Panhandle Telecommunication Systems, Inc., Launches Mobile Entertainment Services Provided by ClearSky Mobile Media


ORLANDO, Fla., July 18 // -- ClearSky Mobile Media, Inc., today announced that it will provide its unique mix of mobile entertainment services to Panhandle Telecommunication Systems, Inc., a leading CDMA carrier servicing communities in the Oklahoma Panhandle.

Under the terms of agreement, ClearSky will implement its hosted WAP Gateway and MMS-C, along with its ProPortal, ProVantage, ProVision and RevShare products. This complementary suite of managed services enables consumers to browse the web via mobile phones as well as download content and use multimedia messaging over Panhandle's CDMA network.

"It was a great challenge for us to find a technology partner that could implement a comprehensive solution that would work across all of our data handsets. We found that many companies do not provide the full complement of services and content we required as a CDMA carrier," said Ron Strecker, Panhandle's CEO. "Fortunately for us, we discovered ClearSky has the expertise and professionalism required to successfully implement our solution."

"Panhandle's goal was to expand its services to successfully compete in a dynamic marketplace. By working in concert with Panhandle's management team we were able to help them attain that goal," said Dean Fresonke, ClearSky's CEO. "Not only have we been successful in our endeavors with services to tier 1, tier 2 and tier 3 carriers on GSM and iDEN networks, but ClearSky has also demonstrated its ability to support our clients on CDMA networks, which has proven to be extremely challenging for our competitors."
