Qualcomm and Kirusa Enter into a Short Voice Service License Agreement

(Business News & Technology News, 30 May 2008)


Qualcomm Inc. and Kirusa have entered into a license agreement to customize and integrate Qualcomm's Short Voice Service (SVS) client technology into Kirusa's Voice SMS platform for distribution to wireless operators, device manufacturers and OEMs worldwide.

Qualcomm's SVS is a versatile, user-friendly voice messaging service consisting of a BREW application resident on the handset. The sender launches the application and records a voice message, which will be delivered via Kirusa's Voice SMS platform to mobile devices and landlines.

"We are pleased to work with Qualcomm on Voice SMS, an exciting addition to the world of short message services," says Ewald Anderl, CTO of Kirusa. "We are confident that SVS will drive new, long-term revenue streams for operators and handset vendors, while offering more personalization options for the consumer. We plan to work closely with Qualcomm to bring the benefits of Voice SMS and the SVS client to operators around the world."

Kirusa's Voice SMS solution has been selected by more than twenty operators around the world.

"Qualcomm's strategic investment in Kirusa, a Qualcomm Ventures portfolio company, helped bring forth a joint platform between SVS and Voice SMS to develop a robust product with a great user experience," said Michal Koenig, Senior Director of product management for Qualcomm Engineer Services Group. "Voice SMS technology is growing rapidly and will continue to grow in the next few years due to a highly user-friendly interface. Regions such as China and India, where multiple languages exist, are expected to account for a large percentage of new worldwide mobile users and Voice SMS customers."
