Wireless Services Launches Multimedia Messaging, Micro-Local Content On Two Carriers.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Carrier's Data Carrier Allows CellOne and MidTex Cellular to Offer Advanced Wireless Data Services and Localized Content to Subscribers

Without a doubt, wireless data is everywhere -- and walking the show floor at CTIA's Wireless IT and Entertainment show, it's clear that the industry has blossomed. Today's announcement by Wireless Services Corporation that it has deployed its multimedia wireless data network and customized, MicroLocal Mobile Content Engine offerings with regional carriers CellOne Great Lakes of Iowa and MidTex Cellular, underscores that wireless data is no longer limited to mobile professionals, but is a part of daily life for Iowa farmers and Texas families.

"Our customers are eager to download ringtones, send photo messages and check local high school football scores on their mobile phones," said Jerry Wilke, general manager, CellOne, Great Lakes of Iowa. "In partnering with Wireless Services, we are able to offer CellOne subscribers these popular services, on a greater variety of handsets. Best of all, the custom, Micro-Local Content gives us a leg up on the competition, who offer the same, generic content to all their subscribers across the country."

By deploying Wireless Services' hosted MMSC offering and WAP gateway, CellOne and Mid-Tex Cellular dramatically increase speed to market, while decreasing the costs associated with rolling out data services. Wireless Services' Micro-Local Content Engine is a new service that allows regional carriers to deliver custom, localized content to their subscribers, such as local news, sports scores, entertainment and other local events. Furthermore, both carriers benefit from Wireless Services' unmatched ability to manage and host wireless data services, as well as the technology to optimize the performance and functionality of existing infrastructure.

"It's an honor to partner with CellOne and Mid-Tex as they expand their service offerings and thereby strengthen their respective competitive positions," said Rich Begert, CEO, Wireless Services Corp. "Our staff of wireless data experts operate carrier networks like they are our own -- so our carrier customers can increase their profit margins and differentiate themselves in the marketplace."

Wireless Services is a carrier's carrier, the trusted partner for all wireless data services for wireless carriers. The company has been operating for eight years as the wireless industry's leading wireless data infrastructure vendor, serving more than 30 wireless carriers in North and South America, Fortune 500 enterprises, advertising agencies and television networks. Wireless Services transports and delivers more than 250 million messages per month.

"Partnering with Wireless Services on the data side of the business was an obvious choice for Mid-Tex," said Ray Hooker, general manager, Mid-Tex Cellular. "Wireless data is a huge revenue opportunity for us, but it is expensive and time-consuming to deliver these popular services to our subscribers. And the team at Wireless Services is top-notch -- there isn't a better operations team anywhere."
