"It is imperative that operators continue to maintain control over the access and discovery of content and services for their subscribers to ensure not only a personalized, consistent, and fast user experience, but the ultimate security of the device," said Richard Wong, senior vice president, product and solutions group, Openwave. "The launch of Mobile Edge brings the capabilities of our mobile access gateway to the next level, providing intelligent content management and delivering revenue generating services for both on portal and off net services."
Openwave leads the industry with its mobile access gateway with over 70 installed customers worldwide including KDDI, Cingular and Vodafone.

-- Openwave Mobile Edge Accelerator -- maximizes the value of existing portal investments and ensures faster delivery of rich off-net content to all devices, dramatically improving the user experience while also reducing the cost of data transmission.
-- Openwave Mobile Edge Security Suite -- offers secure content management tools and capabilities to help operators provide fundamental mobile data access safely and securely while confidently launching new on and off-portal data services.
"One of the biggest challenges facing operators today is how to effectively move beyond the walled garden and successfully enable off-net content as a core part of their next generation mobile data strategy built around personalization, rich content, and a more converged user experience," said Mark Lowenstein, Managing Director of Mobile Ecosystem. "Operators that most effectively package a hybrid of on- and off- net content with a wrapper of security features, will build a trusted relationship with their subscribers and ensure a differentiated data services offering."
