14 DAY TRIAL // Nokia and Mobitel Slovenia have signed a contract for Nokia's hosted Push to talk over Cellular (PoC) and Presence services.
Nokia will integrate and host commercial, OMA (Open Mobile Alliance) compliant services for Mobitel Slovenia, thus enabling the operator to roll out the solution more quickly and with a reduced investment.
Push to talk service will enable Mobitel Slovenia's customers to communicate with groups or individuals at a simple push of a button, with no need to dial numbers. Nokia Presence solution adds a whole new dimension to push to talk by letting users check before making a PoC call whether the person they are calling is available and willing to communicate.
The hosted PoC and Presence service trial with Mobitel Slovenia and the following deal mark Nokia's Networks business group as an entry onto the Slovenian market. The hosting and integration services will be provided from Nokia's recently launched hosting center in Austria.
Mobitel Slovenia will launch the services commercially on November 15th, 2006.
