Tekelec to Present Revenue Growth Strategies for Mobile IM and SMS at Global Messaging 2009
(Market Wire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) MORRISVILLE, NC -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 06/23/09 --
Tekelec (NASDAQ: TKLC), the
network signaling, mobile messaging and performance management company,
will share strategies on growing and monetizing mobile instant messaging
(MIM) at Global Messaging
2009 in London on June 23 and 24, 2009.
Alan Pascoe, senior manager of product marketing at Tekelec and a former
SMS service network designer for O2 Germany, will provide strategies for
incenting subscribers to use MIM without cannibalizing SMS. His individual
presentation, scheduled for June 24 at 9:55 a.m., will analyze predictions
of mobile instant messaging growth and highlight the potential value and
revenue opportunities for both MIM and SMS.
Immediately afterward, at 10:20 a.m., Pascoe will join a panel comparing
and contrasting mobile IM to SMS, exploring interoperability challenges and
identifying value-added services that may drive MIM adoption. The panel
includes European operators Bouygues Telecom and Tele2, and will be
moderated by Pamela Clark-Dickson, senior analyst of mobile content and
applications at Informa Telecoms and Media.
"Operators have several challenges with mobile IM compared to SMS, ranging
from technical interoperability to subscribers' dependence on SMS, due to
the widespread familiarity and delivery speed of text messaging," said
Pascoe. "Operators walk a fine line to continue growing SMS revenues while
simultaneously promoting the benefits of mobile instant messaging."

products that bridge 2G and 3G networks to enable transparent message
