enables new video dating services
over 3G mobile
Vitrage GOvideoDating promises mass calling
opportunity for mobile
operators and content providers
UK, Newbury – May 19, 2008 – iPoint-media (LSE:IPNT), a
provider of live, interactive video applications and delivery
platforms for web, 3G mobile and media, announces the release of
Vitrage GOvideoDating, a new interactive video dating delivery
platform designed for use with 3G mobile phones. GOvideoDating
enables existing dating services, mobile operators and service
providers to quickly and easily deploy video dating services on
any 3G network and benefit from new revenue opportunities
derived from 3G video calls.
GOvideoDating offers users a new interactive video dating
experience, enabling anyone with a 3G video enabled mobile phone
(UMTS, HSPDA, HSUPDA) to search for and interact with other
video daters. A wide range of functionality enriches the dating
experience, including the ability to create personal profiles
and recorded video greetings; basic and advanced search options;
sending, receiving and viewing recorded video messages; as well
as the ability to engage in live video-chats with other logged
in members, without revealing their mobile number.
GOvideoDating is targeted at the rapidly growing mobile dating
industry. A recent Juniper Research report estimates that
revenues from this industry will push past the $1 billion mark
by 2010.
GOvideoDating is offered as a hosted/managed service, enabling
carriers, aggregators and service providers to rapidly deploy
customized dating services on 3G mobile networks without a
capital investment. The platform supports multiple billing
methods and offers the flexibility to integrate with existing
web or voice dating sites as well as location based services.
The platform's advanced web-based interface simplifies the
creation, deployment and operation of the dating service.
Joseph Daniel, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at
iPoint-media commented:
"Dating sites are designed to help people find
potential partners. The ability to see, hear and interact live
with others, along with the flexibility of doing this at any
time using a 3G mobile phone, will improve the experience of
finding the right partner. GOvideoDating empowers dating
providers to elevate virtual dating to this new level while
offering new sources of revenue resulting from the generated 3G
video calling traffic. We believe that premium voice and web
dating providers can easily deploy GOvideoDating to generate new
revenues."
iPoint-media is currently deploying the first GOvideoDating
solution with a leading UK voice-based social network service
provider. The Company hopes to announce additional European 3G
video dating services later in the year. |
