25th November - Glenayre Technologies, Inc. today announced
that South Africa's leadership in next-generation messaging
technology is to be highlighted later this month at GSM Africa
2005 in Cape Town with a unique, live demonstration of Glenayre
Messaging's leading Video Mail application. The Versera Video
Mail system, launched earlier this year by local operator
MTN as part of its 3G rollout, is one of only a handful in
existence.
The system is to be showcased in a demonstration hosted by
Glenayre Messaging, a global leader in providing next-generation
messaging solutions and enhanced services, and mobile operator
MTN. Visitors to the show will be able to record their own
video message using the live Video Mail system. Clips will
be sent to the Glenayre booth (number C7) where they can be
viewed through the MTN web portal.
"Our Video Mail system takes messaging to the next level,"
said Andy Minnaar, Glenayre Messaging's Johannesburg-based
regional sales director. "Video Mail is enabling MTN to offer
an attractive, high bandwidth service that capitalizes on
their 3G technology investment and satisfies demanding subscribers.
GSM Africa is the perfect venue for us to showcase this system
in operation."
With Versera Video Mail, users can explore a new level of
personalization by recording video greetings and leaving video
mail messages for friends, family and colleagues. Versera
Video Mail works like voice mail, but enhances the user experience
by leveraging the advanced capabilities of 3G. Now, instead
of receiving a voice-only greeting, callers can also see the
subscriber inviting them to leave their message when they
make an unanswered 3G call.
"With Versera Video Mail, users have all the traditional
voice mail capabilities they are already familiar with, now
available for full motion video and audio messages," said
Santie Botha, executive director of marketing at MTN Group.
"Using Glenayre's next-generation platform and advanced services
like Versera Voice Mail, we plan to continue to offer our
customers the widest range of wireless services possible."
