Vodafone D2, SMobile Systems Partner to Deliver Mobile Security


Vodafone Security Shield, Powered By SMobile Systems, Will Protect Mobile Devices Across Germany

COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 8 -- SMobile Systems today announced that it has entered into a partnership with wireless carrier Vodafone D2, to equip Vodafone's German subscribers with anti-virus and anti-spam protection on their mobile devices. Branded "Security," powered by SMobile Systems, this integrated security application -- the first of its kind -- will be available to subscribers via Vodafone live!(TM), Vodafone's interactive entertainment portal, and embedded on several select handsets in the coming months.

"Vodafone is a world leader in wireless innovation and communication. We applaud the company for recognizing the rapidly emerging threat to mobile security, and for taking proactive steps to protect their subscribers," said Gunnar Woelke, Managing Director of SMobile Europe. "We're honored to have the opportunity to deliver the technology that Vodafone D2 customers can rely on to protect the ever-growing volume of content and services on their mobile devices."

Vodafone D2 delivers a broad range of services to subscribers to enhance the mobile experience with multimedia messaging, information, and entertainment. With the integration of SMobile's secure mobile applications, Vodafone sets a new standard for mobile security, ensuring that subscribers can enjoy complete protection as they use their mobile devices to communicate with friends and family, as well as download music, games, sports scores, and more.

SMobile's Security framework provides comprehensive protection from viruses and malware in a wireless mobile environment, coupled with the most enhanced call and message spam filtering capability on the market today. Viruses and malware cause unwanted billing, damage to valuable user data, and can render the mobile device unusable.
