the market leader for white-label push email."

With the upcoming regional launch of SEVEN's Always-On Mail (version 5.2) push email software, SEVEN's expansion plans will focus on the increase in usability and range of supported devices, and on the lowering of costs, as key factors in increasing the customer base.
