OSPr33 is comprised of a suite of mobile applications and a comprehensive wireless portal solution, targeted at network operators, ISPs and other enterprises. It enables organisations to enhance existing services or build and develop an own-brand mobile solution, powered by room33.

The latest release of OSPr33 introduces compelling new user-tested entertainment applications such as mobile games and a new cash payment and credits system. Unique in the room33 solution is My WAP Page - an innovative, traffic-generating application that enables users to easily create their own WAP page, using internal links from the host site, external links, pictures and other personalised content.

Other highlights include enhanced personal information management (PIM) services, an increase in the number of downloadable media like ring tones and icons, interactive mobile directory services and SMS-based marketing services.

In addition to the array of synchronised end-user applications with personalisation features, the room33 Open Service Platform has increased functionality with a flexible information server and more extensive portal management, administration and customisation tools. OSPr33 v1.1 also offers reinforced security measures for hacker protection, built-in spam prevention mechanisms and extended logging for reporting and tracking usage patterns and behaviour. A fully customised version of OSPr33 can be installed at the clients own site or alternatively, hosted by room33.

Our product strategy for the room33 Open Service Platform, includes the ongoing development of key channel relationships with other leading technology companies, said Huw Hampson-Jones, CEO, room33. The aim is to extend our reach to a broader market and enable us to offer expanded systems-integration resources, platform-reselling capabilities and a framework for co-development of new services and applications.

OSPr33 is grounded in open industry standards and is built on a flexible, scalable, high-availability system architecture. It is compatible with current mobile systems as well as future always-on Internet Protocol-based mobile standards, such as GPRS, EDGE and UMTS. The room33 Open Service Platform solution provides a template-based, device-independent application environment, accessible from a variety of wireless devices such as WAP phones, Palm organisers, plus i-mode and j-phone handsets, amongst others.

The market has been asking for a truly device-independent platform offering services designed specifically for mobile situations, said Hampson-Jones. Operators and enterprises are looking for compelling, consumer-proven applications and services and a robust operating framework. OSPr33 meets these requirements with services that are simple to use and fully integrated with each other to improve usability. We provide a fast and effective solution that builds the foundations for m-commerce and increases average revenue per user by delivering high-quality mobile Internet services to customers.
